DEFLECTION CHECK OF RCC PLATES (RAMP)

  1. Iam designing a reinforced concrete ramp as a plate,the difficult iam facing is there is no BS 8110 in analytical design,and with the available BS 8007 i cant check deflection of the plate.
  • I assume you mean that you have modelled a ramp in a concrete structure as a mesh of plates and would like to see the effect of displacements on the ramp. A few people have suggested an enhancement  for STAAD.Pro which is to provide the displacement as a contour map. If this is what you are looking for, I would suggest you add this as an idea in the Ideas forum and get your colleagues to vte on it as we are always looking for the most popular requests to get added in future. For now you need to use values reported in the displacement table or create an OpenSTAAD macro to pull the displacement data you want for you checks.
