AISC 360-10, Chpt. J code checking
In STAAD.Pro, code checking for AISC 360-10 is typically for chapters B-H (I don't use chapter I for my work anyway). Specifically, there are considerations in Chapter J that must also be considered for use in Chpts. B-H. Using the highest TRACK 2 setting…
RE: Amplified first-order analysis
I am not seeing that warning in the steel output (for column 6 which I reviewed) using version 13.04.00.177. The technical notes we have related to column slenderness and are here if they help:
RAM Elements Unbraced Lengths

STAAD.Pro Direct Analysis Method Applying Notional Loads Correctly
Hello,
I am currently trying to compare the results in STAAD.Pro to an example provided by the AISC Guide 28 (Example 3.2). I am able to match the results of the axial load, but the moments in the beam-to-column and midspan of the beam are significantly…
Does RAM SBeam consider long term deflection
Hi there. I'm using RAM SBeam doing composite steel beam check. Comparing to the results I got from Tedds, it seems the Ieff, the effective moment inertia, shown in the RAM report is close to the equivalent moment in Tedds, which is before 0.75 applied…
structural steel truss design in staad
Good day Everyone,
I would like to use STAAD pro to design the connections for a structural steel truss, however I am having a little difficulty as it relates to selecting the correct connection for the joints of my structure using the RAM connection…
Difference in ANALYSIS between CODE LRFD and CODE AISC UNIFIED
I recently ran a fairly basic 3D steel frame analysis and design problem in STAAD. Members were grouped and SELECTed and then CODE CHECKed. I know that the SRF for LRFD3 is 0.85 and for AISC UNIFIED is 0.9. The design results from both runs is similar…
Web Tapered Members - Plate wise estimate
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have designed a Frame using web tapered members in STAAD Pro.
The frame weight shows the weight of different beams members used.
For example, the frame is having a member whose dimensions are
Web- 250 to 750 mm
Web thickness…
Member Check to AISC 360-10 and AISC Design Guide 9
Hi, I have some questions regarding member check to AISC 360-10.
So I was doing some check on a simple member (attached output file), and then I checked it using hand calculation to verify the numbers (I need to know how the program do simpler problem…
RE: SINGLY SYMMETRIC SECTION DESIGN IN STAAD
In your post you mention I sections which I think of being singly, if not doubly symmetric. Staad.pro can certainly design either type according to the AISC standards. Can you elaborate on what section you are trying to design. post your Staad input file…
STAAD V8i series 4 (20.07.09.31) ( slenderness check)
Hi,
Currently I am using AISC 360-10, I assigned slenderness value 200 ( main 200) to members.
some of the members are fail in slenderness but STAAD result shows "pass" could you please tell me why it happens ?
please see attached snap below.

Design of composite (Steel beam+deck slab) as per AISC, BS & Eurocode
Dear bentley & friends,
I had modeled the floor beams as composite and gave design parameter for Eurocode but design not performed and I had changed the code to BS and AISC, in this two codes composite design is done but not in eurocode. Why?
How…
Staad Pro - AISC ASD steel design
Hi everyone!
Where can I find the expression for the parameters "FCZ", "FTZ", "FCY", and "FTY" in AISC ASD regulation?
Thanks!
Response Spectrum Analysis
Dear Sir,
We have a model where the units is set to Mton and cm . Our questions are;
a.) Do we have to convert accleration scale factor to 9.805*100?
b.) Do we have to convert the Period Vs accleration curve *100? ( Max 0.18, so 0.18*100?)
C.…
When designing to API, does STAAD automatially refer to AISC for non tubular members?
Quick question about the API design parameter:
API-RP-2A-WSD 3.1.1 states "Unless otherwise recommended the platform should be designed so that all members are proportioned for basic allowable stresses specified by the AISC Specification for the Design…
