Design Spectrum for elastic Analysis

Please describe the issue in details. What are the differences which you see? Can you illustrate it with a screenshot? Which STAAD.Pro version are you using? Can you attach the related STAAD.Pro model?

For your information, I just run the seismic design by using Staad Pro step for EC8 codes. Then what I can see is the input data that Staad Pro developed for the elastic response spectrum are different from my manual design output data (the shape of the graph is still the same). I'm using Staad Pro connect edition version V22 update 12.

Can you illustrate the difference with a screenshot and attach that model?

Here the manual calculation then compare this Staadpro model show that the value to developed the Response Spectrum Analysis are not same.

Here sample from std file:

What soil class are you considering in your manual calculations? In your STAAD model, soil class E is used. However, if we change the soil class to A, the response spectrum values become quite similar. Make sure that the same soil class is considered in STAAD model and your manual calculations.

For your remark that the soil class chosen by class E. Can you check the value for Period and Acceleration in staadpro for soil type E with design ground acceleration and behavior factor is 0.151 and 3.9. 

For your remark that the soil class chosen by class E. Can you check the value for Period and Acceleration in staadpro for soil type E with design ground acceleration and behavior factor is 0.151 and 3.9. 

In my opinion, the response spectrum accelerations in your calculations are not multiplied by soil factor S=1.4 for the soil type E. If you would multiply your spectra by 1.4, the resulst will be close to STAAD.

 

For your information, my response spectrum acceleration is multiplied with soil factor S=1.4. But the value for Design Ground Acceleration in STAADPRO is for ag value not ag.S. It is right? My manual calculation is ag.S that I put in Design Ground Acceleration in STAADPRO. After redo back so my manual are same as STAADPRO value.

Sir, one more thing can you share the file on how STAADPRO runs DESIGN RESPONSE SPECTRUM with completion mode in EC8.
