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?

Hi I use STAAD Pro Connect V22 Update 3. Here I display a color plot of stresses in a plate between girders. I get Von Mises stresses more than twice as large as the Tresca stresses. How can this be? In theory Tresca shall be equal or larger than Von…

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…

I have modelled one simple structure in STAAD PRO and found that there are two types of displacement value in post processing. NODE and MEMBER. Which displacement shall i use for comparing with allowable displacement as per BS5950 code.

Staad crashes while assigning beta angle. Beta angles gets deleted after reopening the staad file.

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…

When we use gust factor method and force coefficient method for any Structure as per IS 875 PART 3 ?

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

Hi there, can you please describe how to update the Staad Pro V8i SS6 to the latest build? I am struggling to do so. Many company PC's require the latest software to be consistent. Thanks a lot

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…

I recently had some issues with Staad Pro force closing on my machine following some IT issues. I re-installed Staad which sorted the problem, however now a number of my models are failing where they didn't before the re-install. I'm currently designing…

When running the STAAD, the result shows everything is right,. Structure is stable, no warning. Displacements are limited. BUT, I get some funny numbers for rotational displacement e.g. 533 degree & sometimes more. I checked releases. I believe they…

Section 5.20.3 states that "f 1 (Depth of section at start node) should always be greater than f 3 (Depth of section at end node)." In the model I am working in, it makes more sense for me to define my members from left to right which results in some…

Hello As part of my project I had been going through some examples as shown on the verification manual of Staad Pro v8i and version 2007. However, I been having issues with some of the examples as some do not show the full detail of calculation description…

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…
