Dear Staad expert,
I need to model a Steel Composite Column in STAAD Pro (an H beam encased with reinforced concrete or HSS filled with concrete), is this possible or not? I have searched the help file but did not found anything talk about it.
Actually I just want to include the stiffness of this composite column in my Analysis mode. Please shed some light on this.
Can you show me how do you do the Steel Composite Column? thanks.
Please refer to the wiki below
