STAAD PRO DESGIN
STAAD PRO DESGIN
(OP)
greetings for every body,
I have one question, which is better when I want to design multistory steel building (five floors). using STAAD or ETABS according to American code??
I think STAAD is better in steel design but it has some limitation for example.it can't take the eccentricity for wind load cases as figure27.4.8 in ASEC (ETABS can do this).
also STAAD can't deal with composite section if the width of concrete at the top flange bigger than the top flange
so any one can tell me his opinion in ETABS or how can I solve these problems in STAAD
I appreciate any advise form you ,
thanks in advance

RE: STAAD PRO DESGIN
I agree with you for the wind issue, however it will take some time but it can be handled manually
but in the other hand,
the wide flange with asymmetric flanges still not solving the problem for composite section I can't depend on it in design for steel floor ...if the concrete width of composite beam about 1 meter and the I section flange was 300mm I can't simulate it in staadpro

RE: STAAD PRO DESGIN
I have modeled an underground manhole (RC) in STAADPRO with axial load, load due to backfilling and surcharge load.
I would like to know the max moment and max axial load to be used for my RC design.
Any help?
RE: STAAD PRO DESGIN
Please find below link of parametric modelling software for STAAD.Pro.
It makes engineers' works much more easier and concentrate more on real engineering instead of modelling works. Especially the customized wind load input and sections etc.
