• Does RAM use the pile self weight to reduce tension forces in the pile?

    In the foundation module, does RAM use the pile self weight to reduce tension forces in the pile? My thought is no, because there is no place to enter the pile length. Thanks, Brian
  • Does RAM use the pile cap self weight to reduce tension forces in piles?

    In the foundation module, does RAM use the pile cap self weight to reduce tension forces in piles? I do not see a check box for it the way there is one to include self weight for spread footings. Thanks, Brian
  • Lateral load pile design theory

    Hi, I have some question about the pile under lateral loads. 1.- I was tried to review the design theory for lateral loaded piles, but the documentation contain a web link which it is not active. 2.- I tried to search the document at the…
  • TROUBLE WHILE CHANGING CONCRETE PILE LINK´S DIAMETER - STAAD RCDC

    Hello, I am having trouble while trying to change the diameter of the concrete pile links that appear by default after running the RCDC program. As seen in the image below, for the given stresses, the program suggests that I use # 19 with a spacing of…
  • How to define spring constant of a pile for design of a pile foundation?

    Dear Sir, I am designing a pile foundation in staad using the plate modeling and defining the pile supports as springs. How should i calculate the spring constant. My vertical pile capacity is 150MT and allowable deflection of pile head is 12mm. Is…
  • 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: Mat Foundation Issue

    I am new to STAAD Foundation and am having a similar issue. My project is to put a new building on a new mat foundation which is supported by existing (unevenly spaced) piles. I want to import my building model from STADD.pro into Foundation and see how…
