• SS5 vs SS6 AISC 05 code design

    Dear All Today i got surprised by seeing the stress ratios of my staad file. All members are hotrolled steel section and very much passing in ss4 or ss5 version with AISC 05 unified code now same members are failing with unacceptable level in SS6 version…
  • RE: RAM Connection - Moment End Plate Beam Splice

    I believe this comes from AISC Design Guide 4, Section 2.1 paragraph 8: Only the web to end plate weld between the mid-depth of the beam and the inside face of the beam compression flange may be used to resist the beam shear. This assumption is based…
  • Web Tapered Members - Plate wise estimate

    Dear Sir/Madam, I have designed a Frame using web tapered members in STAAD Pro. The frame weight shows the weight of different beams members used. For example, the frame is having a member whose dimensions are Web- 250 to 750 mm Web thickness…
  • Staadpro checking

    How to let staadpro only check member deflection but not check member strength(stability)?
  • I can not design tapered section with AISC 2005?

    Hi everyone, I am using SS5 10.65, I have tested 2 cases of tapered section within AISC 2005 ASD/LRFD. Case 1: Tapered section is a straight member, it means start depth is equal to end depth. 1 TAPERED 0.516 0.004 0.516 0.175 0.008 0.175 0.008…
  • SINGLY SYMMETRIC SECTION DESIGN IN STAAD

    Hello everyone. I need some help regarding the design of singly symmetric section by using ISECTION command in STAAD. The code I am using now is AISC UNIFIED 2005. The design for shear, tension and compresssion I think, no problem. However, for the…
