  • 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…

  • Cracked Section Factors in RAM Modeler

    Hi all, this post is almost entirely directed at the Bentley folks, because I want to make sure that RAM SS has been updated to take into account the cracked section factor on slabs as I would assume. From previous emails with Bentley I was informed that…

  • Application of grating dead load on Structure without considering its stiffness.

    Hi, I'm currently working on a model that requires grating on work platforms. For that purpose, I've calculated the equivalent density of the grating applied to a 1mm plate. The reason to have it in 1mm plates is because I only want the effect…

  • Model dome in StaadPro
