• Design of Solid slab (Conventional slabs)

    Hello Everyone For a while, I was using an Advanced Concrete Design (RCDC) for the design of a solid slab. Today I tried to learn the RAM concept for the slab designs but I saw a design of strips that had never seen before (When I was using RCDC and…
  • Dummy beam

    Hello Everyone. I create a dummy beam with density=0 and E=0 (Figure.1) then I assign the beam (Figure.2) then Staad Error occurs( ***ERROR*** MATERIAL NAME MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY BLANK SPACE )(Figure.3), What is the solution?

  • How to model Connectivity between Raft Footing and Wall in Staad?

    Good Everybody, I am Modeling a Circular Digester tank of 318Million Litters per Day , I have a doubt how to model the connection between the wall and raft footing. this how I modeled the Raft is 600mm thk and the wall is 350mm thk, I have modeled…
  • How to model opening in rcc wall of water tank

    I am modeling a digester with a opening in the wall In the model plates near the opening (plate no: 8632,3026 and other plates around opening ) have abnormal Mx moments along the local x axis of the plate and also there directions are reversed is it…
  • No members loaded for a floor load generated

    I am modeling a digester tank , there is a walk above the dome resting on rcc wall, to transfer the slab dead load and live load i have created dummy elements over the walls and applied the dead load and live load as floor loads by grouping the beams…
  • Why is the Plate and beam moment sign does not change with pressure load direction?

    Good Day, I am just new to Staad Pro so Kindly explain to me in very preliminary way, This is simple Slab of 350mm thickness Supported by beam of 350x350mm on four sides supported by pinned supports an uniform pressure load of 100kN/m2 is applied…
