Googevening,
performing concrete slab verification with staad pro (ACI Code), I noticed some discrepancies between input data definition, as reported below:
and output results obtanained from calculations are listed below:
in particular the following results report in STAAD_Pro output are not in compliance:
- concrete cover definition that must be equal to 75mm but staad defines cover at top and bottom equal to 19.05 mm
- concrete strength that must be 14.16 N/mm2 but staad defines 27.58 MPa
- steel reinforcement strength 450 N/mm2 but staad defines 413.68 MPa.
How these parameters are evaluated by STAAD?
How can I set in a correct way these input data?
Regards
