Hello all,
When several parameters are used for steel design in staad.pro, the "Beam unity check" in the GUI shows the ratio for the last parameter only.
However, our client needs to use RATIO parameters as,
- 1.00 for DL+LL
- 1.333 for DL+WL
according to the local design code regulations.
In the output report, it shows two STEEL DESIGN results for the two parameters used. However, in the GUI, it shows the result for the last parameter only.
How to know the critical one among these two? is there an option?
Checking from the report can be easily done when there are only two parameters, but for a structure with many load combinations, how to see the critical ratio of all parameters? the model is attached for your reference.
please help.
thanks in advance. (Please visit the site to view this file)
