Hi Everyone, How does staad treat out of plane forces in the design of shear walls? As I've never seen Staad generate an interaction diagram for the design of these members. Which design methodology does staad employ in its shear wall designs?

Good day, How can I best model a footing that support perpendicular shear walls. In these cases the footing would intersect each other and would therefore share one common node. I have tried the GEN FIXED command with no errors but with the following…

Good day, I would like to find out how best can the supports for a shear wall be modeled. Considering the footing under a shear wall is continuous, placing fixed footing at the ends of the wall would suggest that the wall is only supported at these…

Good day, I have used Staad to model a composite slab and design the beams supporting this slab. However, upon completing the steel design in staad the design results presented are very strange. All the members passed, however the results only presented…

Good Day, I am currently modelling a staircase supported by a moment frame and I have come across a strange occurrence. When I checked my column forces the axial forces seemed alright but the moments were strange as the moments generated along the…

Hi Everyone, Is it possible to get accurate analysis results from a model containing both reinforced concrete frames and structural steel frames. I am currently modelling a structure that has a reinforced concrete ground floor and a structural steel…
