Plate Girder Taper

Hello, Is it possible to model a plate girder where the bottom tapers at the end of the beam while the top stays level? See below picture for reference

RE: Staadpro SS4 and SS6 ratio result are different
Sye
I analyzed the file and I can see the design ratios being reported for the beams ( see screenshot below ) . Which version of STAAD.Pro SS6 are you using ? I am using the latest 20.07.11.90. There has been quite a few improvements/changes made to the…

RE: I am trying to model a gable frame steel warehouse having tapered columns and rafters , now when I am modelling the purlins the rafter is getting split and the tapered rafter is getting split up into individual tapered members, how can I resolve ...
Sye
The rafters would have to be split at the location of the purlins for proper connectivity and load transfer. So before you assign your tapered cross sections, it would be better to generate the wireframe model so that you know where these rafters are…

RE: Design connection in STAAD.Pro for Built up member
Sye
As of now MEP connections for tapered sections cannot be applied using the RAM Connection interface within STAAD.Pro. An enhancement request ( 474706 ) has been posted so that this can be incorporated in future versions. Some of these connections (mostly…

RE: Ram connection - Tapered section
Seth Guthrie
You are correct, we don't support tapered or built-up members in the Connection design within STAAD.pro at this time. You can do some connections of this time (mostly the MEP type) using Ram Connection Stand-Alone (or Ram Connection + Ram Elements). …

RE: Modelling of steel beams with variable depth
Sye
You can do that by applying a member offset to the start of the member. As you know for a tapered beam, the higher depth should be assigned to the start of the member. So all you need to do is, find out by how much the cg of the cross section at the start…

RE: Can you design a Tapered reinforced concrete beam in RAM Structural Analysis
Seth Guthrie
No, in RAM Structural System members can't be tapered. We have tapered members in Ram Elements and STAAD.pro, but we only really design those in steel (analysis of tapered concrete members works fine). STAAD.pro is another option. ProConcrete does a…

RE: Tapered Reinforced Concrete Beam
Sye
Yes if you input the same value for F2, F4 and F6 as equal to the width of your rectangular section and specify the F1 and F3 appropriately for the varying depth, you would be able to model a rectangular tapered member. When you are specifying a member…

Tapered trapezoidal section
dhruv14385
I need to know how can I model tapered trapezoidal section. For example, I need to model a column of 5m with bottom cross section 1.2m x 1.6m and top one 2.4m x 3.2m. Appreciate your help in advance. Thanks.
