• Shear Capacity of PT Slab Zero

    I have modeled a PT Slab and after running the calculations the Design Status shows shear failure at three strips right next to walls. When I looked at the shear capacity of those strips, I noticed that it has values of zero at mid span for the three…
  • STAAD Foundation Punching Shear - Fail. Mat Slab Design

    Hello, I have exported the load cases from a STAAD model to a foundation model in a previous version CE.09.03.0014, then I have an update of the software to version V9.5.0.62. With the previous version I got the following values for punching shear checking…
  • RCDC; Failed Column Design (even with big dimension on redesign)

    Basak Framing V4.rar Hi, Attached herein is my analysis of a 2-Storey House in Staad Pro; the problem is that when i used this file in RCDC 6.3 to design Column, the result is all failed. It seems like the program wants me to increase the dimension…
  • PT Beam Shear Capacity

    Hi there, I'm designing a one-way slab supported by PT beams. When I audited the cross section that fails in shear, I noticed something strange about the shear demand and capacity. Why is one section failing in shear but not the other? Shouldn…
  • RE: Geometry

    Hi Sai, It is clear from above mentioned warnings that nominal shear exceeds the maximum limit and according to Clause 40.2.3 which is attached here: From the designing point of view, maximum shear stress (tauc_max) depends only on the grade of…
