Hello, I would like to confirm on how RAM calculates the max length of shear plate. In my manual calculation Max shear plate length Lmax=d-dct-dcb Beam used in the image below was W10X33 (d=9.75) Lmax = 9.75 - 2.0 - 1.75 = 6.0 However, RAM gives 5.73…

PR-1_24072022.STD I applied Moment along Mx direction. due to that i found rotational displacement with large amount. Also note i have specie as Truss. Attached model for reference. if any mistake by me please suggest.

Hi, I have a series of sloped beams loaded with the same trapezoidal load showing snow drift but the global deflection value I get for each beam appears to be different. I don't think I should I be using local deflection in this case but I'm not sure…

Unable to design cold form z purlins. Also show warning Design member for is not supported for purlins

Hi, I have a question regarding column deflection and sway in STAAD. The below picture shows the deformed shape of a column subjected to lateral forces in a frame. I know the maximum sway/drift in STAAD is gotten from the node displacement value (translation…

Hi there, please I am working on a steel frame design that includes OWSJ in the model. I have tried various forms of releases for the joist members like assigning truss parameter to the diagonals and verticals, releasing moments at the ends etc. but when…

Hi there, I'm modelling a steel frame in STAAD and looking to include c channel girts in the model. The girts (red lines) are to be located on the front face of the column with wall panels (green line) attached as shown below. I plan on using meshed…

Hi everyone, As you know steel connection design in STAAD pro Advanced CONNECT doesn't accept built-up sections for some types of connections (for instance, Cap plate). In order to go around that, I have tried to modify the hot-rolled section database…

HELLO, Can anyone please tell me How to assign these aluminium alloy sections, as it is not present in section database. My Software version is STAAD V22 Update5.

Iam interested to know if i can design a slanting reinforced concrete beam as shown in figure below, and perform its deflection check. This can not be done in RCDC because RCDC design beams at a constant height

Iam designing a concrete slab supported on two beams,the deflection results obtained in staad pro (post procssing) are given in length unit,how do i compare these results with allowable deflection because the alowable deflection according to BS 8110 …

I have a wall tank to design, whose wall material are steel plate of 12mm.I have performed analysis but when it comes to design on assigning design property there is no option to assign parameter on plates only beam, i need a help on this
