• Staad Plate Element for foundation

    Hi all Iam trying to analyse a combined footing using plate element in staad. I have modelled pedestals and applied load. But the bending moment profile is not matching with the theoritical calculations i.e., at support from the cantilever projection…
  • Releasing plate elements from attached beams?

    Here's a situation that seems to come up frequently: I create a model in STAAD that includes a combination of linear elements (for things like beams, columns, etc.) and plate elements (to model surface elements like floors, roofs, etc.). When surface…
  • Staad foundation advance mat foundation design calculation sheet

    how does staad foundation compute for the width of the footing during Design calculation per ACI?..Formula of Rn=Mgov/0.9*Deff^2*width---what is the width in that formula?Thanks
  • Plate forces........

    Hi everybody Can anyone please tell me what is Mxy in a plate, If Mx and My are the moments in x and y direction respectively, but what is Mxy? hope this is not torsion for that plate. Can anyone please exlplain? - thanks for response
  • Re: Slab Element in Staad

    yes i know the said thing but in actual practice we have different conditions for plate such as simply supported, fixed etc. then in space frame with the model say 3*3 bay both sides and height of building say 20 meter then in that case if i am using…
  • STAAD: Bending moment in plate elements

    Hi I've been using STAAD for quite a while for steel design, but now I need to use STAAD for design of a 3D concrete frame, and have some difficulties with the modelling and the STAAD output. Modelling: From steel design, I'm only…
  • Design Of Plate/Raft

    Dear All, I want to design a raft modelled as plate. But i have one confusion, which stress i have to take. However, i am thinking to consider the centre stress of the plate (Mx,My and Mxy) but should i consider the principal stress? i am discussing…
  • Plate Properties in staad

    Hi all, i wish to know is there any command in STAAD to keep the sectional properties of staad in the required format? Kindly look at the attachment Thanks in advance
