Does STAAD design for CONCRETE SPECIAL MOMENT FRAME as per ACI 318M-11 ??

Sanjay Kumar

Hi, 1. Does STAAD take into account the ductile detailing provisions of CHAPTER 21 of ACI 318M-11, while arriving at the reinforcement area and stirrup area ?? 3. If those provisions are available, how does STAAD identify a SMRF or IMRF or OMRF in…

RE: Ram Elements concrete wall slenderness

Karl G

Regretfully, wall slenderness is not included in the concrete wall module. As you have noted, the tilt-up wall module is intended for slender wall design. More on this topic can be found on the web page below: http://communities.bentley.com/products…

RE: Does RAM Concrete check for ACI 21.13: Members not designated as part of the SFR system

Karl G

See Section 4.8.4 in the RAM Concrete Column Manual for the sections of 21.13 that are implemented in the program. Induced moments and shears are not calculated by the program, so the program follows ACI 318-11 21.13.4 and not 21.13.2 or 21.13.3 when…
