• Direct Analysis Method

    Hi! I am new with Direct Analysis Method so I decided to run an example of a frame we saw in class with Staad Pro. The example in class was developed by a linear first order analysis with increased moments factors B1 and B2. Unfortunately, after running…
  • ¿How to change units in the Steel Design Detail output?

    Hi, I'm using Staad.Pro V8i (SELECTseries 4) and I would like to get the data of the "Steel Design Detail" output Report in kN METER units (not KIP FEET). It maybe in any track type. I'd appreciate your help with that. It's just something I have tried…
  • Response Spectrum Analysis

    Dear Sir, We have a model where the units is set to Mton and cm . Our questions are; a.) Do we have to convert accleration scale factor to 9.805*100? b.) Do we have to convert the Period Vs accleration curve *100? ( Max 0.18, so 0.18*100?) C.…

  • Re: Big mistake in the updated steel design code AISC 360-10 in STAAD pro v8i SS4

    I've just posted a PDF file containing verfication problems for STAAD.Pro V8i (SELECTseries 4) build 20.07.09.20 take from several design examples found in the AISC Design Examples . These are some common examples, including a non-slender, double-angle…
  • Re: Big mistake in the updated steel design code AISC 360-10 in STAAD pro v8i SS4

    OK, I've looked at this closer. As I guessed it appears that STAAD is not computing flexural-torsional buckling capacity correctly for double angles. To make things a little easier I used 2L6x6x1/2 so that we would not have to contend with slender elements…
  • Re: AISC 316-10

    There is a design parameter called METHOD which allows you to select the ASD or LRFD method. By default, the LRFD method is being used by STAAD.Pro. If you want to use the ASD method, then design parameter METHOD ASD should be inserted: ... PARAMETER…
  • Re: SELECT ALL for AISC 14th Ed.

    The introduction of the new version of the AISC 360 code represents an important step in the development of STAAD design codes. One of the main requests we have had over the years is to provide more detail of the design rather than the brief summary of…
