In the RAM SS foundation load summary, what loads are considered in the "self" column?

I have a location where two deck types meet, one with a roof loading and the other with a floor loading. There is an odd line load being applied in the analysis that is greatly affecting the design on my beams and columns. I cannot see to find the source…

Hi, My company usually only use one wind definition for wins area load and factor it for different wind cases. I have 3 wind definitions, and I am getting these messages in Editor. Is it a warning message? DEFINE WIND LOAD TYPE 1 NESC HEAVY INT…

This should be an easy one for you all. When you place a load over a given area and then add an additional load that overlaps it, does STAAD consider the loads additive or choose one or the other? I'm thinking specifically if you define a live floor…

Seismic load combinations are: 1.2D + 1.0E + L + 0.2S 0.9D + 1.0E + 1.6H While calculating the E loading, shall we do it for 1.0D + 1.0L OR based on the factors indicated in the mentioned combinations: 1.2D + 1.0L 0.9D **It is known that…

Dear all, I am a beginner in STAADPRO and I have already read some topics on this forum about this problem. And I tried to improve my model so on. And I have a lot of warnings . Can anyone help me giving me some advices and tell me what's wrong with…

I am modelling a building that has a steel roof truss on the roof slab. Now while assigning dead and live load (Floor Load) on that particular floor, I am unable to see a proper distribution of forces that have occurred through the other floors. I am…

Lately I've been running into issues with my lateral analysis on a large, square steel framed building. The roof is an 1-1/2" metal deck that slopes in one direction and drops 10' over the length of the building, which I've modeled as a semirigid diaphragm…

If there are gravity walls or gravity columns (any material) on top of a gravity concrete beam will these display in these views/report? Or is it only tributary loads (point and line loads) on that floor? Thank!

Trying to apply nodal loads to a frame that is skewed and it seems the options are limited to X and Y only. Applying with X and Y components at frame end did not produce expected results.

Hi, I am designing a steel beam grid (IPN240) and I want to apply a uniform surface load (10 kN / m2) to be taken by the beams. Is there any way to do this without creating a slab on which to apply the uniform surface load? As shown, no…

Hi I need to delete existing load items o node-beams and load cases I cannot find any function about it thanks in advance Roberto

Hi, i have a problem when ytrying to use floor oneway loads, I specify the range in x,y,z and i use the "towards" option, because i don´t want the program to use always the short direction: ONEWAY LOAD YRANGE 2.16 2.18 ONE -0.25 XRANGE -14.51 -10…

I'm working in the RAM Elements Concrete Wall Module, and have applied a variety of loads (vertical DL & LL, in-plane W, out-of-plane W). However, once analysis is run, the axial diagrams and report shows axial load = 0. It does account for the applied…

what is manning of M22 in load table where we can moment value get this in staad.pro ? plz explain. and I attach load table plz check this sir.

In RAM Elements is there a way to input a torsional load on a member? Or does the torsional load have to come from another member (such as a cantilever) with a load on it?

Dear Colleagues, Say if I have to apply wind on all the four sides (+x / +z / -x / -z) of an irregular structure/geometry, is it okay to consider only 2 positive cases (+x / +z) as Basic Load Case and generate 4 load combinations with 2 positive and…

I am using Member loading ( UDL ) and getting warning in the analysis output, which for me seems like a software bug, can you please guide me. Input LOAD 20 WIND: WIND X MEMBER LOAD 13 UNI Y 3.28 0 3.25 0 I have give f1,f2,f3 and f4 as the manual…

Hi Guys, Why are assigning both self weight and pressure loads on plates elements for building slab ?

warehouse.zip wind calculation also in that folder.... try to fix this probem guys

I am designing gusset plate connections from a model I brought in from RAM SS. The frame from the model has bracing with and angle of ~75 degrees. As I understand, RAM Connect will not allow me to design the connection with bracing above 70 degrees. Is…

Dear Colleagues, I happened to open an STAAD file modeled using the previous version, but when opened in my CONNECT Edition 21.03.00.146, i noticed that ONE way loading diagram assigned to a set of beam's FLOOR group, diagram doesn't seem to match as…

what is the difference between plate loads and floor loads on slab designing in staadpro. why peoples used plate loads on slabs?

Hi, I have a simple mat foundation model to which I have applied several loadcases with column reaction forces defined. These appear to be correctly defined as I can see them in the geometry window and they are listed in the load description correctly…

I am analyzing a 350ft+ multistory building which contains a square shear wall core. RAM Frame analysis is giving me excessive deflections (more than what I expect given the core dimensions w.r.t. floor dimensions). I wanted to know if RAM Frame would…
