Can Bentley provide more information on where the forces come from for design of shear walls? Do all loads come from RAM frame or do the gravity forces come from Concept (if integrated and current)? Any additional clarification on this would be helpful…

Hi everyone, I have faced a problem importing analysis forces from Staad Pro to RCDC for a shear wall example. I have performed seismic analysis by using the response spectrum method for a box-shaped and cantilever shear wall in StaadPro. I can determine…

Good day. I was analyzing a model and designing the plates I made at STAAD.Pro Advanced Connect Edition 22.00.00.15. After the run analysis, the result gave the above notice on several plate elements I had. I modeled the plate elements using parametric…

In my model I analyze and design a G+8 RCC Structure, and the column is designed for only the first load case even though other load combinations give maximum axial force and moments. I attached the screenshots of output file below.

When importing a RAM SS file into Concept - does it also important the self weight from RAM SS if it is turned on? I know concept calculates the self weight of the slab/beams automatically - but I am getting significantly higher shear reactions at my…

IS 456 : 2000 stipulates load combinations for design of collapse and serviceability, but not exactly for foundation design. Is it appropriate to use serviceability load combinations for foundation stability check and collapse load cases for reinforcement…

According to the release notes 17.03 RAM Concrete should be considering slenderness on Sway columns assuming you click on "Apply Magnification Factor, ds, to sway frame columns" however when I run the Column Design it states in the report that "Slenderness…

An error is showing while updating the column design in RCDC as shown below. please provide the solution .

I design a very simple column to verify the concrete column design using ACI-08. Column Size : 250 mm x 250 mm Bar arrangement : 4-D20, (D12 @ 250 mm for tie) However, P-bal and M-bal in Analysis output are not same with manual calculation.…

Dear team, I am getting an error, for that I am attaching the model Steel Bldg.std please check & let me know how I can resolved this issue. And what are the things I need to keep on when I designs to avoid these types of errors. Kind regards…

Good Morning everyone, I need your help in this model. I modeled a simple concrete frame which acts as a support for a conveyor housing. But there is a warning showing that I have there is a zero stiffness problem. Need your help in this matter…

Good morning! I was wondering if Concept applies the following section calculations when designing slab systems: -ACI 318-11: 13.5.3 and 11.11.7 -ACI 318-14: 8.4.2.3 and 8.4.4.2 -ACI 318-19: 8.4.2.2 and 8.4.4.2 Each of these provisions deal…

Hello sir/mam, I am post graduate student in structural engineering. I am doing my mini project . And analysing a cable stayed bridge. But having some difficulties and constant errors. please help me resolve this issue. Errors are 1. WARNING…

Hi, I do not see the RC Designer or Concrete Design tab in the workflow. I have STAAD Pro Connect Edition V22 Update 4. Can you please let me know where do I find the Concrete Design or RC Designer tab to perform concrete design for Eurocode?

Good day, people! I just wanted to ask re: printing of text schedule in STAAD RCDC. When I print the text schedule, I can't read the reinforcement details because they're all in symbols. How do I fix this? Thank you in advance!!!

Hi Good day! I am having a problem with the printing of my Design Calculation Report, when it is already generating the design calculation report an error message pops out. See attached. Error Translation: >> Microsoft.NET Framework An…

I am trying to create a physical beam from beam elements (beam between columns is divided into no. of small beam element) . Beam elements on either side of the columns are provided with member offsets along the axis of the beam for accounting column dimensions…

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…

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?
