• 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?

  • Problem modelling plates on top of beams for elevated steel water tank

    I am trying to model a Elevated steel water tank with bracing for analysis in STAAD.Pro. While modelling the structure I've encountered a problem and would like your help. The problem is: While the beam offset works perfectly for modelling a beam…
  • RCDC basement wall and column plates

    So I modeled some project and I was curious to get things done faster by trying RCDC rather than just relying on STAAD for analysis and designing manually. I watched the Bentley institute training and started off to find a few frustrating surprises: …
  • Shear stresses of the plate per unit length

    Question: How to get a shear force per unit length for plate element in STAAD.Pro? Answer : Shear Stresses of the plate are reported in [Force/ unit length/ thickness] units in STAAD.Pro. In order to get shear force per unit length, one has to multiply…
