Hello, I would like to model the same stack shown in fig and check it for wind and seismic loadings. Can you please guide me through step by step procedure to do so? Ravikant

I have attached my STAAD 3D model with a moving load generator which when run is giving me an warning message. The warning message reads "No Members in specified Vertical Range". The moving load is being applied to level and straight beams. Top Module…

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…

Hi everyone, I am modelling concrete tunnel rings with an opening. The rings are connected by shear dowels that supposed to have a shear capacity up to 300kN. I have a few questions regarding the modelling technique of this structure. I have modelled…

How can I hide members for printing different views? For example, I have a truss bridge model and I want to print schematic views to be used for field inspection, and I want a view of the top chords only (highlighted in red in the attached photos), but…

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…

Hola; Necesito saber si es posible generar barras según las define el reglamento CIRSOC 301, como Itipo Grupo IV y Grupo V en RAM, como se ven en la imagen del link. https://www.google.com.ar/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjp8…

Model Description:Hopper Supported over Steel frame Structure Questions 1.Directly Applied the hopper capacity load on the top upper member is this assumption right??(Hopper capacity/1 bay area) this is distributed over beam as member load via manual…

Dear Colleagues, Having seen STAAD developed / revamped ever since v2003 (the first version I had my hands on) till the CONNECT Edition; was wondering if we can also have a 3D Dimensioning Tool (without altering the current dimensioning Tool), wherein…

For a mat foundation 5 feet deep, would making Cross Section Trimming to none for this option be accurate when modeling. I want to apply a distributed RF along the top and bottom of footing at a certain spacing. For the properties what should I…

Dear all, I am relatively new to STAAD Pro. I have been able to model my building frame in reinforced concrete as well as some roof trusses in steel sections including Zed purlins. I have 3 issues: 1) how to model roof loading to transfer roof loads…

Dear Respected colleagues, as you can see from the attached images, i need help in modeling the true behavior of my pier system as shown in the 3D view. Since one pier is very stiff in transverse direction, there should be no deflection of any sorts but…

I am new to STAAD pro connect. I need some help on how to model a steel transition cap shown in the attached photo. The cap consists of two top and bottom plates separated by cylindrical section. There are 24 gussets attached to the outer perimeter of…

Hi Support Team, I have been modelling a large 3m deep transfer PT beam. (Screen shot below). Is there any Bentley software that would allow be analyse the 'True' bending stress as explained in section 52.4.2 of the user manual. Alternatively can you…

I tried to model a concrete block using solid element (to simulate a pile cap). However, the block does not seem to look right in Staad. I numbered the nodes sequentially in one direction for the upper nodes and similarly for the lower nodes. There seems…

Hello, I have modelled a culvert using 3D shell element. In order to apply the seismic load, which I have calculated manually in kN as a nodal load, How do I apply the nodal load for the whole laylength of the structure.. I have model 3 legged…

Good day, I performed a concrete design in STAAD Pro using the moment magnification method, however, there seems to be an error as the Slenderness ratio (Klu/r) reported by STAAD is much smaller than expected. For example, Klu/r reported for Column…

So, I attached two pictures, the hand drafted shows what I'm trying to achieve in STAAD. I'm not facing problem with the beams, those are already modeled, but how am I supposed to go about the plates at level 0.00? Note that only the beam in red has…

The newest version of RAM SS 15.05 now has unique stiffness modification factors for each deck direction for materials such as corrugated roof deck. However, I haven't found diagram, or example explaining what the factors "f11", "f22", "f12", "m11", …

So I'm having a problem where I am making a repository from a structural model that was generated in Autodesk Revit and was using structural steel and analytics that were from AISC 6th Edition (ASD6) because of the age of the building. So the properties…

Good Day Everyone, I have completed a staad model of a staircase, however I have been recieving the following error from the shear wall design results "FAILED:NO REBAR IS AVAILABLE FOR VERTICAL REINFORCEMENT". Does any one know why this would occur…

Hi Everyone, How does staad treat out of plane forces in the design of shear walls? As I've never seen Staad generate an interaction diagram for the design of these members. Which design methodology does staad employ in its shear wall designs?

Hi everyone, 1.)How can I ensure that the moment results I obtain for my beams are accurate for a model which incorporates a plate element. I am currently modelling a staircase with the use of beam, plate and surface elements, however, the moments I…

Good day, How can I best model a footing that support perpendicular shear walls. In these cases the footing would intersect each other and would therefore share one common node. I have tried the GEN FIXED command with no errors but with the following…
