For the pedestal design, it limits the maximum spacing of pedestal reinforcement to 6". Why is it restricted to user definition? Probably because of this constraint, reinforcement provided is way higher than required. Almost 10x the moment demand. PD…

Can I find somewhere detailed calculation on pile cap design that staad foundation is performing? Currently, for pile cap design, it directly shows the calculated reinforcement ratio without showing any calculation on moment and shear demand.

Hi, I am modelling one model in STAAD pro v8i and have some doubt regarding design of slab Since, slab design is little bit complex in STAAD by creating plate mesh as it divides the beam into "n" number of joints (which makes beam analysis difficult…

Iam interested to know if i can design a slanting reinforced concrete beam as shown in figure below, and perform its deflection check. This can not be done in RCDC because RCDC design beams at a constant height

Iam designing a concrete slab supported on two beams,the deflection results obtained in staad pro (post procssing) are given in length unit,how do i compare these results with allowable deflection because the alowable deflection according to BS 8110 …

I have a wall tank to design, whose wall material are steel plate of 12mm.I have performed analysis but when it comes to design on assigning design property there is no option to assign parameter on plates only beam, i need a help on this
