• Class 4 Steel Section Capacities Eurocode

    Does anyone know how STAAD derive the following for a Class 4 section? - Minor axis bending moment capacity: if by multiplying elastic modulus with design strength, the moment capacity would be much higher than the computed values shown in STAAD output…
  • Base Plate Thickness Result Issue in RAM

    Hi There, I designed some columns in Ram SS for a particular model. However, the software has specified a baseplate thickness of about 1500mm even though the ultimate load on the base plate summed up to about 109kN. Is there something I might be missing…
  • RAM SS Cantilever Beam - Column Moments

    Is there a way to confirm the loads that are imparted from a stub cantilever gravity beam into its supporting column, and can we confirm that this is what RAM does in the steel column design module? My office was reviewing a couple of cantilevers off…
  • Design of Steel Columns and Frames using RAM Frame loads

    I have used the concrete functions in RAM SS for lateral design, I know that the columns designated as 'Lateral' will use the RAM Frame loads for design (when checked off) for design checks. I am now using RAM SS for a steel structure, and noticed notes…
  • I want to use RCC floor slab effect on the steel structure of an industrial building. Shall I use master slave command or shall I use floor diaphram command?

    steel quantities especially column size get reduce while considering the rigidity of RCC floor into account. what shall be right approach to consider its effect.
  • why is staad selecting me large steel section for me

    Good day my fellow staad users. I am currently designing a steel portal on staad pro. i noticed that when i use the select command, it selects larger section than when i use my hand to design it myself.using BS 5950 2000 for example rafter size manual…
  • Problem modelling plates on top of beams for elevated steel water tank

    I am trying to model a Elevated steel water tank with bracing for analysis in STAAD.Pro. While modelling the structure I've encountered a problem and would like your help. The problem is: While the beam offset works perfectly for modelling a beam…
  • mast tower staad.pro v8i

    pl lead me to STAAD PROBLEM EXAMPLE for a mast. Been to a STAAD training & seen an example problem in the handout, but no leads to it. i WOULIKE LIKE TO RUN THAT MODEL & LEARN ITS STRUCTURAL ANALY. & steel DESIGN TO Eurocode checks
  • Steel Columns fail in unity check

    Hey guys, could anyone tell me how did staad generate its unity ratio check (BS5950-2000) ? it states that Normalized ratio = actual / allowable , where can i get these figures in my output file ?
