Steps for Completing a PT Optimization
Step 1 – Model design strips and punching shear checks
This step is required to produce designs in any RAM…
Dear Communities,
Greetings!
Find the attached updated model with a wide plate beam at a particular location (WPB 700x300x300.1 ). Also find the updated list of the section used in the model for your reference.

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?
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…
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)

Hello, I´m designing two small guardhouses in STAAD.Pro V8i SS5, both are RC structures with slab foundations, they are almost equal in principal geometry, loading and sections, the only thing that changes considerably from one model to the other is the…
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).

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?
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…
In the latest STAAD connect edition, why does the concrete design tab not show up in the properties of any selected beam although I have assigned concrete design command? It's easier to see the number and sizes of bars required rather than reading the…
Dear sir,
I was getting error as WARNING:Section fails while designing section: 0.0 mm.
please guide what I done wrong in model or Loading application.

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…

Hi Mast,
ACI 318 - 11 section 8.7 provides some vague guidance for you. ACI 318-14 (public draft available early in May) provides some more details on analysis, but probably still won't answer your question.
In these cases, you need to think about…
