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.

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

Staad foundation advance supports design of structural strap of strap foundation as per ACI code , i.e not designed the structural strap of strap foundation as per Indian code. Hence add the features of design strap foundation along with structura...

Have the material properties from the Staad analysis import from staad.

I would like to import a Staad model to SFA then design a pile cap based on the reactions and then design the piles supporting the pile cap. I see that there is a drilled pier module within plant foundations, but I can't seem to import the loads. ...

when I use RCDC, the column failed to crack-width,but I want to know the result of failed column crack-width value and calcute to deside how to update the model, update Longitudinal reinforcement or stirrup

Design of raft foundation in RCDC FE/RAM concept doesn't report about the stability of foundation like against overturning, sliding, max.base pressure etc

We are really appreciate that rebar 6 and 9 mm were added to RCDC recently(update2023). But we would like to request another function that the fy can be assigned to specific rebar number and also differ to each rebar. For example, If we have RB 9m...

Currently in Column Design, RCDC has a limit on the maximum value of the effective length factor and users cannot modify this limit value 5. I want RCDC to lift the restriction on this factor. In my case as per attached staad, Column effective len...
