To get the maximum and minimum bending moment in a beam i wrote a code as follows: Private Sub CommandButton2_Click() Dim OpenSTAAD As Object Set objOpenSTAAD = GetObject(, "StaadPro.OpenSTAAD") Dim lMemberNo As Long Dim lEnd As Long Dim lLoadcase As…

I am working of a factory building, area of (119578*46422) sq.mm . Its holding Live Load of 130 psf . Columns 20 Nos. in long & 8 Nos.in short direction Dead Load is of Main wall(0.8353 ksf)+Partition wall(0.363 ksf)+Floor Finish(0.03 ksf)+Self…

Hi, 1. Does STAAD take into account the ductile detailing provisions of CHAPTER 21 of ACI 318M-11, while arriving at the reinforcement area and stirrup area ?? 3. If those provisions are available, how does STAAD identify a SMRF or IMRF or OMRF in…

All, I read through the FAQ "Why are my composite beams being designed as non-composite members?' section but am still confused why RAM SS and SBeam both has po<5.6 limits for web penetrations, even for composite beams. I used Design Guide as an reference…

Hi, I am getting error in designing beam with cover plate. 9m.std I am using (SS6 20.07.11.33).

Good evening,my student colleagues and I have been set a question the issue is we disagree with the lecturer on how to proceed The question was “A rectangular solid concrete flat slab floor, with a thickness T, has 5 spans with a length X each in…

I'm doing homework, but I do not know how to use the wizard section , I want to do a double square tube to the top rope, but nothing happens, so I do equivalence of the tube. loads I'm using , if they are not correct, for example , I make linear loads…

Error- "beam #109 not supported on left end on layout type floor2", There are 32 same kind of errors for the beams. What's wrong? the model file is attached here with. Program: RAM - V8 Select series 7 building - Copy - Copy.rar

Hi, I am getting the following errors when I run a Design All in the RAM Steel BEAM/Joist module. In cases where I can't get true composite action, I still want to specify the minimum amount of shear studs. What does the module show when I view the…

I am trying to use RAM Structural System to design an apartment building out of Steel and Wood. The wood beams are modeled as steel joists (I have custom joist tables set up for the wood beam members). The steel beams are modeled as steel beams. Both…

Hey all, I'm an undergrad doing a bridge design using STAAD (fairly new to the program). I'm modeling a bridge with wooden deck planks. The bridge is a short span composed of 3 longitudinal beams. Resting on the beams are deck plans spanning the width…

Hello all, I'm a student learning STAAD.Pro this semester. I've done a beam model with two point loads applied. I've analyzed the model, but I haven't seen an output for what the actual value of max deflection in the beam is. How does STAAD display…

Dear bentley, The below values related to temperature load from my project specification, i cant understand this. anyone please explain me about this and what value to be given in staad pro... please help me as soon as possible. *******START*****…

Dear bentley & friends, I had modeled the floor beams as composite and gave design parameter for Eurocode but design not performed and I had changed the code to BS and AISC, in this two codes composite design is done but not in eurocode. Why? How…

I was wondering if there was a way to design girders with a different minimum composite action than my joists. Currently I have the minimum set at 25% for all beams but I want the girders to be designed for a minimum of 50%. Is there a way in RAM to set…

i would like to ask about tapered section how does staad calculate moment of inertia does he devided the section , if yes how can i control the number of devision

Dear fellow users, I am trying to design in STAAD a BOX FRAME for a structure. This box frame has an intermediate (smaller) restraint beam which helps for stability. When running the analysis with the necessary loads, it seems that this intermediate beam…

I am modeling a suspended slab on grade with grade beams. In the Design status, it shows the shear reinforcement in the beams but when I look at the Reinforcement detailed bars perspective, it shows the shear reinforcement coming out of the beams through…

For a two-way slab, when would it be applicable to mesh a beam as slab and when is it not?

I am designing a composite floor system as my first project in RAM. As I was looking at the composite beam deflections and checking them to make sure I understood and agreed, it seemed that the Post-Composite Beam Deflections for a S-S beam with a UDL…
