• How to determine the max axial and shear force in multiple Members

    I am creating a list of forces with their max axial and shear forces. See below for example of this table : Is there a way for Staad to compute a similar table? Or at the very least use a simplified way of getting these values? Please help. I have…
  • Frame Story Shear to Check Beam Axial Force

    This is a two separate question post regarding Braced Frame Beam Axial Forces. PART 1: Looking to get some clarification on the correct axial load to be checking Braced Frame beams for with single diagonal braces. Per this Wiki article and some answers…
  • RAM Moment Frame Axial Loads

    How are axial forces determined in moment frames in RAM Frame? I have a 45' tall structure with a partial mezzanine. The roof is modeled as semirigid and the mezzanine is modeled as rigid. The mezzanine area has moment frames while the full height area…
  • STAAD CONNECT v22.01.00.39 - AISC 360-10 Truss Design Check - Incorrect Labeling of Axial Force

    Hello! I have had a colleague come to me with a problem with the latest STAAD CE (v22.01.00.39). They created a simple truss model, and when checking the compression chord (Beam 3) on the outside of the truss, the loading diagram and beam end results…
  • Re: Slab Element in Staad

    Hi All, When modeling like this, there is a large axial force in the beams, which is not realistic How can we overcome this problem ?
