Hi guys. I am a new user in staad. I tried modeling my file but i can't run it as a whole. Can someone give me tips on how to model this on my staad? at the same time, i am trying to analyze it part by part, but can't seem quite to run it due to instability…

Hello, I am working on STAAD.Pro V8i and I can read in the help manual, for the Japanese codes 2005 steel design that the equation for the Allowable bending moment stress correction factor C is written: C=1.75 - 1.05 (M2/M1) + 0.3 (M2/M1)^2 I am…

Can someone look at my model as tell if i have designed the truss model correctly. Truss Pipe no column.std

Does the area of steel always remains less for a truss model than I beam to support a structure.

Hi, I am practicing Staad pro and having issues with truss modelling. i don't know if my method is right for analysis and design of truss model. could someone tell me what is a general procedure for designing a circular steel frame shade of 35m supported…

Dear sir, Greetings!! Please help me out from this as i am design a peb structure in staad pro its showing fail on 16 mm of web and flange thickness, but my seniors are saying (as per their experience basis only) that the column and rafter will…

I have selected code IS 800 2007 LSD which is also my default code but staad is showing CODE INDIAN in editor file. Are both same? or it should show IS800 2007 LSD? Also I want to know permissible stresses of steel in bending as per LSD. I have attached…

Hi In my STAAD.Pro output result the volume of concrete and steel is not there. Please help me. Thanku

I'm working on a 4 columned structural mast and I made a model of it on Sap2000. And Sap2000 gave me great amounts of K factor values, such as 5,7~8,0 That sounds creepy! This tower has 4 columns and spacing is about 2m x 1.2m between. Software doesn…

Hello, I'm looking at this article, and would like some clarification: https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/w/structural_analysis_and_design__wiki/2055/ram-steel-columns-fa The diagram says "minor" and "major" axis moment, however…

I am trying to determine sizes for the existing double angles that are failing and I am preferring that the leg heights stay the same and only the thickness change. Is there a way to do this?

Hello! I'm a CE student and im trying to design a structure made up of steel. I would like to know what connection do I actually use for the support on trusses, and on STAAD.Pro do I place the truss on my structure or do I analyze the structure…

I'm curious what the most efficient method might be for quickly reviewing steel beam deflections for members designated at lateral beams in RAM SS? In the RAM Steel Beam module it is fairly easy to see beam deflections either case by case or by report…

I am modeling a structure with W sections, and am using A992 steel for it. Staad automatically assigns steel to have the values for A36 steel. How can I assign properties to members so that they have the Fy and Fu of A992 steel?

Hi everyone! I am analysing a Channel section according to Eurocode 3 and I am finding it hard to understand how Staad calculates the critical Moment (Mcr) The critical moment I get from the program is different from the one I get from "Annex F of…

Hi everyone! Where can I find the expression for the parameters "FCZ", "FTZ", "FCY", and "FTY" in AISC ASD regulation? Thanks!

Hi I am performing a code check against EC3 and have specified the TRACK parameter as 2.0 i.e. to output detailed results. I see these results in the output file but there does not seem to be any way to include them in a report. If I select Steel Design…

AISC has recently come out in support of IFC as the preferred method for model data exchange (Reference "The New AISC Interoperability Strategy"; Modern Steel Construction, November 2011). Will IFC be interoperable with ISM? How does Bentley plan to…

I was wondering if there is any literature on the best way to approach the design of a simple four sided moment frame building using RAM Structural System? Thanks, Scott

Hi all, I need to design an arch portal frame with a special composite section comprise of corrugated steel plate sandwiching a concrete with a certain thickness. I just wondering how could Staad.Pro model this section (see image attached)? If It could…

I recently tried the feature of generating the properties of a built-up section by using the "Tools / Create user table / Add new property" then checking the "Define Profile Polygon" and inputting the perimeter points. I was able to generate the cross…

Could someone explain a little how the Column Cap plate connection in RC standalone works? The user manual doesn't tell anything about it, and I haven't found anything on this site about it. It always shows very typical cap plate connections failing by…

Dear Sir, I am having a problem trying to design structural steel members to Graded 50 steel. I understand Staadpro default is Grade 43. How do I go about changing teh setting so I can design to Grade 50 or Grade 55 steel? Appreciate a prompt response…

Does anyone have an RSS Beams table with 6th edition beam shapes in it?
