How does staad calculate d/t of tapered sections, I mean what depth "d" it will take if the web depth is varying along length. Particularly I am using IS:800-2007 Code.
By default, STAAD performs member design at 13 sections, including start and end of member and 11 intermediate sections. For each section, all design checks are performed for all load cases specified for design, considering the dimension of that section. For tapered member, for each 13 sections, during design the section dimension is computed first and then that section dimension is used to determine the section class and modified section properties are used for subsequent clause checks.
Noted.. Thanks
