• Built up Columns in RAM connection

    I am trying to design a connection where a beam is framing into a Built up column section (BCF). The column section contains (4) L4x4x1/2" flanges and 12"x1/2" web plate. Is there a way to model this in RAM connection?

  • Section Wizard Assigning a Near Zero Modulus of Elasticity for Plates. Causing Erroneous Section Properties for Built-up Sections

    Hello, I have recently used section wizard to create a built-up section. I have found that for plates Section Wizard has assigned a Modulus of Elasticity of 2.08871e-315 (essentially zero), while for the w-section it is 205 (see first snip below). As…

    Hi, I would like to ask if for example I have a C-shape with a cover plate and I've used section wizard to make this a built-up section and I try to use perform analysis using AISC 2010 method ASD would STAAD be able to design this as a built-up section…
  • RE: Back to Back UPN400, its connection and behavior

    Here are some suggestions on how to model these options Option 1: The channels should be modeled using separate beam elements. You may add these between the same start and end nodes and apply offset to each so that these are aligned back to back. …
  • RE: Ram connection - Tapered section

    You are correct, we don't support tapered or built-up members in the Connection design within STAAD.pro at this time. You can do some connections of this time (mostly the MEP type) using Ram Connection Stand-Alone (or Ram Connection + Ram Elements). …
  • RE: Customize Section Ram Connection

    Try using the UB (or W in US) section type template, rather than the BuiltUpI type. Just enter 0 for the r value (k values in US). You will have to use the same width flange on both sides (I suggest 300mm), but hopefully that's good enough for splice…
