I believe the following Forum discussion should answer your question: Main and Secondary Reinforcement in one-way slab - RAM | STAAD Forum - RAM | STAAD - Bentley Communities

Correct. LONG reinforcement does not mean MAIN reinforcement. It should be rather viewed as reinforcement parallel to element local X. For example in your case, LONG reinforcement will be the secondary reinforcement and the TRANS reinforcement which is…

I am not sure if I understand your question. You can see what loads are applied on the members by using the PERFORM ANALYSIS PRINT LOAD DATA. This information will be reported in the Output file. However, this information is reported for each Load Case…

Center line modeling approach is used in STAAD.Pro, so it is expected that beam tops are not flush if their heights are different. You may use the offset command to make the tops flush. Most of the users use a centerline approach while modeling to keep…

If you do not mesh the slab, any load acting on the slab will bypass the beams and go directly into the column. So, the slab load will not induce any bending in the beams. That slab load will not induce any bending in the slab either. In the stiffness…
