• Composite beam with 2 deck types

    Hi, I am modelling a beam with a change of deck along the length of the beam (half of the beam has a W2+3.5" verco deck, and the other half has a W2+2" deck). I read this response: Effects of Changing Deck Type - RAM | STAAD | ADINA Wiki - RAM | STAAD…
  • hello guys can anyone answer me for this point, what's different between specification beam (Release) and normal beam of the structure? the specification beam (release) will remove ?
