Currently, when the Loss of Contact (LOC) value is changed during foundation design, STAAD Foundation Advanced continues the Post Analysis Checks (PAC) using the existing footing dimensions from the previous optimization. For example, with LOC = 0...

There is a maximum limit 6" for pile embedment and also for bottom steel reinforcing in mat foundations in SFA 2026. There is no code basis for this limitation and there are cases where this could be significantly larger. Currently is is making th...

This idea is intended to report an issue related to the calculation of nominal concrete shear using STAAD Foundation Advanced V2025. This calculation is performed using ACI 318-19 Equation 22.5.5.1(a), which applies only to non-prestressed members...

At present in RCDC beam reinforcement table in coming for reinforcement provided. It is becoming vary tedious task to see the actual reinforcement required at each location to compare the difference B/W actual reinforming required vs provided. So ...

For the design of concrete structures and foundations that will require permit approval in Canada, a recent code is expected. CSA code available in STAAD Pro Connect Edition is still CSA 23.3-94. Currently the latest code is 2019 but the 2014 is a...

Dear All, A minimum reinforcing ratio of 0.12% does not cover all European countries, for example in Romania minimum reinforcing ratio for isolated footing is 0.1%. Please if it possible to reduce from 0.12% to 0.10%.

Currently, water tank design is only available for the Euro Code. Please update for use with current ACI code.

Please include the ability to edit the pedestal height in footings created from STAAD Pro reference files. Currently, editing is blocked after defining "Top Level," forcing footing remodeling. This limitation impacts design efficiency and accuracy...

Dear Bentley Team, I am writing to request the implementation of the following features in STAAD Foundation Advanced 2024 to significantly improve the isolated footing modeling workflow: Direct Subgrade Modulus Assignment: Enable the direct assign...

Although the current version of SFA 2024 allows users to view the proposed reinforcement using the Detailing option and take a manual screenshot from the Report tab to include it in the report, this image must be added manually and can only be pla...
