for site engineer ,it is useful to understand calculation report.as input parameters added in the calculation report, it is benefit for checker to review. eg. beam section ,column section ,steel strengh ect.

To determine whether a column is a no sway or a sway column, stability index Q may be computed as given in annex-e of IS456. It's a very time consuming and cumbersome calculation while we are freezing the column sizes. if Q is directly calculated ...

STAAD cannot report Beam Results in the Global Coordinate Systems in the UI Results Table. However, it is capable of printing Member Forces using the Global Coordinate System to the Analysis Report. This hinders downstream processes that require t...

easy way to find the section properties . Also all the flange width and thickness and web depth is coming except web thickness

Engineering work flow requires quick visual assessments of results and modification of structural models until a satisfactory solution is achieved. Hence, as part of the time saving ideas for reviewing structural models, May I suggest that the Wor...

Many codes, particularly IS 1893 part-2 and IS 3370 part-2, the RCC elevated/underground water retaining structure should be analyse and design in "TANK ENPTY" and "TANK FULL" both of the conditions, but staad pro seismic definition whether it is ...

In India many Columns are made with 4 leg of angle with lacing of rod or angle(built-up) STAAD have option of design back to back but it is not have front to front angle configuration

If the slenderness ratio meets the requirements, but its normalized ratio is not shown in the utilization table, can the slenderness ratio be added to the utilization table, which will help the designer to understand the condition of the member.

As we know in R.C structures we may need to provide holes in beam for service purposes. I am here attaching a book showing examples on the design of beams with holes. [View:/cfs-file/__key/telligent-ideas/03d5f738-7ee6-4ff2-9384-201f3d5dd0d9/Concr...
