Floor Loads Applied Perpendicularly to a Sloping Roof

Eren Jaeger

Hi Sirs,

1) Is there a way to apply floor loads perpendicularly to a sloping roof?

2) What is the use of Inclined Floor check box in the floor load feature of STAAD? Is it to perpendicularly apply the loads on a sloping area? Because I tried switching it on and off but the angle of the load doesn't seem to change. Please see the pictures below.

Thanks!

    Hi AndrejLogunov,

    Sorry for the late reply. Just got back to work.

    Thank you for your reply, but I've already done it before. Floor load direction still appears to be aligned with the GY axis (not perpendicular with respect to the  inclined set of members that form a panel(s)) whether I check the "Inclined Floor" or not. Maybe this is because the only options for directions available, as can be seen in the dialog box, are  those along the Global Axes.

    I'm just curious on how the "Inclined Floor" feature affects the floor load application. Hoping you can clear this up.

    Thanks!!
