So, I attached two pictures, the hand drafted shows what I'm trying to achieve in STAAD. I'm not facing problem with the beams, those are already modeled, but how am I supposed to go about the plates at level 0.00? Note that only the beam in red has…

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?

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…

Good day I have modeled a structural steel frame building and analyzed it using the direct analysis method, however I have received a few warnings and I would like to know the relevant of these as well as their potential effect on my analysis results…

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…

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…
