Dear Colleagues, (i'm not sure if anyone has earlier raised the same query, if so please guide me to that respective post) 1) it can be noted that while checking for column deflection against DFF 200, the actual deflection is shown as 0.101m - is…

Does STAAD calculate deflection of a continuous Main beam (broken in 3 parts by lateral bracings) based on its Ly, Lz parameters or the Main beam deflection is independent of the Ly, Lz parameters?

Dears, I am facing a problem with deflection checks in Staad.PRO (version v8.i) As you can see in the first picture, I have set correctly the DJ1 & DJ2 nodes for two members (inclined staircase beam) DJ1 is the node 254 DJ2 is the node 258…

HI, I am trying to design curved beam which was modeled by using straight lines. I used DJ1 and DJ2 along with DFF of 120 for curved beams. Utilization ratio is more than 1(>25 in this case) even though local and global deflections for individual members…

Dear Community I'm having some issues with DFF comand. I'm using version 20.07.11.45 I'm designing a basic frame (5m) span for a pipe support and when i use the DFF command for checking the deflection there are some issues that i'd like to address…

I read the post in the link. http://communities.bentley.com/products/structural/structural_analysis___design/w/structural_analysis_and_design__wiki/29430.difference-between-the-local-and-global-deflection Now I understand the meaning of local deflection…

I have a question about how to set-up the design parameters to accurately check the top chord deflection of a pitched truss. The high-point of the truss occurs at the midpoint between the two support columns. For a flat truss, I would normally define…
