• WT/Angle Section connection eccentricity

    Is there any way to simulate the eccentricity due to connection of angle/WT section with gusset in STAAD? Or do we need to perform additional check for member design due to this eccentricity manually?

  • RE: Member truss Element fails in combined check- Select Series 5

    If I am remembering correctly the design routine in SS5 is calculating the moment due to eccentricity of the axial force, resulting in such moments/interaction checks even though the member is specified as TRUSS and does not have moments based on the…

  • Change reference point with affecting beta angles

    I'm trying to change the reference point for all of my beam elements so the start and end nodes are all commonly oriented. I would like to do this without the rotations of my members (beta angles). Can this be done?

  • RE: Different rz for angle between SELECTseries6 and SELECTseries5

    The rz value for L4x4x1/4 used to be 0.795 inches in older AISC section databases for example the one that was a part of the AISC 9th edition code. However more recent versions of the AISC code has updated the value. For example if you refer to AISC 360…

  • RE: steel Angle

    Yes single angles in STAAD.Pro are designed with respect to the principal axes as required by many country codes. Certain codes like the AISC 360 do permit designing the single angles with respect to geometric axes under certain conditions and those are…

  • RE: Design of single angle as per IS 800 and AISC 360-10 codes in STAAD

    The AISC 360-10 allows single angles to be designed as per geometric axis only under certain conditions like if the angle has a continuous lateral restraint or the angle is an equal angle, bending only about one of the geometric axis with no compression…

  • How would a stadium structure be modeled in RAM?

    I've only modeled rectangular floor plans in RAM structure before. This particular assignment is a bit different (advanced steel structures class). How would I go about modeling this? If steps could be outlined for me to begin modeling, that would be…

  • RE: Rotation of unequal angle profiles

    You have specified the beta angles for most of these unequal angles as 180 and some are left to the default value of zero. The only issue with that is, the angles will be oriented at a certain angle to the global planes because STAAD is going to orient…
