    Any Staad Foundation Users - How do you like it?

    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...

    UBC/ACI Earth quake strength design

    ACI-318-08/UBC Load Combination States 1.2D+1.0E Where E = Earthquake Load UBC 97 Section 1630 States E= p Eh + Ev, Em= Omega Eh, Where Eh = Base shear V. My question is 1. Does Staad, Sap consider this equations when doing auto generation for load combination. because i checked staad...

    Reinforcement of existing Truss frame

    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...

    Reinforcement of existing Truss frame

    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...

    Reinforcement of existing Truss frame

    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

    Reinforcement of existing Truss frame

    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...

    Reinforcement of existing Truss frame

    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...
