• Input Support Stiffness and Damping

    Is there a way to input pile (node) stiffness and damping in Staad for a time history analysis? That means inputting support stiffness and damping values for all 6 degrees of freedom (translation and rotation)

  • RE: material constant "damp" for steel

    Damping would not affect the static analysis results. For frequency calculation, STAAD.Pro calculates the free vibration un-damped natural frequencies. That is not affected by the material damping. The effect of damping would only be seen in a dynamic…

  • RE: damping

    Structural response to wind is generally elastic and so I think you are fine considering 1% damping ( damping factor 0.01 ) for wind analysis.

  • STAAD Response Spectrum Questions

    Hi, I am curious about a couple of things on the way STAAD handles response spectrum analysis, and below are my questions. I would be very glad if you can provide me some answers . I'm using build 20.07.05.15, by the way. Due to the client…
