STAAD Concrete

I would suggest SFA to add an option exporting designed combined footing and raft foundation to RCDC for detailing as we know RCDC is powerfully in producing structural drawings

Staad foundation advance (SFA) has an option to assign plates of various thickness, but it should also have an option to model such plates in TRAPEZOIDAL PATTERN as shown in below images,which is frequently used to model raft foundation, also plac...

When the basement shear wall is modelled along with intermediate columns as shown in image, and such columns supposed to designed in RCDC , then RCDC devides the length of columns into small length/small segments as per meshing of adjacent shear w...

There are several methods to model shear wall/slab/mat in staad CE, broadly by physical modeller and analytical modeller, as far as the analytical method is considered, slab/mat/shear wall can be modelled through various techniques, like plate ele...

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

when I use RCDC, the column failed to crack-width,but I want to know the result of failed column crack-width value and calcute to deside how to update the model, update Longitudinal reinforcement or stirrup

Currently in Column Design, RCDC has a limit on the maximum value of the effective length factor and users cannot modify this limit value 5. I want RCDC to lift the restriction on this factor. In my case as per attached staad, Column effective len...
