• STAAD FOUNDATION IS TOO SLOW

    I Have been trying to Design a Combined Footing in STAAD Foundation,But i'm unable to get result.
  • STAAD Foundation Discrepancy in Computed Corner Pressures

    Hello, I am verifying the computed corner pressures of a combined footing with 3 columns subjected to different magnitudes of axial loads and moments. However, I am getting a large discrepancy between the hand calculation and software results. Loading…
  • STAAD Foundation Combined Footing Contact Area

    Hi, I have several question with regard to how STAAD Foundation work with regard to the combined footing’s contact area: In STAAD Foundation, what are the scenarios that would cause the footing to lose contact with the soil? Why is the column…
  • STAAD Foundation No Bar Cut-Offs?

    Hello, I am wondering as to why STAAD Foundation does not cut the longitudinal reinforcements when designing a combined footing? In contrast, some references cut the longitudinal reinforcements (check attached photo for visual comparison).
  • How STAAD Foundation Design for Flexure

    Hello, In designing combined footings, how does STAAD Foundation compute the “Ultimate Moment (Mz)” and “Critical Moment for Distribution Steel (Mx)”? I attached my calculation sheet for reference. Thank you in advance! PDF
  • RCDC Footing design

    Can we design combined footings as per IS456 + IS13920:2016 in RCDC?
  • Zero Thickness of Combined Footing in STAAD Foundation Advanced

    Hello, I am trying to design a combined footing for a concrete column and shear wall that act on the same footing. The size of the footing is 6 ft x 15.5 ft x 2.5 ft. The concrete column is 16 in. by 16 in. and the shear wall is 48 in. by 16 in…
  • Ram Structural System & Combined Footings

    I am currently designing a building using Ram Structural System with ASD load combinations for the steel design and LRFD for the concrete footing design. I have a few pairs of steel columns that are very close to each other and each pair will share a…
  • RE: Combined Strip Foundation

    SFA would analyze/design these footings as independent entities when you define the job as a combined footing. If you want to analyze as a whole, you should model it using a mat type job.
  • RE: Shear Punching Actual vs Allowable in Combined Footings Staad Foundation Advance

    We released a version 08.00.01.33 towards the beginning of 2017 which addressed a number of issues related to combined footings. If you have not downloaded that version, please do so and check. I checked with a combined footing file which I had from you…
  • RE: STAAD Foundation

    There were no Column Reaction Loading within LC#4, 5 & 6. You may want to check these cases. I removed all the component cases ( 1 to 6 ) from the job and only kept the generated cases ( 7 to 33 ) as part of the job. Load Case Type for all the generated…
  • RE: Staad Advanced foundation Unexpected Results

    I exported the input data from the files attached to a spreadsheet and then imported the same into a new SFA file (build 20.07.00.06). For both the combined footings, there is a punching shear failure message in the design progress report. I have retained…
  • RE: Ram Footing Module - Detailing

    I assume we are talking about the transverse reinforcement for combined footings in Ram Elements here. According to the help: Zone: reinforcement in short direction of the footing is distributed by zones. Zones under columns usually require more…
