Staad Summary Tables w/ ASD & LRFD Load Combinations
Staad Summary Tables w/ ASD & LRFD Load Combinations
(OP)
I've set up a combined staad model of a concrete plate foundation and a steel structure.
I have a set of ASD and LRFD load combinations. Is there a way to have my beam unity check summary table only consider LRFD cases, my plate force summary table to only consider LRFD cases, and my support reactions/base pressure summary table to only consider ASD cases?
I would like to add these summary tables with relevant LCs to my report
Thanks in advance

Since I'm not performing an actual code check on the joint reactions, I don't know how to exclude lrfd load combinations from being included in the reaction summary.

If include all combinations for my report and then add the reactions or reaction summary(or base pressure summaries) to the report, these tables will include all LCs? Is there no way around this?

If you have four load combinations in a model, the first 2 are service and last 2 are factored design combos, then the end of your input file might look something like this:
LOAD LIST 1 2
PRINT MEMBER FORCES
PRINT SUPPORT REACTION
LOAD LIST 3 4
PARAMETER
CODE AISC
TRACK 1.0 ALL
CHECK CODE ALL
FINISH
Now, if you go into the Post Processing mode and setup the report you should select only the service combos under Load Cases and include the Reactions and the Steel Design Detail in the report. The reactions will be cases on the selected service combinations, while the steel code check is limited to the original combinations considered in the design.
