Hello, I have one question for actual ratio and interaction ratio.
here I am attaching two image for same member, when we see actual ratio in unity check for beam no 92 its something 1.278 and when we check this in member design then interaction ratio is 1.66;
Can you please elaborate this. and also please let me know what is actual ratio if both are different.
For your reference please check staad file also.
for query.zip
Thank you
The one that in the Postprocessing mode ( obtained through Beam > Unity Check table ) is the one to use. The other one is from the Steel Design mode ( commonly referred to as the Steel Designer) and does not have the latest design code and updates and actually it has been taken out from the latest STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition. I would like to add here that at your earliest convenience, please upgrade to the latest STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition ( version 22.00.00.15).
what is actual ratio, how do staad calculate it?
I have doubt when we check same member in steel design calculation its interaction ratio 1.57 UNSAFE showing, but in post processing its showing 1.2 failed. why the two valued its showing?
Can you please let me know what is difference in both ratio.
Can I upgrade current version to STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition ( version 22.00.00.15).
