Hi, I need to perform a secondary order analysis in STAAD.Pro. Question: Is there a command in STAAD.Pro to reduce the stiffness of the element by multiplying a factor to the gross element stiffness when modeling for the 2nd order analysis? I look…

I am working on a structure that has a flooring system of 3/4" concrete board spanning between cold-form metal joists at 16" O.C. The joists span up to 20' between wide-flange moment and braced frames. In an effort to simplify the modeling for this multi…

As a confirmation, the deflection checks run in the beam design section of RAM Concrete are verified against the deflections caused by the load combos applied in the RAM Concrete Beam module. As such the load combos should reflect serviceability and not…
