HDR designs many concrete water tanks (round and square). We use STAAD to generate a FEM mesh and then use the stresses to design the concrete elements with load factors unique to ACI-350.

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.

Hi, I am wondering when STAAD RCDC would be equipped with CSA A23.3? Thanks

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.
