Hi All,

I have done 2 similar staad model in the attached file. All loads, structure size are same, but the change is only in bracing size. i.e. one with single angle 120x120x8 & other with double angle 120x120x8 back to back and assigned all required parameters.

But single angle is passing & double with higher cross section is showing fails. Please rectify.

Hi,

I am sending again a question that I posted in another thread

communities.bentley.com/.../415756

Because I think I didn't described the issue well enough

I modeled a steel structure supported by a PLATE MAT  foundation using Option Y and the subgrade module.

I made dynamic analysis (modal analysis), and I found a contradiction when looking at Base Pressure results, specifically

some nodes show Negative base pressure values and the corresponding node displacements (Y) show negative values,

in the same way the Node Reactions (Y) show  negative values, so I do not understand why this is happening.

Notice that I am no using Y COMPRESSION option but just Y for the Mat Plate

I am uploading the .std file using the secure uploading option that this site offers, however if there is another

fast way to get help do not hesitate to give me advice.

Many thanks in advance for any help on this becuase I urgently need to find a solution for this,

Best regards,

Hello,

i am trying to add beams to an existing staircase, but they are marked as different structures. The warning is - Structure is disjointed. Any help would be appreciated.(Please visit the site to view this file)

Hi,

Please take a look at the uploaded image

Does Staad Foundation consider the contribution (Stiffness matrix) of Strip #3  to the analysis and design of Strips #1 and #2,

or it just make independent analysis and design for each one of them? 

In other words:

Does it make the analysis and design as a whole?

Currently, there is no option in RAM standalone SS6 to assign the aforementioned type of stiffeners. Is there any option to assign or create specific types of stiffeners in RAM standalone. Please refer to the attached drawings

Hello everyone,

is it possible to calculate the final deflection of a reinforced concrete plate in STAAD, considering creep, shrinkage and crack of the concrete? 

Hallo.

I would like to create some sub-reports of my model so as to combine them together.

I am doing as follows:

- Make the sub-report

- Save the sub-report

However when I want to create the final report combining them al together, the Report drop-down list of Report setup mask is empty!

Am I doing somthing wrong?

Thank you.

What is the difference when you analyse a structure for seismic load with floor diaphragm and without floor diaphgram.

I have an issue on running Microstran V9 and V9.1 on workstation, error F1097 show randomly when I trying to start the program.

Program can't start when the error shown up. I checked the Windows event log, below application error show.

I tried to re-installed program but no luck, it is happening when I tried to run the version V9 and V9.1.

I did some research, some said it is related to the library issue. But I have already re-installed the full program still not help.

Do anyone have advice on what is the error about?

Can you please check the Staad.Pro file which done is right???

If any mistake is there please let me know so that i can learn.

I'm having trouble understanding where RAM connections are getting certain values. I have a W30x90 beam framed over the top of an HSS10x10x5/8 tube. The program is using only half the load that I applied and the values for bearing length (N) are inconsistent and much less than the width of the tube. I don't understand where the software is getting the value for N and why it's only using half the input load to compare with. Has anyone had similar issues with this particular connection?

Buenos días. Hoy abrí un modelo con el que venía trabajando con el software normalmente pero no puedo visualizar los nudos entre miembros. Los nudos existen, aparecen en la sección de "Hoja de cálculo" con sus coordenadas, restricciones, etc., pero no puedo visualizarlos. ¿Alguien tiene alguna solución? Gracias.

(Good morning. Today I opened a model with the Software as usual but I can't visualize the nods between the members. The nods exist, they appear in the "Spreadsheet" section with their coordenates, restrictions, etc., but I can't see them. Does someone had the same problem and any solution? Thanks.)

Hello Everyone,

I was trying to design a commercial building using STAAD.Pro as per IS:456 2000 but even I tried with a maximum size of 0.9*0.75m cross section but still the sections fails.

Using more than 0.9*0.75 section is quite impossible to apply practical so I need some expert help to have a look into my model and help me out if some correction is needed.

(Please visit the site to view this file)

Is there any way to assign/design this type of connection? See below. The base will be sitting on concrete.

If not, is there a work-around for this?

Thanks

Hi, see below. Is there any way to offset the column in the direction perpendicular to the brace direction. It only gives me the option for a transversal offset (see what I highlighted in red), but I want a longitudinal offset (parallel to the column web or perpendicular to the brace direction). Only way I've found to do a longitudinal offset is by changing the column orientation to "longitudinal", but this will change to connection to a beam to column flange which definitely is not the intent.

Thanks

Hi,

I modeled a MAT foundation using STAADPRO FOUNDATION Series 4,

I need to be sure about the percentage area in contact with soil,

I understand that the reactions imported from the StaadPro structural analysis are applied at the top of the pedestal defined in StaadPro Foundation.

My question is:

Does StaadPro-Foundation calculate the additional moment produced by the imported horizontal loads due to the slab thickness

and the pedestal height?

Many thanks in advance for your help on this.

Best regards

hi

good day everyone.

I have a question about NOTIONAL LOAD FACTOR .

Regarding to AISC 360-16 PAGE 16.1-27 as shown below.

(c) In structures to which Section C2.2b is applicable, in lieu of using τb < 1.0 where
αPr /Pns > 0.5, it is permissible to use τb = 1.0 for all noncomposite members if a
notional load of 0.001αYi [where Yi is as defined in Section C2.2b(a)] is applied
at all levels, in the direction specified in Section C2.2b(b), in all load combinations.
These notional loads shall be added to those, if any, used to account for the
effects of initial imperfections in the position of points of intersection of members
and shall not be subject to the provisions of Section C2.2b(d).

1.

I try to realize the meaning of that. and if tau-b =1 and notion load will be 0.003 ,

is that right ?

2.

and I try to write the syntax in staad as show below.

DEFINE DIRECT ANALYSIS
FLEX 1 ALL
AXIAL ALL
FYLD 235000
NOTIONAL LOAD FACTOR 0.003

besides these syntax , is that any syntax I need to take care?

thank you.

I am designing a steel framed structure and am having trouble with my releases.

I continue getting warnings stating things like "ZERO STIFFNESS IN DIRECTION 5 AT JOINT 54". What do the numbers of the directions correspond to, particularly 4, 5 and 6? I don't understand the physical significance of what the program is saying.

When designing base plates connections I understand that if we use stiffeners we can reduce the base plate thickness, but in the software if we use the option "With stiffener plates", the calcs are not affected by this and the base plate remains with the same thickness.

Regards.
