• Intze Tank STAAD Model

    Hello, I am trying to model Intze Tank with Raft using STAAD Pro. I have applied dynamic earthquake load at a node representing C.G. of impulsive mass as per IS 1893 and provided master slave connection with impulsive mass C.G. and node of column…
  • how to model seesaw like structure in staad pro

    Hi all, I have to model as fixed concrete wall and above that want to place a steel member without any fixing and if place a point load on one end need to check deflection in steel member and concrete stress in wall.. how to model this plz help me engineers…
  • Primary and Secondary beams Intersection vs merge

    Hello Everyone Which is better to intersect the primary beam and secondary beam (Figure1), or Merge the primary beam to be one (Figure2)?
  • Design of Solid slab (Conventional slabs)

    Hello Everyone For a while, I was using an Advanced Concrete Design (RCDC) for the design of a solid slab. Today I tried to learn the RAM concept for the slab designs but I saw a design of strips that had never seen before (When I was using RCDC and…
  • Dummy beam

    Hello Everyone. I create a dummy beam with density=0 and E=0 (Figure.1) then I assign the beam (Figure.2) then Staad Error occurs( ***ERROR*** MATERIAL NAME MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY BLANK SPACE )(Figure.3), What is the solution?
  • Modelling of slab supporting on piles

    Hi guys, I am modelling a slab supported on piles, the piles are actually tension piles to support upheave beneath the slab. I model the slab using plate elements and use vertical restraint node support at where the piles are located. The issue I…
  • How to simulate a building collapse on a staad pro structural design sofware.

    Please, i need your help, pls how can i simulate a building collapse on STAAD pro software, i am currently investigating the collapse mechanism of a structure and i am finding it difficult to simulate the progressive collapse using STAAD sofware, thank…
  • Resisting beam torsion with only shear connections - modeling

    I have a tube with a torque on it. I'd like to resist this torsion through beam framing into each side (perpendicular to the main beam with the torsion on it). However, the connection will only transfer shear forces. What are my options for modelling…
  • Crashing of staad while using beta angle

    Staad crashes while assigning beta angle. Beta angles gets deleted after reopening the staad file.

  • Tension Only member with initial axial capacity

    Hello to all, In reality horizontal braces (or vertical brace, beam, etc) that is design for tension only resist "some" axial compression capacity. Is there a way that this axial compression capacity can be input in STAAD? For example, a horizontal…
