Is there another way of using a built up section, at least on the main chord, rather than using tubular sections in this module? 


How does RCDC design two RCC beams crossing eachother?

When we design  two crossing beams in RCDC which intersect at a point , one of the beams is split into two and the other one is shown as single beam. Which one of these beams rests over the other one. I noticed the beam which is split into 2 has higher reinforcement than the other one.

I want design the connection of this truss as bolt connection, for Staad Pro Connect Edition Update 5 in section of connection design using AISC 360 code i don`t see bolt connection for trusses, do i have to install RAM CONNECTION stand alone software to design this connection or  Connection design in Staad Pro Connect Edition update 5 is capable of doing that but iam not aware of that?

Member Properties for a 2.5"x2.5" 14 Gauge Double Tube Cold Rolled Steel member in STAAD

$

I'm needing to assign member properties for a double tube 2.5"x2.5"-14 gauge in my model. When I enter the properties into the program via the "user table" tab it shows the member as a single tube (pdf attached). Is there a way to define the member as two distinct single tube members formed together to make a double tube? I have also tried using the section wizard but it keeps giving me an error.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Our IT department doubts with some evidence that STAAD crashes -that are occurring a lot- are the reason behind many files and folders disappearing without any logic reason. This happened to many PCs & Laptops. The files show next on the recovery tools as being deleted although none of us deletes anything. 

Ductility Design in RAM Concept

$

Hello,

I have a question regarding using "Ductility design" step.  If I assume that I wan't redistribute moments in my project (EC2 code implementation), is it appropriate just to delete "Ductility design" from design rules? Or some amount of redistribution is already taken into account in "strenght design" step and I can't just delete "ductility design" rule?

Thank you in advance for answer.

Pad foundation in RAM Concept

$

I have a question regarding pad foundations in RAM, I am new to RAM, have used it for suspended slabs but not for slabs on ground

The reason for the model (and not simplified software) is because the footing shape is irregular with 5 columns from the permanent structure and a central load from a crane. I added an area support representing the soil. Currently I have major shear reinforcing call-ups which does not make sense. I assume this is due to the way the design strips are modelled in. What is the best way to do design strips for pad foundations to get more accurate results?

STAAD RCDC keeps giving me BM - Detailing Failure no matter what parameter I adjust (beam dimension, material strengths, preferred bar spacing, etc.), I tried everything including checking Beam and Axial Force Design. Code used is ACI 318-14M. Just wondering how the software arrives at this conclusion so I can better understand it. RCDC gives little to no insight on why it gives failure reports.

Will RAM SS ever skip a story when applying wind load? For example, if I don't have a diaphragm at the 2nd story elevation, can I get the program to apply the wind pressures on the 3rd floor (as if the cladding were spanning from 1 to 3?

Thanks!

If you are designing a tilt-up wall, I understand that it needs to be a lateral member for analysis and design. Is it possible to have this wall be a lateral member, but also disconnect it from the diaphragm so that it does not take lateral load?
