• RCDC not recognising Dummy beams

    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.
  • How does STAAD determine beam deflections?

    Hello, I am modeling a floor slab (1 ft thick) with concrete beams (all 24" wide x 36" deep). These beams will be cast monolithically with the floor slab, therefore the beams are modeled as 24" deep. My question is how does STAAD determine the following…
  • RE: Modeling a Concrete Slab supported on Concrete Beams

    Model the beam considering the full depth as YD and do not deduct the slab thickness from it because if you do so, when designing the beam reinforcement, the software would only use the provided YD for calculating the effective depth. It is true that…
