How to model, analyze, and design this reinforced concrete cantilever beam using Staad Pro?

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…

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?

I have an assignment to submit and it about modeling gravity dam and analysis, how to get mesh sensitivity analysis, and how to obtain the contours of compressive, tensile, and shear stresses as well as displacements. Adopt a suitable elastic-linear constitutive…

How does Moment distribution and release for beams work in STAAD Pro ? While designing Secondary Beams, I’m generally releasing the moments MX, MY, MZ to a 100% at their ends. If I keep the ends fixed, I get a hogging moment say ‘ X ’ kN-m at the…

How do I change Mton/Cm to Kn/m

Hello, Currently, I am using STAAD pro Connect edition's latest version. Following are question mainly targeting of RCC and Steel structure design in STAAD Pro and in other Bentley tools per Eurocode with German N ational Annex (NA). 1. Can…

I am analysing an RCC box girder for which some peculiar tapered sections have to be created. I created a tapered rectangular section in AutoCAD 2014. I used polyline to create the 2D and then extruded it to make it a solid 3D section. Now when I import…

I have got my report, but there is no loading details like dead load, Wind loads and all... In report settings i have added Loadings, but its not showing.... Wt to do???? i want to see other load details. How to get that details?

Hello! This is the first time I've tried to use solid elements to design in STAAD, and I'm finding them quite confusing. I'm trying to model a large vertical solid concrete support pier in water. I created my model using solids for the pier. The…

Hi all, i wish to know is there any command in STAAD to keep the sectional properties of staad in the required format? Kindly look at the attachment Thanks in advance

Let me first say I am no Staad expert...but I'm trying to learn. I have a wind frame that is concrete up to a certain height and steel up the roof. Is it possible to model this and analyze the combined frame all at once in Staad? If so could you please…

Hello, I need help with concrete design parameter FC for EC2 code. It's not clear - is it characteristic or design value? Is it characteristic cube strength Fck,cube from EN 1992-1-1?
