RC Designer

Hi,

1. In the 3D model columns are tied by beams on both X and Z directions, but at different level. So, I have to define the different length and different length factor for both Y and Z directions of the column. Say, Height & effective length factor in Y direction is– 5m and 1.2 respectively. Height & effective length factor in Z direction is  – 4m and 1.3 respectively. Is there any option in STAAD or RC designer to define this?

2. Can we assign the Start and End of the beams in Concrete design mode? This is required to check the Span/Depth ratio of the physical beam which has been formed by many beam elements.

 

 

  • In the column brief of RC designer. there is provision to input column length factor. As far as height is concerned it is known to RC Designer from the model of the structure.

    2. Physical member beam is a combination of many beams aligned together for the sake of convenience in formulaing the rebar.It will not check for span/depth ratio which can be checked in staadpro
