Hi all, i have modelled a building in staad.Pro and design rc beams in rcdc software, i have mostly shear tc max failure , plz help y this failure occurs. for example; In 3.15m level , b19 beam in rcdc, has Shear tc max failure. If concrete…

I tried to Design a Staircase using Multiple Imposed Loading method under slab design in RCDC, there is no option for Live load Input in it and In Design Calculation also I Could not see Live load Included in Calculation.

Hi, we were able to get pt provided in column after design in RCDC table. Whether its possible to get pt required for column design instead of pt provided?

Dear colleagues, i happened to try the 'update design' option in RCDC after updating the column sizes in the STAAD file to 800x400 (original RCDC design was carried out using columns of size 700x350) however though it seemed to check the existing members…

Is it possible to design wall in RCDC with thickness lower than 200 mm? it prompted permissible wall thickness of 200. I just want to know if it it possible to reduce this minimum requirement. Thanks

One of our customer is interested to buy RCDC But he wants to know, it can read ETABS v21 files or not. If not' is there any work around PL reply asap

I am trying to design a ground supported slab using RCDC and i keep getting this error. what is the work around. Thanks in advance

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…

I am designing a fire wall in RCDC. The model imported from staad is attached. I calculated the effective length factor and applied in staad. Now when I import this model in RCDC it does not take the effective length factor from STAAD.Pro. I tried to…

I built a STAAD model for the design of a concrete basin (aka tank) and have zero columns in my design yet the program will not run all the way through because as you can see from the snip below "columns are missing." Can someone please help me to understand…

I am designing RCC 8475.GET READY.STD footing for a model but in detailing there is no mention of depth of footing from ground level and i didnt found any option to show this in drawing and before this i didnt found any option to set this parmeter in…

Hi sir/ madam, i am designing the RCC pedestal/column with pinned condition steel column over it. Now the problem is while doing RC Pedestal slenderness ratio check (ACI CODE) by default it considers end condition as braced (Non sway). I want help to…

Dear Colleagues, 1) at present there is no provision to enter the 'phi' angle of internal friction in RCDC (SFA has this option), so does RCDC assume some/ideal value (or) it is not considered? 2) can we get the actual displacement of Isolated & combined…

Version: RCDC V2023 Stuck at this operation. This topic is in line with my previous issue about the "object" error. I tried experimenting on the workaround of that issue, I tried beams as plates w/ no beam elements and no columns, and beams as plates…

Hi I have made use of DUMMY beams with size of 0.01mm * 0.01mm. Unfortunately RCDC does not detect those dummy beams. I wanted to design cantilever slabs that is possible only if the DUMMY are getting detected.

Can i design a pile cap with more than 6 numbers in RCDC?

i have done the rcdc, column and slab but when comes to beam are shown the beam lines is missing

Regarding to the Slab Validation Sheet ( Slab Design (Direct Design Method) ) which uploaded in this link American Concrete design code ACI 318M-2014 (Metric Unit) - RAM | STAAD | ADINA Wiki - RAM | STAAD | ADINA - Bentley Communities H ow does RCDC calculate…

1. Whenever beam is split because of node insertion, beams with smaller length are failing in shear-Tcmax (Beam 42, 36 in below figure). How to modify these members to pass the section without failure?? O22064-C-FB-07-DC-0001_B.std 2. Also when…

I have a ground floor building, which I want to design in RCDC. Some of the column sizes required(while designing in RCDC) are reduced, If I extend the column above roof slab (around 1m and categorize this 1m height as gravity column). What is reason…

Retaining Wall_Rev A-r0.STD

Have issue with using RCDC importing geometry from STAAD. When it imports the files, it does not recognize all of the supports or member intersections. When I run RCDC it shows some members as cantilevered, when they should be supported, either by another…

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…

Hello, I am modeling a house and created "L" section beams with the User Table Manager. It turns out that the model runs correctly, but when I go to RCDC, some of the beams are rotated 90°, as you can see in the following image: I cannot find the error…
