Torsion Check by STAAD Connect

hi, 

Can someone share any verification example for torsion design of RC beam as per STAAD Connect. The program is showing fail in many beams which were properly designed in STAAD V8i. Has someone encountered similar situation? Can someone check and revert back?

  • Dear User,

    I am not sure which versions you are talking about. But the reason behind it may be 'CODE ACI". In design section you have mentioned code as 'CODE ACI". Now depending upon the versions it may change. For example in latest version it is referring to ACI 318 2014. In V8i it may refer some other older version where clauses for torsion were not implemented or guiding. You may also refer release note to know the changes made in different versions of STAAD.Pro.
