  • MOMENT DISTRIBUTION IN STAAD Pro FOR PARTIALLY RELEASED BEAMS

    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…
