• Shear wall design erro

    Good Day Everyone, I have completed a staad model of a staircase, however I have been recieving the following error from the shear wall design results "FAILED:NO REBAR IS AVAILABLE FOR VERTICAL REINFORCEMENT". Does any one know why this would occur…
  • Shear wall design

    Hi Everyone, How does staad treat out of plane forces in the design of shear walls? As I've never seen Staad generate an interaction diagram for the design of these members. Which design methodology does staad employ in its shear wall designs?
  • Diaphragm modeling

    Hi everyone, 1.)How can I ensure that the moment results I obtain for my beams are accurate for a model which incorporates a plate element. I am currently modelling a staircase with the use of beam, plate and surface elements, however, the moments I…
  • Perpendicular shear wall footing

    Good day, How can I best model a footing that support perpendicular shear walls. In these cases the footing would intersect each other and would therefore share one common node. I have tried the GEN FIXED command with no errors but with the following…
  • Design of composite steel beams

    Good day, I have used Staad to model a composite slab and design the beams supporting this slab. However, upon completing the steel design in staad the design results presented are very strange. All the members passed, however the results only presented…
  • Dynamic eccentricity for earthquake loading

    Good Day, I have done a seismic analysis and noticed the following note: ***NOTE: SEISMIC LOAD IS ACTING AT CENTER OF MASS FOR RIGID DIAPHRAGM. TORSION FROM STATIC ECCENTRICITY (esi) IS INCLUDED IN ANALYSIS. DYNAMIC ECCENTRICITY APPLIED = DEC -…
  • 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…
  • Shear wall design

    Good Day fellow colleagues, I have tested two models to complete a shear wall design using staad pro. In one model I included only the shear walls, beams and columns and in the other model I included all of the above mentions elements plus the slab…
  • Web Tapered Members - Plate wise estimate

    Dear Sir/Madam, I have designed a Frame using web tapered members in STAAD Pro. The frame weight shows the weight of different beams members used. For example, the frame is having a member whose dimensions are Web- 250 to 750 mm Web thickness…
  • Exporting .DXF from STAAD

    I have two issues: -I tried to export .dxf from STAAD and saved that file, but when tying to open it with AutoCAD 2006/2015 nothing was shown on screen and even like nothing was exported. Do Ihave to select members or do some previous step before? - Is…
