In the RAM SS foundation load summary, what loads are considered in the "self" column?

I have a location where two deck types meet, one with a roof loading and the other with a floor loading. There is an odd line load being applied in the analysis that is greatly affecting the design on my beams and columns. I cannot see to find the source…

Hi, My company usually only use one wind definition for wins area load and factor it for different wind cases. I have 3 wind definitions, and I am getting these messages in Editor. Is it a warning message? DEFINE WIND LOAD TYPE 1 NESC HEAVY INT…

This should be an easy one for you all. When you place a load over a given area and then add an additional load that overlaps it, does STAAD consider the loads additive or choose one or the other? I'm thinking specifically if you define a live floor…

Seismic load combinations are: 1.2D + 1.0E + L + 0.2S 0.9D + 1.0E + 1.6H While calculating the E loading, shall we do it for 1.0D + 1.0L OR based on the factors indicated in the mentioned combinations: 1.2D + 1.0L 0.9D **It is known that…

Dear all, I am a beginner in STAADPRO and I have already read some topics on this forum about this problem. And I tried to improve my model so on. And I have a lot of warnings . Can anyone help me giving me some advices and tell me what's wrong with…

I am modelling a building that has a steel roof truss on the roof slab. Now while assigning dead and live load (Floor Load) on that particular floor, I am unable to see a proper distribution of forces that have occurred through the other floors. I am…

Lately I've been running into issues with my lateral analysis on a large, square steel framed building. The roof is an 1-1/2" metal deck that slopes in one direction and drops 10' over the length of the building, which I've modeled as a semirigid diaphragm…

If there are gravity walls or gravity columns (any material) on top of a gravity concrete beam will these display in these views/report? Or is it only tributary loads (point and line loads) on that floor? Thank!

Trying to apply nodal loads to a frame that is skewed and it seems the options are limited to X and Y only. Applying with X and Y components at frame end did not produce expected results.

Hi, I am designing a steel beam grid (IPN240) and I want to apply a uniform surface load (10 kN / m2) to be taken by the beams. Is there any way to do this without creating a slab on which to apply the uniform surface load? As shown, no…

Hi I need to delete existing load items o node-beams and load cases I cannot find any function about it thanks in advance Roberto

Hi, i have a problem when ytrying to use floor oneway loads, I specify the range in x,y,z and i use the "towards" option, because i don´t want the program to use always the short direction: ONEWAY LOAD YRANGE 2.16 2.18 ONE -0.25 XRANGE -14.51 -10…

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…

what is manning of M22 in load table where we can moment value get this in staad.pro ? plz explain. and I attach load table plz check this sir.

In RAM Elements is there a way to input a torsional load on a member? Or does the torsional load have to come from another member (such as a cantilever) with a load on it?

Dear Colleagues, Say if I have to apply wind on all the four sides (+x / +z / -x / -z) of an irregular structure/geometry, is it okay to consider only 2 positive cases (+x / +z) as Basic Load Case and generate 4 load combinations with 2 positive and…

I am using Member loading ( UDL ) and getting warning in the analysis output, which for me seems like a software bug, can you please guide me. Input LOAD 20 WIND: WIND X MEMBER LOAD 13 UNI Y 3.28 0 3.25 0 I have give f1,f2,f3 and f4 as the manual…

Hi Guys, Why are assigning both self weight and pressure loads on plates elements for building slab ?

warehouse.zip wind calculation also in that folder.... try to fix this probem guys

I am designing gusset plate connections from a model I brought in from RAM SS. The frame from the model has bracing with and angle of ~75 degrees. As I understand, RAM Connect will not allow me to design the connection with bracing above 70 degrees. Is…

Dear Colleagues, I happened to open an STAAD file modeled using the previous version, but when opened in my CONNECT Edition 21.03.00.146, i noticed that ONE way loading diagram assigned to a set of beam's FLOOR group, diagram doesn't seem to match as…
