• how to get the loadings details in report????

    I have got my report, but there is no loading details like dead load, Wind loads and all... In report settings i have added Loadings, but its not showing.... Wt to do???? i want to see other load details. How to get that details?
  • STAAD - simple beam - excessive deflection

    I am playing around with a simple beam analysis in STAAD (version 20.07.11.82) with only member dead load case (1.0 gravity load factor). I initially had it modeled as a 2-member beam fixed at a midspan joint. Then I changed it to a single member. The…
  • Deflection Along Length of Member

    Is there any way to extract/view the post composite deflections along the length of the member? Right now you can view the DL, LL, and total deflections from the "Diagrams" option in the Steel Beam Module or the maximum deflections via the "View Results…
  • Issues with the DFF command.

    Dear Community I'm having some issues with DFF comand. I'm using version 20.07.11.45 I'm designing a basic frame (5m) span for a pipe support and when i use the DFF command for checking the deflection there are some issues that i'd like to address…
  • Deflection animation

    I am just a learner ... so in a long span rcc beam abt 12m there was no deflection in animation but as I placed a cross beam over long beam at center , major deflection is now showing in animation . Is it due to the long beam splitted in two segments…
  • Similar files with different deflections

    Hello, I am designing shop prefabricated structure for lifting / transport / handling. I have 2 files / cases with similar configuration and weight / loads applied. But still I find the deflection for both of them differ by 80% margin. I am uploading…
  • Deflection Checking - Canadian Code - Serviceability Envelope

    I am hoping to use STAAD for beam design for a run of simple span beams with dead and live loads. I currently can not get the program to stop designing for deflection based on factored loads. I was strength design based on envelope 2 and deflections…
  • max moments and deflection

    Good day, I am new in staad, can someone help me with my question? my question is how to get the maximum moments and deflection of each beams in staad? what load cases to be consider? I am planning to design beams manually and I am planning to get the…
  • Regarding deflection limitations in RCC design

    How can we restrict the deflection of beam in RCC design, Just as we can limit the deflection in steel design by giving parameter DFF ???
  • To view the strip-based long term deflection for AS3600

    No, camber is always selected by the program based on the deflections and camber criteria. RAM SS - Steel Beam Deflection and Camber
  • RE: Deflection of a concrete beam as per ACI

    No it does not use the effective moment of inertia. For the analysis, it uses the gross moment of inertia multiplied by any reduction factors that the user may specify through the Property Reduction Factors. Users of course can directly specify moment…

    In addition to what vivekshine mentioned above, here is another place to check the deflections in z
  • RE: A pinned-pinned column deflection

    Most likely you applied pinned support at the top node in which case, the downward deflection of the top node would be prevented and the load would directly go to the top support. You may use FIXED BUT FY support at the top node so that the top node can…
  • RE: Deflection check result interpretation

    The LOC within the Deflection check refers to the location of the critical section for deflection. It is measured from the start of the member. The one under the heading “Loading/Location” refers to the location of the section which is critical for the…
  • RE: Design - Deflection Check / Print Maximum ratio

    If there are multiple design sets, the results for the last set is displayed in the Beam Unity check tables or when plotting the design ratios. More explanation on this and a couple of workarounds can be found in the following wiki http://communities…
  • RE: AISC 360 code check-strength and serviceability

    In recent versions of the software, there has been a change in the way the design is carried out for strength and serviceability as per the AISC 360 code. It requires definition of strength and serviceability load envelopes. The following wiki outlines…
  • RE: Deflection is not showing in output

    I see consistent results reported and both sections of design report a PASS as seen below. I think it is your version. Please update the software to the latest version ( 20.07.11.82 ) and it should take care of the issue.
  • RE: Deflection is not showing in output

    For the deflection checks to be carried out as per the AISC 360 codes, you need to define serviceability ( and strength ) envelopes before you do the design. Please refer to the following wiki for details on how to set up the design http://communities…
  • RC wall modelling in RAM Concept

    Hi there, I have some doubts modelling RC walls in the RAM Concept. Having the walls as shear wall which would restrain the slab improves the deflection in the slab, other properties are fixed near and compressible. I also have another opinion which…

  • Actual Deflection in STAAD Using Eurocode

    Hi. I obtained .663m as actual deflection in STAAD using Eurocode (EN1993-1-1:2005). When checked thru manual computation of deflection, result was different. I have 1.6kN/m^2 uniform load acting on UPN Channel with beam's length 4.1m. Does this…
  • RE: STADD.Pro V8i - Direct Analysis Method AISC 350-05 / 10

    The purpose of DIRECT ANALYSIS is to compute the member forces for strength design. For computing drifts, deflections you should use a PDELTA 15 ANALYSIS with the un-reduced stiffness and not a DIRECT ANALYSIS. Both analysis commands could be part of…
  • RE: Deflection check results in SS6

    The Limit : 0.656 refers to the allowable value ( in cm ) which should be obtained by dividing the Deflection Length (L) /360. As per your screenshot, it seems like your physical member is 6m long and so I would expect this value to be 600/360 = 1.67…
