Axes Convention in STAAD and Eurocode
Hi.
In STAAD, major axis is Z-Z and minor is Y-Y. However, in EC3, it's the other way around.
With this, I wish to have confirmation and ask what are the significant parameters to consider about the difference in sign conventions when doing STAAD…
RAM Connection Module - Horizontal Brace
Hi.
Does Select Beam-Brace Joints work in horizontal braces too?
When I select it, it won't highlight the horizontal braces and the beams.
Is it because there are no available connections for hor. brace in RAM Connection Module?
When I tried the…
RAM Concrete Shearwall UK
I'm trying to use RAM Concrete for shear wall design, however the bar templates whether manual or auto only appear to have
US bar sizes not UK ones. This is of regardless of which design code is selected. For instance in the UK a 16mm dia bar is popular…
STAAD CODE CHECK NS3472 VS EC3
Hi
I am designing unique steel structures for the offshore industry, mostly with box sections.
In the old days we have used the Norvegian code check - NS3472, together with prismatic sections and everything worked fine.
Today we must use EuroCode…
Design of steel beam using Euro code
I am using a STAAD. pro select series 4.0 and want to design a steel beam using Euro code.
In my structure, i am designing a simply supported beam with UDL. Beam is laterally tied by two perpendicular members in plan. Below are force values and design…

How to remove warning *** WARNING *** DYNAMIC MASSES IN GLOBAL X, Y AND Z DIRECTIONS ARE NOT SAME. WARNING MESSAGES ARE WRITTEN IN _MASSEURO.TXT FILE.
We have designed a steel structure according to EUROCODE.
Since we have submitted a STAAD report to our client & he is asking about this warning.
Please let me know why this warning appears.
And give solution as early as possible.
RE: *** WARNING:CMN PARAM INVALID FOR NATIONAL ANNEX
According to the program help, CMN should be 0.5, 0.7 or 1.0.
CMN Indicates the level of End-Restraint.
1.0 = No fixity
0.5 = Full fixity
0.7 = One end free and other end fixed
I see it mentioned for several National Annexes, in the discussion…
RE: Design of Columns in Tension per Eurocode
This request came up for the Russian code not long ago, and we are thinking to adopt the method as documented in the publication, Reinforced Concrete Design, by C.K.Wang which is used in our current ACI batch design and could be used in the SP63 code…
RE: Staad Advanced foundation Unexpected Results
I exported the input data from the files attached to a spreadsheet and then imported the same into a new SFA file (build 20.07.00.06). For both the combined footings, there is a punching shear failure message in the design progress report. I have retained…
RE: RAM CONNCEPT: MODULE OF CONCRETE
Take a look in the program manual under the EN 1992-1-1:2004 (Eurocode 2) chapter, section on Material Behaviors -Concrete behavior. In the CONNECT edition, that's section 65.3.1 Concrete Behavior which clarifies how E is calculated. Here's an excerpt…
LTB check EN 1993-1 on cantivered section
Hi,
I'm carrying out an LTB check to a 5 metre long cantilevered column as per EN 1993-1.
I found a way to carry out the check by setting the CMM parameter to 7 (or to 8) and then manually specifying C1, C2, C3 and ZG as per NCCI SN003b (or similar…
RE: RAM steel output information
The Steel beam design report is the most detailed output we have (there is a less detailed summary).
