  • Steel member design - Staad Pro SS6 edition

    In STAAD Pro SS6 edition (Version 20.07.11.70) when a member subjected to Combined Axial force and bending, the member fails with higher ratios (i.e., 200, 216584 etc. ) according to section 9.3.1.1 as per IS 800 - 2007 (LSD). But when I calculate manually…
  • Difference in Compressive & Tensile stress values for a symmetrical I beam which is connected to a vertically restrained plated structure and subjected to UDL

  • Reason for slow STAAD.Pro model analysis

    Hello! I would just like to ask I am working on a big model like 25m by 180m and upon running the analysis, it stopped at RUN BY LOAD CASE or something. So I took a part out and removed some plates and turned all braces into truss members. It…
  • SURFACE LOAD FOR STEEL BEAM GRATING/GRID

    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…
