  • How do you access variables in beam templates?

    I need to vary the width of the top flange of a Super-T girder (Australian) to follow the curved edge of a bridge deck. I can add variables to the points on the beam template but can't see how to access them/set them when the beam is used in a beam group…

  • STAAD Advanced Concrete design: text schedule font problem

    Good day, people! I just wanted to ask re: printing of text schedule in STAAD RCDC. When I print the text schedule, I can't read the reinforcement details because they're all in symbols. How do I fix this? Thank you in advance!!!

  • Primary and Secondary beams Intersection vs merge

    Hello Everyone Which is better to intersect the primary beam and secondary beam (Figure1), or Merge the primary beam to be one (Figure2)?

  • 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?

  • Can I Reduce Development length of bars in the beam by using RCDC

    Hello Everyone How can I reduce the development length bars in the beam (Figure 1-1), I'm running to get a result like this beam (figure 2-1) Figure 1-1 Figure 2-1

  • how to get the loadings details in report????

    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?

  • How to solve Detailing failure of Beam in Staad RCDC?

    I am working of a factory building, area of (119578*46422) sq.mm . Its holding Live Load of 130 psf . Columns 20 Nos. in long & 8 Nos.in short direction Dead Load is of Main wall(0.8353 ksf)+Partition wall(0.363 ksf)+Floor Finish(0.03 ksf)+Self…

  • LEAP Bridge - Precast/Prestressed Girder - 10th points

    Hello, Camber and deflections are reported at 10th points along the beam. I am modelling a longer span which will require more than 10 screed points. Is there a way to toggle the number of points? Or do I have to interpolate? Thanks,

  • Does STAAD design for CONCRETE SPECIAL MOMENT FRAME as per ACI 318M-11 ??

    Hi, 1. Does STAAD take into account the ductile detailing provisions of CHAPTER 21 of ACI 318M-11, while arriving at the reinforcement area and stirrup area ?? 3. If those provisions are available, how does STAAD identify a SMRF or IMRF or OMRF in…

  • RE: Monolithic Concrete Slab/Beam Connection Modeling

    Typically this does not affect the analysis in a significant manner. The weight of the portion of the slab that is accounted for twice, is not much and if you want to, you can apply a uniformly distributed load in the upward direction on the beam and…

  • RE: RAM Concrete Beam - Effective Depth used for Deflection Calculations when Reinforcing Continuous at Beam Depth Change

    Your images did not come through, but if I understand correctly, you have two consecutive spans that are different depth beams with continuous top bars across the support, but the d value used in the deflection checks is less than expected. Splicing…

  • Fabric sheeting on top of a structure

    Hi, I'm modeling a structure that consists of a series of concrete columns spreaded on the perimeter of a rectangular shape building, and attached to a channel concrete caps that running on top of perimeter columns, then the channel beam is connected…
