There is a maximum limit 6" for pile embedment and also for bottom steel reinforcing in mat foundations in SFA 2026. There is no code basis for this limitation and there are cases where this could be significantly larger. Currently is is making th...

This idea is intended to report an issue related to the calculation of nominal concrete shear using STAAD Foundation Advanced V2025. This calculation is performed using ACI 318-19 Equation 22.5.5.1(a), which applies only to non-prestressed members...

During the design of some pile cap foundations in STAAD foundation advanced I noticed there are currently not any additional group capacity checks for shear and tension capacity (it seems the only current workaround is to multiply individual pile ...

At present in RCDC beam reinforcement table in coming for reinforcement provided. It is becoming vary tedious task to see the actual reinforcement required at each location to compare the difference B/W actual reinforming required vs provided. So ...

For the design of concrete structures and foundations that will require permit approval in Canada, a recent code is expected. CSA code available in STAAD Pro Connect Edition is still CSA 23.3-94. Currently the latest code is 2019 but the 2014 is a...

Currently, water tank design is only available for the Euro Code. Please update for use with current ACI code.

Please include the ability to edit the pedestal height in footings created from STAAD Pro reference files. Currently, editing is blocked after defining "Top Level," forcing footing remodeling. This limitation impacts design efficiency and accuracy...

Dear Bentley Team, I am writing to request the implementation of the following features in STAAD Foundation Advanced 2024 to significantly improve the isolated footing modeling workflow: Direct Subgrade Modulus Assignment: Enable the direct assign...

ACI 350-20 shall be included in RCDC for Design of liquid retaining structures design Similar to Eurocode.

Although the current version of SFA 2024 allows users to view the proposed reinforcement using the Detailing option and take a manual screenshot from the Report tab to include it in the report, this image must be added manually and can only be pla...
