Question from a new STAAD user:
I am working on a model where I have steel members and concrete members. For steel, I am designing per AISC 360-10 and for concrete I am designing per ACI 318-11. For the steel members I will need notional loads in my load combinations and for the concrete design I will not need the notional loads. Is it possible to have two "sets" of load combination and specify which materials are designed by which load combinations? Also for the analysis I will be using the Direct Analysis Procedure for steel, but again won't need this for concrete (use P-Delta analysis for concrete). Again can I have two analysis options- one for steel and one for concrete? Is there an example of this anywhere? Thanks.
