  • 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?
  • contours of comressive stress

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