Design of Concrete Elements in STAAD: Part 1 - General Overview

[@josephlucas4115]

Hello let me propose some few topics if you have time please help with a video for a detailed demonstration like how you did in Steel design. 1.How to model different types of stair and perform design of those stair using plates in STAAD Pro,and how to perform deflection check by using vibration method and span depth ratio.Using BS 8110 or Eurocode or Indian Code a).Spiral stairs b).Quarter turn stairs c).Half turn stairs d).Helicoidal stairs e).Open well stairs f).Branching stairs 2.If a stair is designed independent without modelling the stair in my frame STAAD model, how can i consider these stair loadings in the STAAD model,refer to those stairs mentioned above 3.How to compute partition wall load and apply it as a floor load in STAAD model (Assuming that the partition location can be applied anywhere on the slab) 4.How to model a frame structure with flat slab using plates in STAAD model,and after analysis how to import that model and design that flat slab in RCDC FE. 5.As we know STAAD Pro do not have a direct method to model waffle or ribbed slab,but we can try to model the closely spaced beams representing the waffle or ribbed slab and design them in RCDC. 6.How to model ground beams in Staad model. 7.Another thing is when are you planing to implement the feature of beam deflection check in RCDC as we know in some cases we may have to increase the number of bars in order to satisfy deflection check citeria,but as of now RCDC does not perform deflection check of beams.And what is the alternative solution which one can use especially when we have a larger model,it will consume alot of time to perform deflection check manually. @surojit_ghosh

Please upload a video on modelling and analysis of shear wall and also on how to analyse plate mat, assigning support to plates i.e how to assign subgrade modulus and interpreting plate results

[@surojit_ghosh]

Overview of modelling and design of shear wall using finite element meshing will be discussed in the next part. I will try to upload a detail video on plate mesh generation for wall and slab using various options in STAAD in the next month.

Hello Engineer i have another request,in some cases we may have floor beams which are slant and also we have columns which are not straight,how can we tackle this problem when it comes to design using RCDC

[@josephlucas4115]

If you change the column size and update the analysis file,the beams properties dissapear,i think this should be fixed

Hello Engineer @Surojit is there any update about this?

[@illusionarchitecturalplann7655]

Sir how can i download RCDC V10 or later version

[@surojit_ghosh]

If you install latest version of STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition (V22, Update 8), then RCDC v11 will be automatically installed in your machine and you can use the basic modules of RCDC using STAAD basic license. Else you can visit Bentley software downloads page using the following link and download the installer file -- softwaredownloads.bentley.com/en/

[@surojit_ghosh]

@@arghyanandi7960 Yes, part of RCDC is now free with STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition and if you install latest version of CONNECT Edition, you can select the STAAD license to use this.
