• Shear Wall Building

    Dear All, I am designing a RCC 7 Storey apartment building in which all the slabs are supported on shear walls only using staad pro. There are no columns and beams. Can any one upload a input file of similar building based on Indian codes codes. My…
  • Applying floor loads to displace the location of the CG?

    Hi, I am modelling a steel structure for which the weight and center of gravity are known. The objective is to check the reactions on the supports and to verify the overall structural integrity. I have finished the model now, I used a factor on the…

    I know this is an older post, but if you have not gotten an answer already, check our Load Generation FAQ here: and reply back if you still have a problem (& include your model input file if possible)
  • One way distribution floor load on composite deck

    Hi, Hopefully this should be a quick one as I'm new to Staad. I've created a composite deck and defined the span direction. I'm now trying to define a floor load but it won't let me define a direction for one way distribution for the load on the composite…
  • RE: Wind load on surface meshing

    You'll find lots of similar posts on this forum. Just search for " composite beam plate ", for example. I generally don't like to use plates for the sole purpose of transferring loads, because the plates and the beams will interact compositely and even…
  • Generation and Assignment of Floor Load/ Weight

    Dear Gents, While generating the Seismic Load, the floor load applied on beams could not be seen in the input file but only reads as under; Floor Weight Yrange 0 9 Fload 6.5 (Please refer to my attached staad file) Under the above line…
  • Defining seismic mass (weight) of area/floor loads. IBC 2006

    Hi I am using IBC2006 on a project and have a newbie question I have defined the seismic parameters and converted the nodal and member loads into *weights* to go with the selfweight that I need to. So how do I convert my floor/area loads into *weights…
  • Composite Beam Deflection Query

    I am designing a composite floor system as my first project in RAM. As I was looking at the composite beam deflections and checking them to make sure I understood and agreed, it seemed that the Post-Composite Beam Deflections for a S-S beam with a UDL…
