Please, i need your help, pls how can i simulate a building collapse on STAAD pro software, i am currently investigating the collapse mechanism of a structure and i am finding it difficult to simulate the progressive collapse using STAAD sofware, thank you
STAAD.Pro currently does not have the capability to handle a progressive collapse type analysis
Thank you so much for this, the push over analysis is a very good one for collapse simulation, however, this only deals with lateral loading, can we have something similar for gravity loads?
Thank you
Hi,
In STAAD.Pro, there is a Pushover Analysis option to perform static nonlinear incremental analysis. See more in Help manual chapter G.17.4 Pushover Analysis.Also, you may have a look at these threads for additional information and analysis options available:
