Hi, In the STAAD section wizard, after creating a built-up box section, I manually change the values of Shear Resisiting Areas ('Ay' 'Az'), width, and thickness of flange and web (TD, TB, D, B) before exporting it as a UPT file. For such section…

Hello, I have exported the load cases from a STAAD model to a foundation model, and I have begun the design for pile caps. However, I am getting strange values for Dcritical. I have a 48" thick pile cap, and the effective depth calculation reads as follows…

Hello Everyone For a while, I was using an Advanced Concrete Design (RCDC) for the design of a solid slab. Today I tried to learn the RAM concept for the slab designs but I saw a design of strips that had never seen before (When I was using RCDC and…

Hello Everyone. I create a dummy beam with density=0 and E=0 (Figure.1) then I assign the beam (Figure.2) then Staad Error occurs( ***ERROR*** MATERIAL NAME MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY BLANK SPACE )(Figure.3), What is the solution?

for Seismic design category A structure, 10% of story dead load is required to consider (refer 11.7.2 of ASCE7-05). Does STAAD apply 1% of story dead load as Seismic load or it will calculate as per prescribed procedure based on chapter 12~15 of ASCE7…

After analysis i need to modify the geometry of one member. If i need this modification i will lose the cut lines created with results along line tool. I'd like to find a way to not lose the cutting lines after making the modify and relaunching the analysis…

warehouse.zip wind calculation also in that folder.... try to fix this probem guys

I have got my report, but there is no loading details like dead load, Wind loads and all... In report settings i have added Loadings, but its not showing.... Wt to do???? i want to see other load details. How to get that details?

Actually i need all members UC Ratio values. How to get all values???? Please guys guide me New folder (2).rar

First of all, I would like to let you know the objective of the subject is not pipe stress analysis result (as in other pipeline/piping software). I would like to ask for structural analysis related to pipe (pipeline) located in boxculvert. I need an…

Hello fellow colleagues, I have model a structure that incorporates a shear wall system with that of a special moment frame, however I have come across a few problems and would also like to make some other queries. The questions are as follows: 1…

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!

I am performing a dynamic analysis (Response Spectrum) for a Structure with 2 basement levels. I have some queries regarding the use of STAAD commands to model the soil - structure interaction. Results of static and dynamic analysis are…

Our company recently went from Risa to STAAD, is there any way to import a RISA 3D file into STAAD other than the DXF feature? The dxf only imports the geometry and I would like to get the properties. I know you can go the other way, from STAAD to Risa…

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…

When importing Staad models the steel shapes are split into multiple pieces due to the fact of other members being analytically attached to them. Why is this and how can I fix this?

We are currently modeling a building, and I am trying to transfer the geometry from Structural Modeler via Structural Synchronizer into Staad.X. One problem is that as we usually stop our walls and columns below the slab, and start the next on top…
