Hello, I attach my Staad model for your attention. I am wondering why the plane I have cut does not give any values for Fx, Fy and Fxy? Also I cannot obtain a number of the outputs from the cutting plane such as global moment etc? I am looking…

After being disappointed to see 4 forecast delivery dates missed since December '17 I am really hoping STAAD(X).Tower is finally released. If not I am eager to receive a realistic and achievable delivery forecast from Bentley.

Has the planned STAAD(X).Tower Eurocode development been released? I had been advised it was due 31st March.

I am designing column splice joint of bearing type according to EN 1993-1-8 There exists net tension in the flange, hence I will have to use preloaded bolts & hence apply slip resistance check. 1) Now when i enable check slip resistance, i dont find…

Hello Seth, Is it possible to design a moment connection as attached below in RAM, Of course considering reactions and moments from both side beams (on flange and most imp on web of column)? Is it possible with Eurocode? Or we do it only for…

Hello Modestas, I am trying to design connection as per EC-3 and using European sections but RAM is showing error as below: Also tell me is it possible to design Column-Column bolted end plate flushed from all sides in STAAD. Where can I see the…

Hello forum, Is it possible to calculate stress to yield strength ratio in STAAD. Toughness selection according to eurocode requires stress range to be selected (0.75fy, 0.50fy, 0.25fy). Does STAAD assist for this. If it dont, i will have to check…

Does anyone know when the STAAD(X).Tower Eurocode development release date is? I was advised January 2018 on a previous post but I am now wondering what the specific date will be.

Hello forum, What is the term squash load , which appears in eurocode output file? Is it related to cross section classification? To check whether web is in compression or bending? OR Flange is in full compression or partial compression? Is…

I am doing a moment bolted connection design in RAM connection. The moment resistance capacity remains unchange and it shows failure even though i modify the bolting arrangement . I need to pass this in RAM instead of doing a manual checking which i feel…

Hello all, For any of you that might be interested to know how you can design complex connections that are not covered by the codes, you are more than welcome to follow our webinar tomorrow for IDEA StatiCa, a unique software that links with STAAD.Pro…

Hello, I have doubts in moment joint designed according to EN 1993-1-8. For moment joint beam connected to flange of column, how does the min limit for weld size is decided in weld section? there is no reference mentioned in front of this clause…

How can I create an automatic load combinations with Euro code? if not, who knows a code has the same combinations in Euro? staad can check with Euro code and can't generate load combinations with Euro ??!! Thanks in advance ..

Is it possible to define and design slip resistant connection in staad according to eurocode?

Hi. In STAAD, major axis is Z-Z and minor is Y-Y. However, in EC3, it's the other way around. With this, I wish to have confirmation and ask what are the significant parameters to consider about the difference in sign conventions when doing STAAD…

Hi. Does Select Beam-Brace Joints work in horizontal braces too? When I select it, it won't highlight the horizontal braces and the beams. Is it because there are no available connections for hor. brace in RAM Connection Module? When I tried the…

I'm trying to use RAM Concrete for shear wall design, however the bar templates whether manual or auto only appear to have US bar sizes not UK ones. This is of regardless of which design code is selected. For instance in the UK a 16mm dia bar is popular…

Hi I am designing unique steel structures for the offshore industry, mostly with box sections. In the old days we have used the Norvegian code check - NS3472, together with prismatic sections and everything worked fine. Today we must use EuroCode…

I am using a STAAD. pro select series 4.0 and want to design a steel beam using Euro code. In my structure, i am designing a simply supported beam with UDL. Beam is laterally tied by two perpendicular members in plan. Below are force values and design…

Hi all, I am assessing capacity of the signal gantry across railway tracks. This structures is basically a lattice type girder. I am designing it to Eurocode 1991-1-3. The rsult shows some of the members (top and bottom boom and a piece of column…
