HDR designs many concrete water tanks (round and square). We use STAAD to generate a FEM mesh and then use the stresses to design the concrete elements with load factors unique to ACI-350.

Hi, I am wondering when STAAD RCDC would be equipped with CSA A23.3? Thanks

It would be helpfull if modeled floor slab analysed in STAAD.Pro to be imported in RCDC for designing

Currently in staad foundation max/min bearing pressure is shown only for the compression cases.Incase the minimum pressure is governed in uplift case the same is not shown in the summary table.Same can be updated in upcoming revisions.Also the bea...

Currently, SFA uses the highest corner pressure to design the foundation size bearing on soil. Please revise the SFA program to have an option for a soil supported foundation (versus a rock supported foundation) and provide revised foundation sizi...

Currently RCDC works only in Euro code for water tank.. my suggestion is please consider IS:3370 for water tank design.
