Hi,
I am trying to model a composite beam (steel beam + concrete slab).
For this purpose I modeled my composite beam as a steel beam and plate elements.
I applied then an offset distance 0.95 m to the steel beams.
Now I see that the steel beam gets a very large axial force and the Mz moment at...
Hi friends,
Just wonder if any of you has any experience applying "ELEMENT RELEASE" command to release one or more degrees of freedom at the corner nodes of the elements?
Appreciate if you could upload a sample
Kind regards
Bill
Hi,
I am trying to perform a concrete design on plate elements as per NS3473 in STAAD.Pro V8i (Release 20.07.04.12).
Can STAAD.Pro design plate elements (slab design) for membrane stresses such as Sx, Sy and Sxy when setting TRACK=20?
What is your experience?
I will be glad to have your...
Hi,
When importing user defined sections from Section Wizard, does STAAD.Pro use the same axis (Z & Y axis) system as Section Wizard or does STAAD.Pro instead use the V & U axis
of Section Wizard?
I need clarification on this because I am dealing with some unsymmetrical steel shapes where the...
Hi,
Does anyone know When using MEMBER OFFSET command in STAAD the distance given is the distance from CG or shear centre?
What a bout open and unsymmetrical shapes where the CG and shear centre doesn't coinside?
Appreciate if someone could give an example.
Thanks
Hi,
Is this true that STAAD.Pro has some basic errors as follows?
STAAD.Pro does not take into account the eccentricity of the shear center of beam members and consequently you can't analyze asymmetric sections like channels or open cross sections where the CG and shear center doesn't...
Hi,
I am trying to perform a moving load analysis in STAAD.Pro on a steel structure.
Due to the geometri of the structre it is impossible to place moving loads directy on the girders.
In order to over come this problem I defined "DUMMY" beams with very small E. This way I could transfer...
Dear friends,
Would you please clarify following?
1) what's the major differnce between Prismatic/General Section Properties i STAAD.Pro when you make shapes in the Section Wizard program?
2) Say you generate a shape in the Section Wizard program and then export it into STAAD, when you make a...
Attached please find a part of steel construction (3D) in dxf-format.
I intend to model the beam through CG of the object.
Beam looks like as shown in "3D element.dxf"
Can any one please help to find following parameters so that I can make a "Prismatic Properties" In STAAD.Pro?
The following...
I’m trying to model a small steel bridge construction (3D) in STAAD.Pro.
The structure consists of girders HE500B (main beams) and cross beams HE100B
(secondary beams) which are 120 cm (0.12 m) over CG of girders.
I know that “MEMBER OFFSET” will do the job, but the problem is that I get...
Dear STAAD.Pro experts!
I wonder if you could helpe me on defining of a complex cross section.
I'm trying to model a steel structure that is built up with welded steel plates as shown in the attached file.
I've tried "Section Wizard", but it didn't work!
I wonder if it's possible to find...
Hi dear STAAD.Pro experts!
It will be great if anyone can help me on the following problem:
I'm trying to model a bridge shown in the attached file.
The bridge construction has 2xHE1000B as main beams (24 m) with centre line 3.6 m and transverse beams with centre line 1 m.
The bridge deck is of...
Hi friends!
I've modeled a simple supported slab of concrete 1 m x 1 m x 0.25 m in STAAD.Pro
then I applied a joint load of 100 kN at the center of the slab (in the middle of the slab).
The 1 m x 1 m slab is then
1) Meshed up 4x4 mesh (0.25 m x 0.25 m each plate element).
2) Meshed up 20x20...
I wonder if the total shear force on a plate element is the sum of SQX and SQY?
Is it correct to say that the total shear force is:
V=SQX x Plate thickness x Plate width + SQY x Plate thickness x Plate width
Appretiate if any one could help me out.
Thanks.
Bill
Dear StaadPro experts,
I'd like to perform a Buckling Analysis(Stardyne Engine)in STAAD.Pro 2005 to find Ncr (Euler's formula).
I appreciate if one of you STAAD.Pro expert help me on that.
Attached please find my input file.
My question is how load(s) must be applied on the structure...
In version 2006 of STAAD.Pro you have an option to plot stress contours by center stress or nodes stress which give very different results. which one is more reliable?
Thanks in advance!
Bill
Dear StaadPro experts,
I'd like to model a slab on wall with no solid connection (as roof of a reservoir). As you see in section 5.22.2 of Staad.pro Technical Reference manual, Releasing Fz, Mx, My will release all bending capability of plate. But as you see in attached file, you still get Mx...
Dear STAAD.PRO experts!
It's urgent!
I'm doing an bridge analysis. I offset all the beams below the transverse beams in different distance which matches the real case. The results show large axial forces in almost all the beams plus horizontal reaction forces. If I delete all the offset, the...
