Hello, I have a basic structural engineering question and would be really great if someone can help me understand this. So I have a rooftop platform with stairs. I have 2 posts below 2 stair stringers and the posts are sitting on 2 channels. My understanding…

We are facing the following warning in designed steel structure as per IS 800:2007(WSD). ***WARNING: THE VALUE OF MOMENT AMPLIFICATION FACTORS KY OR KZ IS GREATER THAN 1.4" Kindly suggest the removal process.

I am analysing an RCC box girder for which some peculiar tapered sections have to be created. I created a tapered rectangular section in AutoCAD 2014. I used polyline to create the 2D and then extruded it to make it a solid 3D section. Now when I import…

I have got my report, but there is no loading details like dead load, Wind loads and all... In report settings i have added Loadings, but its not showing.... Wt to do???? i want to see other load details. How to get that details?

Dear All, I want to ask about the vibration of machine. As far as I know, we need to input as sine function. Am I right? I assumed the weight of machine is 110 kN and assumed that 10% of weight will be placed as the vibration. I use…

When running the STAAD, the result shows everything is right,. Structure is stable, no warning. Displacements are limited. BUT, I get some funny numbers for rotational displacement e.g. 533 degree & sometimes more. I checked releases. I believe they…

I'm new to staad and have a simple modeling question. I'm trying to model a two-way concrete slab and beam system. I have the slab elements and beams defined, but when I view in 3-d, it appears that everything is being modeled from the centerline of the…

Section 5.20.3 states that "f 1 (Depth of section at start node) should always be greater than f 3 (Depth of section at end node)." In the model I am working in, it makes more sense for me to define my members from left to right which results in some…

Hello As part of my project I had been going through some examples as shown on the verification manual of Staad Pro v8i and version 2007. However, I been having issues with some of the examples as some do not show the full detail of calculation description…

Hello, I am new to STAAD Pro and am pursuing a project on seismic design. I want to know whether I can have a simulation of the seismic design that I have created in STAAD Pro. The version is v8i. Moreover, I would like to know if STAAD Pro can help…

Our company recently went from Risa to STAAD, is there any way to import a RISA 3D file into STAAD other than the DXF feature? The dxf only imports the geometry and I would like to get the properties. I know you can go the other way, from STAAD to Risa…
