• STAAD Foundations Punching Shear Dcritical value incorrect

    Hello, I have exported the load cases from a STAAD model to a foundation model, and I have begun the design for pile caps. However, I am getting strange values for Dcritical. I have a 48" thick pile cap, and the effective depth calculation reads as follows…
  • Design of Solid slab (Conventional slabs)

    Hello Everyone For a while, I was using an Advanced Concrete Design (RCDC) for the design of a solid slab. Today I tried to learn the RAM concept for the slab designs but I saw a design of strips that had never seen before (When I was using RCDC and…
  • Dummy beam

    Hello Everyone. I create a dummy beam with density=0 and E=0 (Figure.1) then I assign the beam (Figure.2) then Staad Error occurs( ***ERROR*** MATERIAL NAME MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY BLANK SPACE )(Figure.3), What is the solution?
  • Nodal Displacement and Member displacement and its allowable as per BS5950

    I have modelled one simple structure in STAAD PRO and found that there are two types of displacement value in post processing. NODE and MEMBER. Which displacement shall i use for comparing with allowable displacement as per BS5950 code.

  • how to get the loadings details in report????

    I have got my report, but there is no loading details like dead load, Wind loads and all... In report settings i have added Loadings, but its not showing.... Wt to do???? i want to see other load details. How to get that details?
  • Elemental stiffness matrix

    Hello, I built a simple truss model in Staad pro V8i. I am wondering whether there is a way to extract elemental stiffness matrix in global coordinate? I can access global stiffness matrix by enter SET PRINT STFFINESS in the basic solver. Is there any…
  • Individual Structural Member Labels

    Is it possible to turn of a label for a specific structural member? I know I can move the label around, rotate it, etc. Also is it possible to turn off a specific structural member? These are all being imported from RAM. Is deleting the element in Structural…
  • Gravity tilt & Load factor in Staad offshore

    Dear friends In Staad offshore we have option to include gravity load effect by clicking Gravity tilt. My question is can we able to consider Gravity tilt for few load case included and few load cases excluding gravity tilt. when i tried its either…
