• 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?
  • How to create a cantilever slab by using the Physical modeler?

    How to create a cantilever slab without beams in the Physical modeler in STAAD connect edition?
  • Method of Foundation Design using FEM

    Hi everyone, I have a created a STAAD Model wherein Foundation is modelled a Plates. If you open the attachment, Foundation are combined and others are eccentric. My question are these: 1. Is this method OK. We don;'t have license for staad foundation…
  • 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…
  • PLATE ELEMENT MODELLING

    im doing a mat foundation design and use plate elements in my model. at first i did the plate elements in MIDAS because its much easier for me to model the plates there.so i printed out the nodes and plates from MIDAS and paste it in staad editor. …
  • Tension force in a tank wall

    I have modelled a rectangular concrete tank in STAAD using plate elements and need to do some additional calculations to check the crack widths do not exceed a given value. I can get a contour plot of the bending moments in the walls but when the tank…
