Dummy beam
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?
How does STAAD determine beam deflections?
Hello,
I am modeling a floor slab (1 ft thick) with concrete beams (all 24" wide x 36" deep). These beams will be cast monolithically with the floor slab, therefore the beams are modeled as 24" deep.
My question is how does STAAD determine the following…
RE: Monolithic Concrete Slab/Beam Connection Modeling
Typically this does not affect the analysis in a significant manner. The weight of the portion of the slab that is accounted for twice, is not much and if you want to, you can apply a uniformly distributed load in the upward direction on the beam and…
Modeling beam and slab connectivity in STAAD Pro
I am modeling a very wide slab (120' x 30') simply supported on two long opposite edges. It would have been a simple one way slab but it has two edge beams on the shorter (30') edges. The slab is 20" deep and the edge beams are 29" deep x 18" wide. I…
