Hi. I am working on a steel structure and i have some issues with the seismic loads. That are the flexure MZ diagrams for the pure seismic load case in X direction (longitudinal). It caught my attention the results for the beam element marked in…

I am using the seismic load generator for the first time. Can you please verify that I have applied it correctly? This is a viaduct with a long through-truss span. CRT ped LL straight PRATT TRUSS w MBTA ELEV.std

Dear All, I am trying to consider vertical component of seismic load using National building code of Canada NBCC. I assume 70% of acceleration is vertical direction (see below), but I am getting errors. I would appreciate if you tell me where is the…

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…

Hi, I have a doubt in STAADP.ro CE about how can I implement the factor Bheta 1 and Bheta 2 in Steel Design (Appendix 8 AISC 360-16). I know that it possible to perform P-Delta Analysis, but for seismic design with modal analysis/response spectra, I…

Hi, I am facing a problem with reference to the Staad pro v9i SS6. Please help in solving the same if its a known bug or a workaround is available. I have imported the load data for seismic in all 6 directions (+/-X,+/-Y, +/-Z ) This is a Z up model…

I have a problem, my country code is not included in Staad. But I have calculated the lateral forces (Inertial) separately with excel, now How could put these forces in the center of mass of each floor in my model to generate the model seismic static…

Hello, I am new to STAAD Pro and am pursuing a project on seismic design. I want to know whether I can have a simulation of the seismic design that I have created in STAAD Pro. The version is v8i. Moreover, I would like to know if STAAD Pro can help…
