I am working with some frames that I consider they need to be strengthened with some brackets in the joints of the column and the roof beams (see the attached picture). I know that it is possible in other software like ROBOT.
How can I do it?
Thanks in advance.
Hi afconsult,
You can model the haunch as per pictures below:
or
and optionally
how can i design these plates as haunch in Staad Pro?
Plate elements cannot be designed by STAAD. You can get the stresses of it and check it manually.
May you help me with a short hint on how to do it and how to compare with staad stresses value?
After the analysis you can go the Plate Stresses graphs to check the Von Mises stresses and compare it with the allowable steel strength.
