The results are Ok at best. If you are using staad pro and intends to import staad file in staad foundation than this is the software to use other wise there are a lot better software than this say: AFES, plaxis etc.
For combine footings and mats CSI Safe is also a good choice.
But than again...
ACI-318-08/UBC Load Combination States

Em= Omega Eh,
Where Eh = Base shear V.

I am using Staad prov V8i Build 05. It has a new Earthquake module. But it is not activated like other modules...rc designer, Ram connection etc. My question is
1) how to activate it?
2) What does it do?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks and regards.
Thank you all for your input.
BAretired ... the panel point you indicated is the very place the new platform would be fixed. but i will still check that if there is headroom I will definitely try out your suggestion.
Mike ..... I think that answers your question too.. The platform is not in...
Thanks Apsix,
No we cannot drop any extra trusses. we already have 24 truss frame.
Yes done that i fixed it in Fz and Fy but still not much difference.. however i will try to fully fix it and check the foundation for the support reactions.
3. That is a good idea.
4. Yes, i am particulary...

It is Steel Truss. Welded Connections , yes we have on site welding capability. We used Staad Pro to design the truss.
Plz find attached sketcheshttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=ba3e6bcb-7d9a-4b74-a084-cfee13e1ab8f&file=Load-R01_Model_(1).pdf
The already constructed truss has D.L of 40 Kn, now we have to add new platform to it. the Dead load will be double i.e. 80 KN.. we have checked that the existing truss cannot take this load. That is why we have to reinforce this truss.... I hope now it is clear. I am trying to upload the sketch...
Thanks for your reply Ron. I am located in Pakistan. And Yes i have not done this before . I have analyzed and designed trusses for code-applied loading but have no experience in reinforcing and already constructed truss.
This is a mistake on my part I should have been more clear. By deformation...
Dear all,
I am doing a project which involves reinforcing existing truss frame.. I have never done this before and personally do not know anyone who has done this. So if anyone having some experience in subject work can guide… refer to any book… preferable Code…
Please note that, the already...
Does anyone know any reference book or paper for the design of Wind turbine foundation in wetland/High tide area..What kind of foundation is recommended and how can i protect the foundation from wetland effect...??? Do i need to provide a kind of break water for protection...?? if any one has...
