RE: requesting a report on analysis and design of composite structure
STAAD.pro has some composite design capabilities, but only limited codes are supported. Check the program help contents - index - composite to see the documentation.
Meanwhile, for a mid-rise composite structure we would typically advise users to use…
RE: RAM Structural System - Custom Beam Flags
Most of what you are looking for is available in one way or another.
Minimum flange width can be specified in Modeler - Layout - beams - Size restrictions. Keep in mind this is an precise limit, not a nominal limit.
There are also controls in the…
RE: Modeling Composite sections as beams
Please refer to the section 1.7.7 of the Technical Reference Manual titled Composite Beams and Composite Decks. For your case the Explicit Definition Method ( first method ) would be appropriate.
In the GUI, the option is available when you click on…
RE: Eliminate Dead Load End Moments in Composite Beam Moment Connections
There is nothing quite like that in RAM SS, but there are some features that you might use and some cautions.
First off, in the Ram Frame analysis, composite action is not considered. The stiffness of the beam is just based on the bare steel beam. See…
RE: RAM Elements/Structural System Composite Floor Design
1. Shear deformation is not in considered Ram Steel for gravity beams. Shear deformation through finite element analysis is limited to the results from Ram Frame or Ram Concrete. See our analysis types wiki for details.
2. The shear factor for Gen sections…
RE: composite deck adavantages
If you are thinking about costs, then the advantages of a composite system over a non-composite one include:
reduce steel weight
fewer beams and connections
reduced story to story height.
But none of that is particular to STAAD.pro. Is there…
RAMSS Composite beams being designed as non-composite members
This problem is occurring on RAM Structural System v8 i 14.05.03.00
My problem is pretty straightforward. I have a model that was designing composite beams correctly. However, when I added a couple of cantilever beams and changed the deck/slab area…
RAM composite - 1 stud per foot
Is it possible to set RAM Structural System to only use 1 stud per foot? I know you can set the maximum spacing (and I have set it to 12") but is there a way to set the minimum spacing? My company has an internal policy to only use 1 stud per foot for…
StaadPro; I should like to determine the Response Factor to footfall for a Composite Floor - where to start?
Hello
We have to determine the Response Factor for a composite floor.
I would like to model in the composite floor and analyse using Staad Pro to determine the Modal Mass (M) so that I can use it in the equations for rms acceleration to determine…
Will RAM Elements work with composite steel beams?
I have searched the pdf manual, the forums, and the communities and not found anything about composite beams in Elements. Will it not allow design of a beam acting compositely with a concrete slab via shear studs or composite deck?
