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 ...

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...

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.

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.

Can you provide calculations which are similar to the connection design, i.e. include detailed calculations as well as formulas?

It would be useful if Mass Model generator is included in physical Modeller.

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

Hello i would like to give a suggestion when modelling a structure and create a mesh using parametric model after generating mesh we know the beams are broken into parts depending on the mesh size, if one decides to delete the mesh, then the disin...

automated tool for hydrostatic loading should be included
