Frame in Staad pro
Frame in Staad pro
(OP)
Hello
I am trying to analyse one story frame in Staad pro. see attached frame image for reference. the frame is about 30ft high and i am adding HSS girt at some intermediate location for wind load. How that HSS girt is going to be connected with column. do i have release the moment for HSS beam ?
Thank you

RE: Frame in Staad pro
It is always advantageous to design girts as a simple beam due to ease in installation of girts on site. Also I think that loads on the girts and not that high (usually it is governed by serviciblity)
RE: Frame in Staad pro
But I would leave them out and just analyze them separately (by hand). They might affect the behavior of your model, taking axial loads or making the frame stiffer.
All of these might reflect the actual behavior, but are not the traditional assumptions used in building analysis.
And why are you using HSS's for girts? How about channels and sag rods?
RE: Frame in Staad pro
HSS for girts seems odd.
Are you trying to serve some duel purpose with the HSS girt?
