Hello Everyone Which is better to intersect the primary beam and secondary beam (Figure1), or Merge the primary beam to be one (Figure2)?

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?

I have an assignment to submit and it about modeling gravity dam and analysis, how to get mesh sensitivity analysis, and how to obtain the contours of compressive, tensile, and shear stresses as well as displacements. Adopt a suitable elastic-linear constitutive…

How does Moment distribution and release for beams work in STAAD Pro ? While designing Secondary Beams, I’m generally releasing the moments MX, MY, MZ to a 100% at their ends. If I keep the ends fixed, I get a hogging moment say ‘ X ’ kN-m at the…

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

I'm working in the RAM Elements Concrete Wall Module, and have applied a variety of loads (vertical DL & LL, in-plane W, out-of-plane W). However, once analysis is run, the axial diagrams and report shows axial load = 0. It does account for the applied…

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?

I am trying to design the beams for the concrete structure I analysed in STAAD but every I arrive at Beam design, when I click on the "design button", it gives me the error message "Beam forces not imported". I an able to design columns, slabs and footing…

Dears, Concerning the design of RC beams in a PT slab, i am trying to determine the most accurate way to design the beams (determining top and bottom reinforcement). in Ram concept all design procedure is based on design section analysis. i prefer designing…

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 modeling a building where the first couple stories are steel and then the top stories are concrete with a two way slab. When I go to design the steel I get messages about the load not included from the concrete floors. Is there a way to make it so…

I have modeled concrete shear walls as a surface element and STAAD output file writes that they are designed but don't show anywhere (see picture)? How do I get the results to show? 10.25 One Bigelow with shear walls (2).std

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…

Hello. Why does the "Provided Spacing" at mid section does not matched the "SPrv"? And why does the governing "Provided Spacing" from left and right supports is 100mm? As per ACI ther's no minimum spacing that is 100mm. Correct me if I'm wrong here…

Hello. How does STAAD compute the modulus of elasticity of concrete (default material properties)? The default values are: fcu is 27.58 MPa E is 21728 MPa Say I would like to use f'c = 27 MPa, what would be the corresponding E and fcu? I know…

I have an existing two-way slab that I am trying to analyze. At locations of negative bending, the effective depth for one way shear calculations is much smaller than I'm calculating it to be by hand. Based on the value that the audit is showing, it…

I am new to staad and my analytical model is completed. But whenever I try to launch staad RCDC to design beams or columns I get the message "Beam/columns are missing". Any clues on what's going on ?

Hello, Currently, I am using STAAD pro Connect edition's latest version. Following are question mainly targeting of RCC and Steel structure design in STAAD Pro and in other Bentley tools per Eurocode with German N ational Annex (NA). 1. Can…

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?

Hi, I am using STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition V22. The concrete structure was original modelled in revit 2018 and transferred to Staad through ISM. When the solver is run, I receive a error message ' ***ERROR*** WRONG STRENGTH PARAMETER PROVIDED'. Attached…

To make a long story short, in the shear wall section of the concrete module what does dark blue mean when referring to section cuts? I get green yellow and red as those are standard. And I found light blue mentioned in the manual which means that the…

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…
