A warning MEMBER IS SLENDER AND CANNOT BE CHECKED FOR MOMENT FORCES is showing in output file while designing a slender member in IS 800 2007 Code, This warning is start after the software update. if i run the file in older version then there is no warning like this.
so staad is not checking the moment force for that particular member? but its shown pass in utilization ratio. As the member is critical in bending, and along with this warning we are lacking the confidence for using that member.
Hello Anuj Gupta,
I guess for that member web has been reported as slender and not the flange. If that is the case, then it is a known issue and we are fixing this in priority. For the time being if the web is slender and you are getting this warning you may ignore that one as that is a false warning. But if the flange is slender then program will not check for any bending moment.
Hi Abhisek M
Thanks for the answer, Member i am designing is having slender web, As the member is designed and checked for banding also if checked with detailed report using track parameter. so we can ignore the warning and used the section.
Dear Abhishek,
