Good day, I would like to find out how best can the supports for a shear wall be modeled. Considering the footing under a shear wall is continuous, placing fixed footing at the ends of the wall would suggest that the wall is only supported at these…

Good day. This is my first time trying RC design on STAAD and I am experiencing some trouble with the beam designs. I am only trying to find out the sufficient reinforcements for my particular load cases but STAAD keeps mentioning that my beams do…

Good Day everyone, How can I account for the ACI code prescribed cracked sections in surface elements in STAAD Pro, such as a shear wall?

I have RAM Elements 13.4.0.177, which I believe is the latest version. The concrete wall modules, both the concrete wall design and the tilt-up wall design, are still referencing ACI 318-05. Is there or when will there be an update to have ACI 318-11…

We are modeling a one-way slab on beams using RAM Concept. The floor layout / footprint is generally rectangular with 3 elevator cores. The one-way slabs span approximately 22 feet between 3 feet wide beams. There are several one-way slab panels. …

hi does staad foundarion consider the load of the natural soil at the foundation? thanks

Does RAM SS concrete column design module account for additional ties required if rebar is spaced greater than 6" per ACI 7.10.5? If it does, where is that input parameter? I have several columns in my model that have rebar spaced greater than 6"; however…

Dear everyone , i want to know in staad pro analysis if inertia of column and beam need to be multiplied reduction factor when i calculate reinforcment for beam and column? if you have any idea , please tell me , thank you very much!

Regarding PDELTA Analysis for concrete structures, the technical reference manual states that "This analysis method will accommodate the requirements as specified in Section 10.10 of the ACI-318 Code". I just want to confirm the following: 1. Is section…
