Hi all, Is there any way to assign moment force in the plate? I'm currently designing the grade slab for equipment. I simplify the moment occur by the equipment as a percentage of equipment weight. But, I cant find the tools to input moment in the plate…

Found drastic difference in moments of rcc beams with a plate modeled as brick wall partition wall in rcc frame structure...Moments are very low on beam and column... why it happens? Is it due to stiffness of plate , And what is the correct way to model…

STAAD Pro outputs plate corner forces in the units lb-in/in or kip-ft/ft, basically moment per unit length in the local coordinate system of the plate elements. So, do I need to multiply the Mx and My at the corners by the plate dimensions parallel to…
