Hi, I try to design a bin using the plate element. When I check the stress summary, Staadpro provided the max von mis stress (top and bottom) and max principal stress (top and bottom). My questions are: 1) The yield stress Fy of the material I used…

I have 3 issues with trying to use the GetResultantForceAlongLineForPlateList function that I suppose are probably the cause I can't retrieve yet the resultant forces along a line of cut plates thus any example, supplementary data or help would be truly…

Hi all, I am designing a underground concrete chamber which has pipe penetrations. I have modelled it using plate elements as shown below and used elastic mat with relevant subgrade modulus for support. The local Z is on the exterior face of the walls…

Hi, Can anyone help me interpret the result of analysis where I modelled group of plates to resist a certain Pipe Load. Loads are acted on Node 340 then Slaved to the point where the bolt of the U-type pipe support will be located. My question is…

Hello I am new to Staadpro and I modeled a slab (1.5m) using plate mesh (0.5m x 0.5m). How can I get Maximum and Minimum Moment (MX and My) for design? Should I take Max top stress (kN/m2) and multiply by (0.5m x 0.5m x 1.5m)? One of my senior Engr…

Good morning, I have to make question about STAAD Pro output plate stress ; in particular, I'm going to make a post processor excel file aimed to design concrete reinforcement of a slab according to ACI Code. Is It possible, for each shell, to obtain…

Hi, I created a STAAD file using Plates in STAAD and created an excel file for design. I would really appreciate if someone can check my procedure If this correct design. Especially using the stress in plates and design it in one-way and two-way…
