• Staad.PRO Seismic Response Spectrum (CQC)

    Hi. I am working on a steel structure and i have some issues with the seismic loads. That are the flexure MZ diagrams for the pure seismic load case in X direction (longitudinal). It caught my attention the results for the beam element marked in…
  • Static seismic loading as per Eurocode

    Currently, STAAD.Pro only has options for generating Response spectra loads as per Eurocode. Users have requested to implement Eurocode for Static seismic cases as well.
  • Seismic Load Generator

    I am using the seismic load generator for the first time. Can you please verify that I have applied it correctly? This is a viaduct with a long through-truss span. CRT ped LL straight PRATT TRUSS w MBTA ELEV.std
  • Vertical component of seismic load - NBCC

    Dear All, I am trying to consider vertical component of seismic load using National building code of Canada NBCC. I assume 70% of acceleration is vertical direction (see below), but I am getting errors. I would appreciate if you tell me where is the…
  • Does STAAD consider 1% Seismic force for SDC A structure?

    for Seismic design category A structure, 10% of story dead load is required to consider (refer 11.7.2 of ASCE7-05). Does STAAD apply 1% of story dead load as Seismic load or it will calculate as per prescribed procedure based on chapter 12~15 of ASCE7…
  • AISC PARAMETER BHETA FOR SEISMIC DESIGN

    Hi, I have a doubt in STAADP.ro CE about how can I implement the factor Bheta 1 and Bheta 2 in Steel Design (Appendix 8 AISC 360-16). I know that it possible to perform P-Delta Analysis, but for seismic design with modal analysis/response spectra, I…
  • Staad Base reactions are differing

    Hi, I am facing a problem with reference to the Staad pro v9i SS6. Please help in solving the same if its a known bug or a workaround is available. I have imported the load data for seismic in all 6 directions (+/-X,+/-Y, +/-Z ) This is a Z up model…
  • seismic loading

    I have a problem, my country code is not included in Staad. But I have calculated the lateral forces (Inertial) separately with excel, now How could put these forces in the center of mass of each floor in my model to generate the model seismic static…
  • Featured LEARN Course: Performing a Seismic Response History Analysis

    Take advantage of STAAD.Pro’s ability for “ Performing a Seismic Response History Analysis ” according to ASCE 7, Section 16. The complete workflow to ensure the analysis is in compliance with the code requirements will include the following: Creating…
  • Seismic simulation

    Hello, I am new to STAAD Pro and am pursuing a project on seismic design. I want to know whether I can have a simulation of the seismic design that I have created in STAAD Pro. The version is v8i. Moreover, I would like to know if STAAD Pro can help…
