Is this a normal displacement in STAAD.Pro Connect Edition?I am designing a pedestrian footbridge and I happened to encounter this displacement in a certain load case?
It does not seem normal. Please attach the model for a more detailed check.
DOCXI appreciate your comment.Please see attached word file for the design.
There are many plates which are not properly connected to the beams at the deck of this platform. You can identify such locations by going to Utilities -> Structure Tools -> Beam/Plate Connectivity. You may check the following Wiki which explains how such issues may be fixed: communities.bentley.com/.../connectivity-issues

Thank you for this. It is so new to me. Anyway, do you have any remedy apart from using plates? How floor diaphragm? Do you think it would fix the case in short amount of time?
Or how about rigid links to replace the offsetting then doing the same plate orientation as it is in the file?
