• Floor Diaphragm with Temperature load

    Hi, In my multi level steel Structure I'm experiencing more axial loads when I define Floor diaphragm with temperature loads as there are Precast concrete slab are there on my floors. If I'm ignoring Floor diaphragm action on floors, displacement was…

  • How does RAM element perform temperature analysis on a steel building?

    How does RAM element perform temperature analysis on a steel building? I have a steel building and i need to analyse to analyse the building for a change of 32deg F. My lateral system for the building is BRB's, so I need to check if my temperature deflections…

  • TEMPERATURE LOAD

    HI ALL, I HAVE JUST NOW CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THE TEMPERATURE LOADING CALCULATIONS, CAN ANYONE CLARIFY ME, IS IT RIGHT TO APPLY THE LOAD ALL OVER THE STRUCTURE BECAUSE I FOUND A STAAD MODEL, IN WHICH THEY HAVE APPLIED THE LOAD ONLY ON ROOF AND…

  • Combination with temperature load producing unexpected results

    Hello community once again, I am performing design of steel structure involving Live, seismic, wind, snow & thermal loads (uniform temp difference both +ve & -ve). When I run analysis without the temperature load in combination, it results into unity…

  • RE: Temperature load in STAAD

    Temperature loads can only be applied on beams, plates and solids but not on surface elements.

  • RE: Temperature load in STAAD (Thermal load of steel )

    You can also refer the following post where the same is discussed:- http://communities.bentley.com/products/structural/structural_analysis___design/f/5932/t/86174 Thank you.

  • RE: Temperature load on Plate

    Yes it is correct to specify f1 as the operating temp - ambient temp but that would mean a uniform volume expansion for the plate. Unless there is a difference in temperature between the top surface and bottom surface of the plate, it cannot bend. For…

  • RE: Brief the Temperature load in Staad input

    If my understanding of your data is correct, you should be specifying the temperature change for axial elongation or the f1 term ( refer to the technical reference manual section 5.32.6 ) as 47 degrees. For a general explanation of the temperature terms…
