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?

Hello Everyone How can I reduce the development length bars in the beam (Figure 1-1), I'm running to get a result like this beam (figure 2-1) Figure 1-1 Figure 2-1

How do I change Mton/Cm to Kn/m

What is the easiest and accurate way to modeling complex and huge Concrete building projects, Including irregular elements and the shear wall? Can I model staad building planner?

Hello, I´m designing two small guardhouses in STAAD.Pro V8i SS5, both are RC structures with slab foundations, they are almost equal in principal geometry, loading and sections, the only thing that changes considerably from one model to the other is the…

I am using RAM SS to evaluate concrete shear walls in an existing building to determine the feasibility of a vertical expansion. All shear walls are 12" thick. Typical single-direction shear walls have 24" X 24" boundary elements on their ends. Boundary…

I am analysing an RCC box girder for which some peculiar tapered sections have to be created. I created a tapered rectangular section in AutoCAD 2014. I used polyline to create the 2D and then extruded it to make it a solid 3D section. Now when I import…

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?

Does anyone know if/how you can model bundles of rebar in RAM Structural System? Currently I'm only seeing the equal spacing method for placing rebar within the concrete columns, but this is overly conservative when considering the bending stress in the…

Hi, This is my first post in this forum. I'm currently working for a post-tension consultant in Australia. I have some questions regarding Ram Concept and post-tension long-term losses According to Ram Concept manual the long-term losses includes…

I'm new to staad and have a simple modeling question. I'm trying to model a two-way concrete slab and beam system. I have the slab elements and beams defined, but when I view in 3-d, it appears that everything is being modeled from the centerline of the…

Let me first say I am no Staad expert...but I'm trying to learn. I have a wind frame that is concrete up to a certain height and steel up the roof. Is it possible to model this and analyze the combined frame all at once in Staad? If so could you please…

I have set up a model in RAM. It is A steel frame sat on an RC base. I have run the data check and there are no errors or warnings. I have run the steel beam design and it has given me section sizes. However, every time I try to run the steel…

I am currently modeling a 2 way slab in STAAD.Pro and I was wondering if anyone new of a good way to verify the validity of the model. Thanks, Hillary

Hello, In "Design for Flexure" section, STAAD foundation calculates the minimum reinforcement based on this equation: A s min = ρ. b . d eff b : foundation width or w d eff : effective depth But ACI says A s min = ρ. b . h [ ACI 7.12.2…

When looking at the long term deflections in RAM Concept, not using the Long Term Load History calculations. I check the Service Design rule set and under Section analysis, I check the selector called Long Term Deflection, This appears to take the elastic…
