torsion check in STAAD Pro using AISC 360-10
(OP)
hi
i have tried using the AISC 360-10 code for the torsion check for a simply supported beam, in STAAD Pro - std file attached.
while using the pipe section for the analysis, stress ratio is increasing for the pipe size of 102mmx25 thk to 254mmx25 thk
how the stress ratio is increase for the higher pipe size???
i have checked the track 3.0 of the member for the lower pipe size it is calculating the normal stress as 11.78ksi but for the higher pipe size i.e. 254x25mm thk it is coming 115.92ksi.
As per AISC design guide 9 there will not be any normal stress for pipe section. so why it is calculating the normal stress???

i haven't looked into your staad model i am just suggesting , i hope it helped.

I assume you are working in ASD, so my load factor was 1.0. Running it on my end I got a stress ratio of 0.49.

The greatest trick that bond stress ever pulled was convincing the world it didn't exist.
RE: torsion check in STAAD Pro using AISC 360-10
if you go for higher pipe size i found that increase in r is less than J, so if manually calculate it is
obvious that the torsional capacity of the pipe size 168.3x6.3 is higher than 101.6x6.3,
but in staad the shear stress is calculated correctly but the there is a normal stress also coming for closed section.
which is not correct as per aisc design guide 9

I'm not getting any "normal" (I.e. compressive/tensile) stresses on my end that don't match what hand calculations show that should be there for the flexural stresses. Keep in mind, you've got a 15 kip load mid-span, so you will have compressive/tensile stresses from bending (which must be combined with warping stresses [if any; as you say: there should be none for a closed section]).
