• Modeling of Stiff Pier Shaft

    Dear Respected colleagues, as you can see from the attached images, i need help in modeling the true behavior of my pier system as shown in the 3D view. Since one pier is very stiff in transverse direction, there should be no deflection of any sorts but…

  • RE: RSS Pier Foundation

    We have pile caps, but not single pier foundations in the program. You can use any single foundation (spread footing or pile cap) to obtain critical combined foundation loads for a hand check of the pile if that's any use. There is a long standing enhancement…

  • RE: How to model bridge piers using STAAD

    If you are comfortable with solid elements then this seems like a good case to use them (the depth of the members approximates the length). Using tapered members for the flanges of the T and a stick model like the image would be simpler, however.
