• Staircase Analysis

    Good Day, I have modeled a staircase in Staad using beam and plate elements, but I am unsure about the suitability of the model. My main issue I have relating to the model is whether or not the analysis results obtained for the columns are accurate…
  • Special Moment frame Stair case

    Good Day, I am currently modelling a staircase supported by a moment frame and I have come across a strange occurrence. When I checked my column forces the axial forces seemed alright but the moments were strange as the moments generated along the…
  • Shear wall boundary edge

    Good Day, I have analyzed and designed a shear wall following the ACI code in Staad and would like to clarify some results.. The shear wall design has reported Edge reinforcement, however the length of this edge or boundary zone has not been reported…
  • Water tank Design

    Good Day Everyone, I wish to analyze and design an underground cistern (tank) using STAAD Pro. However, I would like some advice as it relates to the supporting conditions for the base plate. Based on my idealization I used plate meshes to form my surrounding…
  • Structural steel and reinforced concrete combined

    Hi Everyone, Is it possible to get accurate analysis results from a model containing both reinforced concrete frames and structural steel frames. I am currently modelling a structure that has a reinforced concrete ground floor and a structural steel…

  • STAAD.Pro Running Live Load on a Plate error

    Slab Design 2 Deck Analysis 2.std Good Morning, I am designing grade beams (in the transverse direction) with a plate on top (acting as the deck). I have generated moving loads to go across the beams. When I look at the output files, the bending moments…
  • STAAD.Pro V8i Concrete Slab & Grade Beam Design

    I am currently designing a deck slab, supported on grade beams (pile caps), on piles. I have created my beams, set the properties, and put a plate on top to act as the deck. My supports are the locations of the piles. I am having trouble obtaining the…
  • Composite design question?

    Hi all, I am doing a composite beam design right now. STAAD has some specific function to simulate the composite beam section. But when we do the 3D analysis design, if we put the concrete plate on the floor steel beam directly, should we still use…
