Quality Assurance Program

STAAD.Pro V8i (SELECTseries 6) is a suite of proprietary computer programs of Bentley
Systems, Inc.. Although every effort has been made to ensure the correctness of these programs,
Bentley Systems, Inc. will not accept responsibility for any mistake, error, or misrepresentation
in or as a result of the usage of these programs.
Notes on Comparisons
In each verification problem, a table is used to summarize the numerical outputs from
STAAD.Pro with a reference or hand calculations. A difference column presents the percent
deviation from the reference, when a significant difference exists.
The deviation is taken as the reference value minus the value determined by STAAD.Pro, divided
by the reference value to express in percent of the reference.
In this context, "significant" is take as larger than a 1% (one percent) difference. When a
difference between 0.5% and 1% exists, then the difference is simply listed as "<1%". Otherwise,
the difference is listed as "none".
This level of significance is intended to reflect that small differences in rounding or calculation
methods do not present a realistic difference in the calculated result.

Deflection and Moments for a Plate-Bending Finite Element

Objective
To find the deflection and moments for plate-bending finite element due to a pressure load.
Reference
Simple hand calculation by considering the entire structure as a cantilever beam.
Problem
A simple cantilever plate is divided into 12 4-noded finite elements. A uniform pressure load is
applied and the maximum deflection at the tip of the cantilever and the maximum bending at the
support are calculated.
Plate thickness = 25 mm
Uniform pressure= 5 N/mm2
Plate length = 6 spaces at 50 mm = 300 mm
Plate width = 2 space at 50 mm = 100 mm

Size W12x26, L = 10 ft., a = 7.65 in2, Sz = 33.39 in3
From clause F1-2, page 5-45 of Manual, Lc = 6.85 ft.
From observation Load case 1 will govern,
Fx = 25.0 kip (compression), Mz = 56.5 ftkip
Area of compressive flange = 6.49*0.38 = 2.466 in2
Allowable bending stress, per Clause F1-8 (page 5-47 of Manual)
fb = 12. 1000 1.0/[10 12 (12.22/2.466)] = 20.1817 ksi
(kl/r)y = 120/1.5038 = 79.8, so fa = 15.38 ksi
Stresses per Table C-36 (page 3-16 of manual)
fa = 25./7.65 = 3.268
fb = 56.5 12/33.39 = 20.31 ksi
(kl/r)z = 120/5.1639 = 23.238, so F'ez = = 276.54 ksi
Equation H1-1, page 5-54 of Manual
3.268/15.38 + 0.85 20.31/[(1-3.268/276.54) 20.1817] = 1.078
Equation H1-2, page 5-54 of Manual.
3.268/(0.6 36) +20.31/20.1817 = 1.1576
Therefore, equation H1-2 governs and ratio = 1.1576
Member 2
Size W12x26, L = 5 ft., a = 7.65 in2, Sz = 33.39 in3
From observation load case 1 will govern,
Since L is less than Lc = 6.85ft, per Clauses F1-1 &F1-2 (page 5-45 of Manual)
fb = 0.66 36 = 23.76 ksi
(kl/r)y = 60/1.5038 = 39.90, so fa = 19.19 ksi
Per Table C-36 (page 3-16 of Manual)
fa = 8.71/7.65 = 1.1385, fb = 56.5 12/33.39 = 20.31 ksi
Since fa/Fa less than 0.15, apply equation H1-3 (page 5-54 of Manual)
1.1385/19.19 + 20.31/23.76 = .0593 + .8548 = 0.9141

Lc = 8.4 ft. Therefore

fb = 0.6 36 = 21.6 ksi
(kl/r)y = 132/1.8941 = 69.69,
so fa = 16.46 ksi per Table C-36 (page 3-16 of Manual)
fa = 25.5/12.6 = 2.024
fb = 112.173 12/62.66 = 21.48 ksi
since fa/Fa less than 0.15, use equation H1-3, page 5-54 of Manual
2.024/16.46 +21.48/21.6 = 0.123 + 0.994 = 1.117
Member 4
Size W14x43, L = 4ft, a = 12.6 in2, Sz = 62.7 in3
From observation, load case 3 will govern,
Fx = 8.75 kip (tension), Mz = 112.173 ftkip
Since L is less than Lc = 8.4 ft
fb = 0.66 36 = 23.76 ksi
Clause F1-1 (page 5-45 of Manual)
fa = 8.75/12.6 = 0.694
fb = 112.73x12/62.66 = 21.48 ksi
Combined tension and bending, use equation H2-1, page 5-55 of Manual.
0.694/(0.6 36) + 21.48/23.76 = 0.032 + 0.904 = 0.936
Member 5
From observation, load case 3 will govern.
Fx = 14.02 kip (compression), Mz =57.04 ftkip
Since L is less than Lc = 7.37 (per Clause F1-2, page 5-45 of Manual)
fb = 0.66 36 = 23.76 ksi
(kl/r)y = 60./1.52 = 39.47
so fa = 19.23 ksi per Table C-36 (page 3-16 of Manual)
fa = 14.02/10.6 = 1.32
fb = 57.04 12/56.5 = 12.12 ksi
Since fa/Fa less than 0.15, use equation H1-3, page 5-54 of Manual
1.32/19.23 + 12.12/23.76 = 0.069 + 0.510 = 0.579

From Chapter F of the AISC ASD 9P thP ed. specs., with Cb = 1.0,
(102,000Cb/Fy)1/2 =53.229
(510,000Cb/Fy)1/2 =119.02
L/rT = 192/1.79 = 107.26
53.229 < 107.26 < 119.02
Therefore Fb (as per F1-6, page 5-47 of Manual)
[(2/3) 36 107.26 107.26/(1,530,000)] 36 = 14.25 ksi
(Kl/r)y = 192/1.5203 = 126.29
so fa = 9.36 per Table C-36 (page 3-16 of Manual)
fa = 5.65/10.6 = 0.533
fb = 71.25x12/56.49 = 15.14 ksi
Since fa/Fa less than 0.15 use formula [H1-3, page 5-54 of Manual]
0.533/9.36 + 15.14/14.25 = 0.057 + 1.062 = 1.119

From observation load case 3 will govern, Fx = 24.06 kip (tension), Mz = 62.96 ftkip
From Clause F1-1, the allowable compressive stress is
fb = 0.66 Fy = 23.76 ksi
Since section is in tension, per Clause F1-5 (page5-45 of Manual)
fb = 0.60 36 = 21.60 Ksi
Choosing the larger of above 2 values, fb = 23.76 Ksi
fa = 24.06/10.6 = 2.2698
fb = 62.96 12/56.49 = 13.37
Since combined tension and bending, use equation H 2-1, page 5-55 of the AISC ASD 9P thP ed.
specs.
2.2698/(0.6 36)+ 13.37(23.76) = 0.105 + 0.5627 = 0.6677

Kl/r = 7.071 12/0.795 = 106.73< Cc.
Hence, fa = 11.6027 ksi (computed per equation 4-1)
Actual compressive stress
fa = 23.04/1.94 = 11.876 ksi
Therefore, Ratio =

Qs = 1.34 0.00447 (5/0.375)(36)1/2 = 0.9824
Qa = 1.0
Q = Qs Qa = 0.9824
Cc= 92.02 E/(QFy )]1/2 = [2.02 29000/(0.9824 36)]1/2 = 127.2238
(Kl/r)min = 5.657 12/0.99 = 68.57< Cc.
Hence, fa = 16.301 ksi (computed per equation 4-1)
Actual compressive stress
fa = 48.44/3.61 = 13.418 ksi
Therefore Ratio =

deformation and rotary inertia have been excluded from the model. The mass matrix is a
diagonal matrix.

Purpose

Blevins, Robert D., Formulas for Natural Frequency and Mode Shape, Van Nostrand Reinhold
Company, 1979, Page 240.
Problem
A flat circular plate is simply supported around the entire perimeter. The first six modes and
their associated natural frequencies are to be computed using the subspace iteration method
offered by STAAD. This problem demonstrates that the natural frequencies of an axi-symmetric
structure can be accurately computed utilizing a 180 degree model with the appropriate
boundary conditions.
24 STAAD.Pro
1 General
Figure 1-6: Diagram of circular plate
The 180 degree sector was modeled using radial lines at intervals of 15 degrees. Tangential
lines were then located utilizing a relationship such that the aspect ratio of the quad-plate
elements was approximately 1.0. All rotations normal to the plane of the plate were restrained.
In-plane translations for all nodes were restrained because the theoretical solution does not
consider in-plane effects. Rotations about the global Y axis for the nodes at X=0.0 were
restrained because this is a symmetry boundary. Z translation of all nodes on the outside radius
were restrained to provide for the simply-supported condition.
Figure 1-7: Finite model for half circular plate
It should be noted that the outside edge of the plate is a series of secant lines instead of a true
arc. This will result in a loss of about 1% of the plates true mass or about .5% of the mass that
is effective for this problem.
Therefore, it is not unlikely that a few natural frequencies will be lower than the theoretical
values instead of higher which is typical for a finite element analysis using plate elements. In
1 General
addition, a true simple-support condition for this problem would require restraining the
component of rotation that is radial to the outside edge.
Theoretical Answers
From the reference case 2 in Table 11-1, the first six natural frequencies of the plate are
described by the following equation:

*The reference did not tabulate a value of for the fifth mode of the structure, hence a comparison
with the theoretical value of this mode cannot be made.
All anti-symmetric mode shapes for the 360 degree circular plate were captured by the 180
degree model with a phase angle included in the calculation. Some of the difference between the
theoretical and STAAD frequencies is attributed to the loss of mass due to the piecewise secant
representation of the outer radius and, since this mass is about 1 percent lower than for a true
circular plate, it is not surprising that the first few modes are lower than the theoretical
solution.

Purpose
Compare theoretical answers to the STAAD.Pro solution.
Reference
Blevins, Robert D., Formulas for Natural Frequency and Mode Shape, Van Nostrand Reinhold
Company, 1979, page 258.
Problem
A flat rectangular plate is simply supported on all four sides. The first six modes and their
associated natural frequencies are to be computed for this structure using the subspace
30 STAAD.Pro
1 General
iteration method offered by STAAD.Pro. This problem also demonstrates that the mesh
refinement can be chosen to accurately calculate modes of interest based on the expected mode
shapes.
Figure 1-8: Simply supported, rectangular plate
L = 45 in., W = 30 in., t = 0.2 in.

A plate with an aspect ratio of 1.5 was used so that comparison could be made with theoretical
results tabulated for plates in the reference. An equally spaced mesh was utilized in both the x
and the y dimensions of the plate. The number of elements in each dimension was determined on
the basis of the highest mode of interest. Since the number of half-waves in the sixth mode is 3
in the length dimension and 2 in the width dimension, a node spacing of 3.75 inches results in
each half- wave being represented by four elements which means that no element will be
expected to deform in double curvature. The simply supported edge condition requires that
translation normal to the plane of the plate be restrained for these edge nodes. Rotations normal
to the plate were restrained for all nodes.

Problem
A three dimensional frame is analyzed for its natural frequencies and the associated mode
shapes using the subspace iteration method offered by STAAD.Pro.
1 General
Figure 1-10: Frame model
All dimensions are in inches.

The only entity present in the model is the general purpose three dimensional beam.
Cross-section Properties
All the beam elements have the same cross section:
Outside radius, Ro = 1.1875 in.

Inside radius, Ri = 1.0335 in.
Area = (Ro2 - Ri2) = 1.074532 in2
Moment of Inertia, I = /4(Ro4 - Ri4)
I = 0.665747 in4
Torsion constant = twice the inertia, for closed circular sections = 1.331494 in4
The expression for the shear flexibility factor is derived from the ratio of maximum shear
stress to the average shear stress:
= AQ/Ib
Where the four items A, Q, I, and b are properties of the half cross-section about the
centerline. For the circular section they are:
A = /2(Ro2 - Ri2 )
Q = 2/3(Ro3 - Ri3 )
38 STAAD.Pro
1 General
I = /8(Ro4 - Ri4 )
I = 2(Ro - Ri)
The final expression for the shear flexibility factor, for a circular tube section is:
3 3
AQ 4 Ro Ri
= =
Ib
(
3 R 2 R 2
o i )(R oRi )
= 1.993620
Hence the shear area is entered as
AY = Cross Section Area / = 1.074532 / 1.99362 = 0.538985 in2

Problem
The supports of a simply supported beam are subjected to an acceleration time history. The
maximum bending moment in the beam is computed for the first mode of the structure. This
problem demonstrates the capabilities of STAAD to calculate the correct modal response of a
structure utilizing response spectrum data.
Figure 1-11: Simple span beam
The STAAD model consists of 11 nodes and 10 elastic beam elements. Node 1 is completely
restrained with the exception of having rotational freedom in the Z direction, the remaining
nodes are restrained except for X and Y displacements and Z rotations. Node 11 is additionally
restrained against displacements in the Y direction to provide for the simple support condition .
Only the contribution of the first mode of the structure is considered.

Material Properties
L = 240.0 inches
E = 30 x 106 lb/in2
EI = 1.0 x 1010 lb-in2
m = 0.2 lb-sec2 / in2
h = 14.0 in.
From Reference 2, Table 8-1, page 108, the fundamental frequency of the beam is:
2
i EI 9.869 1.0(10) 10
fi = = = 6.098hz
2 2 m 2 (240) 2 0.2
The modal participation factor for the fundamental mode is:

1
0 m (x ) d x
= 1 2

0 m x d x
Where the first mode shape, (x) = sin(x/1)

1 x
m sin dx

= 4/
m sin dx
0 1
The maximum relative modal displacement is given by:

Amax = u0 max
Where:
u0 max = y''so /2 (DLF)max
- 2*6.098Hz
y''so = 1.0g
1 General
(DLF)max = 1.648 at 6.098 Hz

therefore:
Amax = 4(1.648)(386.4)/[(2)2 (6.098)2 ] = 0.5523 in.
The bending moment
M = -EI2 u/(x2 )
Where u for the first mode= A sin(x/l)
2 u/(x2 ) = -2 /l2 Asin(x/l)
M = AEI(2 /l2 )sin(x/l)
Mmax = Amax EI(2 /l2 )
at x = l/2
Mmax = 1(10)10 (0.5523)2 /(2402 ) = 946.351(10)3 lbin

Thermal Loading on a Simply Supported Rectangular Plate

Purpose
Reference
Timoshenko, S., and Woinowsky-Krieger, S., Theory of Plates and Shells, Second Edition, McGraw-
Hill, 1959, pages 162 - 165.
Problem
A rectangular plate is simply supported on all four sides. The transverse and longitudinal
bending moments as well as the deflections at several points on the plate are computed.
Figure 1-13: Rectangular plate model
L = 12 in., W = 16 in.
1 General
The plate is modeled using 1 in. X 1 in. size elements. At the corner nodes, all the degrees of
freedom are considered restrained. For the nodes along the four edges, rotation is permitted
about that edge.
From the Reference, equation (j), the expression for deflection normal to the plate surface is:
( )
t 1 + 4 2

sin
mx
cosh
my

w= 3 m = 1, 3, 5 3
1 cosh m

h m

where
mb
m =
2
From the Reference, equation (k), the expressions for bending moment per unit width are
Mx =
(
4Dt 1 )
2
sin
mx
cosh
my
h m = 1, 3, 5 m cosh m
My =
(
t 1 )D 4Dt(1 )
2 2
sin
mx
cosh
my
h h m = 1, 3, 5 m cosh m
Where:
= Coefficient of Thermal Expansion

t = Difference between the temperatures of the upper and lower surfaces of the
plate
= Poissons ratio
h = Plate thickness
a = Dimension of the plate along the x1 axis
b = Dimension of the plate along the x2 axis
E = Elastic Modulus
D = Eh3/[12(1 - 2)
= 12.0E-06 / F
t = 450 F
= 0.3
h = 0.3 in.
a = 12 in.
b = 16 in.

At Load Step 3
Equation of elastic deflection at cantilever tip
z = PL3/3EI +PL/GAv
P = 57.837 kip, l = 24 in, E = 29000 ksi, I = 138.0 in4, G = 11154 ksi, Av = 10.4323 in2
Thus elastic deformation
z elastic = [57.837 x 243 / (3 x 29000 x 138)] + [57.837 x 24 / (11154 x 10.4323)] =

0.066 + 0.012 = 0.078 inch
At Load Step 14
Equation of elastic deflection at cantilever tip
z = PL3/3EI +PL/GAv
P = 79.32 kip, l = 24 inch, E = 29000 ksi, I = 138.0 inP 4, G = 11154 ksi, Av = 10.4323
in2
Thus elastic deformation at cantilever tip
z elastic= [79.32 x 243 / (3 x 29000 x 138)] + [79.32 x 24 / (11154 x 10.4323)] = 0.091

+ 0.016 = 0.107 inch
1 General
Plastic rotation = 0.04 radian.

Since STAAD.Pro assumes small displacements (sin = ), plastic deformation at cantilever tip
z plastic = l x = 24 x 0.04 = 0.96 inch
Total deflection = z elastic + z plastic = 0.107 + 0.96 = 1.067 inch

Fixed Fixed Beam Excited by Harmonic Distributed Load

Objective
To calculate the deflections at two points along the beam at steady-state condition.
Reference

1979, pp. 108, 455-486.

85, 86.
Problem
Determine the steady-state displacements of the quarter and mid-span points of a fixed-fixed
beam subjected to a parabolically varying distributed load operating at a 7.5 Hz frequency.

E = 10.0x106 psi
L = 200 inches
I = 2/3 in4
A = 2 in2
Po = 0.1 lbf/in3
g = 386.4 in/sec2
The DYNRE2 run utilizes all 19 modes calculated by STAAD (Steady State analysis) for which a
value of 1.0(10)-10 times critical damping is assigned. A single forcing frequency equal to 7.5 Hz
is specified for the distributed load. This load is distributed to the nodes by calculating the total
integrated load for each beam and lumping one-half of this force to the respective i and j nodes.

Where i is the response phase lag relative to the applied force and c is the damping.

Since c = 0.0, i = 0.0

From reference 1, page 466, case c and page 467, case 29:

l xi (x) d x

1 + (i )i (i )i i i l 2 2 i i l
l l i l i l
Since the load is symmetric, this expression is zero for I = 2, 4, 6 ;

Therefore, i = 1,3,5, and: (-1)i = -1
And from the reference, i = i/l
So:

l i (x)P (x) d x =

Problem
Assuming the horizontal member to be very rigid, determine the stresses in the copper and steel
wires if the temperature rise is 10 F. Members 1 and 3 are copper and member 2 is steel.
Esteel = 30(10)6 psi, Ecopper = 16(10)6 psi

steel = 70E-7 in/in/F, copper = 92E-7 in/in/F
AX = 0.1 in2
w = 400 lbf/in.
L = 20 in.
d= 5 in.
Tip: When modeling, assume a large moment of inertia for the horizontal rigid member and
distribute of the concentrated load as uniform.

5 Static Plate/Shell Elements
Static Element 1
Problem
A cantilever beam is made of a tubular section. Using plate/shell elements calculate the
deflection at the free end and axial stress at the center of the beam for the following free end
loads:
P = 1,000 lb
Mx = 2,000 inlb
My = 2,500 inlb
V = 1,000 lb

228 STAAD.Pro
Figure 5-2: STAAD.Pro Model showing Node numbers
Figure 5-3: Element numbers at a) the middle section and b) the free end
(a) (b)
Average deflection for nodes 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99 and 10 due to load case 3 (My ):
d = [4(0.07431) +4(0.07384) +2(0.07374)]/10 = 0.074008

Static Element 1
Average deflection for nodes 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99 and 10 due to load case 4 (V):
d = [4(-0.41123) +4(-0.41124) +2(-0.41057)]/10 = 0.41110
Average bending stress for nodes 76, 86, 126, and 136 due to load case 3 (My):
= 4(5551.52)/4 = 5551.52 psi
Average bending stress for nodes 71, 81, 121, and 131 due to load case 4 (V):
= 4(42074.63)/4 = 42074.63 psi

Static Element 5
Objective
A simply-supported equilateral triangle is subjected to a linear thermal gradient. The
deflections and bending moments are calculated.
Reference

97.

Problem
The purpose of this example is to demonstrate the ability of STAAD to calculate the response of
a structure when thermally-loaded plate elements are utilized. The STAAD.Pro model considers
one-half of the plate, modeled using 49 quad elements and seven tri plate elements. For
specifying inclined supports, an auxiliary coordinate system is defined along the edge (see
second figure below) not parallel to a global axis.
E = 10(10)6 lb/in2

= 12 (10)-6 in/in F
T = Ttop Tbottom = 4500
t = 0.1 inches

The results show excellent agreement for displacements and for quad plate element stresses
except in the few instances where the magnitude of the answers is very small. The tri plate
256 STAAD.Pro
elements are lower order elements, and it is therefore not unusual for these elements to show
poorer agreement than quads where mesh size is smaller.

The origin of the x' axis in the reference is located at a/3, or 1 inch from the edge. Therefore:
x' = x-1
Upon substitution:
Mx = -22.5x
My = -22.5 (2 - x)
Mxy = 22.5y
w = 0.00585 (x3 6x2 + 9x 3y2x)

Objective
A circular plate is fixed along its perimeter. Using plate/shell elements, find the deflection at the
center, maximum bending stress due to a uniformly distributed load, and a concentrated load at
the center.
Reference
Timoshenko, S., Strength of Materials, Part II, 3rd Edition, Van Nostrand Co., 1956, pp.96-97, 103.
Problem
The circular plate shown below is subject to two load cases. Load 1 is a uniform pressure, w, and
load 2 is a concentrated force, P, at the center. Determine:
l deflection at the center for both load cases

l bending stress at the support for both load cases
l moment at the center for load case 1
E = 30,000.0 ksi
Poissons ratio = 0.3
r = 40 in.
t = 1 in.
w = 6 psi.
P = 7,539.82 lbs

a. In element 9 at node 10, My = 1,147.91 inlb/in. This yields bend = 1,147.91(6) = 6,887 psi.
b. In element 109 at node 127, Mx = 811.88 inlb/in and My = 800.33 inlb/in, the average of
which is 806.1 inlb/in.
c. In element 9 at node 10, My = 616.69 inlb/in. This yields bend = 616.19(6) = 3,700 psi.

Objective
A Cylindrical roof is supported along two circular edges. Using plate/shell elements, find the
vertical deflection at the center of the free edge, principal stresses at the center of the support
and center of the free edge (top and bottom of the roof plate) due to uniformly distributed
gravity load.

Concrete Institute, Vol. 61, May 1964.
Problem
For the cylindrical roof shell calculate the following deflection and stresses due to the gravity
load.
The vertical deflection, y , at the center of the free edge.
Principal stresses, max and min, at the center line section at the vertical angle (top and bottom
of the roof plate element). Principal stresses, max and min, at the center section of the free
edge (top and bottom of the roof plate element).
E = 4.32(10)8 psf
t = 3.0 in.
Poissons ratio = 0.0 in theory (0.01001 in STAAD)
w = 90 psf (uniform on surface).
L = 50 feet.

Static Solid 2
Objective
To find the displacement at the free end and normal stresses at mid-span of a cantilever beam
modeled with solid elements.
Reference
Hand calculation and STARDYNE Verification Manual problem 3.
Hand Calculation
Displacement due to Load 1:
PL 1, 200(15)
LL = = = 0.0003 in
AE 10 (10)6(6)
Rotate due to Load 2:

L2 = TL/(c2 ab3 G)
where:
a = long side of the cross section = 3 in

b = short side of the cross section = 2 in
c2 = 0.1958 for a/b = 1.5
G = E/[2(1+)] = 10(10)3 /(2(1+0.3)] = 3,846 ksi
L2 = 2000(15)//[0.1958(3)(2)3 3.846(10)6 ] = 0.00166 rad

6 Solid Elements
Static Solid 2
L3 = ML2 /(2EI) = 2500(15)2 /[2(10)(10)7 (4.5)] = 0.00625 in

bend = PL3 /(3EI) = 1000(15)3 /{3[10(10)6 ](4.5)} = 0.025 in
shear = 12/5*(1+)PL/AE = 12/5*(1+0.3)(1000)(15)/[(6)10(10)6 ] = 0.00078 in
L4 = bend +shear = 0.025 +0.00078 = 0.02578 in
Stress at midspan due to Load 1:
a = P/A = 1200/6 = 200 psi
b = My/I = 2500(1.5)/4.5 = 833.33 psi
b = My/I = 7.5(1000)(1.5)/4.5 = 2,500 psi

Note: The assumed NSF of 0.72 is comparable to the term Ae/Ag which comes out to be
5.11/7.08.
STAAD.Pro reports that it is unable to find a suitable bar arrangement to satisfy the
reinforcement requirement per ACI 318-99. However, this does not mean that it is impossible to
come up with a bar arrangement. When STAAD looks for a bar arrangement, it uses only bars of
the same size. It begins with the bar size corresponding to the parameter MINMAIN. If an
arrangement is not possible with that bar, it tries with the next larger bar size. If all the
permissible bar sizes are exhausted, the program reports that it could not come up with a bar
arrangement. However, the user may be able to satisfy the requirement by mixing bars of
various diameters. For example, 3 # 11 bars and 2 # 10 bars may satisfy the requirement. The
program is not equipped with facilities to come up with such combinations of bar sizes.
In fact, in the reference mentioned for the 1999 edition of ACI 318, the bar arrangement chosen
is 2 # 9 and 1 # 8. It proves the point that finding bars of the same diameter is not possible for
the 1999 edition based solution.

Result Type Reference STAAD.Pro Difference
Provided steel area per ACI 318-99 8.0 (8- 9.0 (4- none
(in2) #9) #14)
Note: In the reference book, the axial capacity provided is 141 kips, which is less than the
requirement of 144 kips. In the STAAD implementation of the code, any reinforcement
arrangement which yields less capacity than the required value is considered un-acceptable.
This is why STAAD reports a higher required steel than the reference book.

Problem
From the reference:
Verify that a built-up, ASTM A572 Grade 50 column with PL 1 in. 8 in. flanges and
a PL 4 in. 15 in. web is sufficient to carry a dead load of 70 kips and live load of
210 kips in axial compression. The column length is 15 ft and the ends are pinned in
both axes.
Refer to the reference for calculations.

Steel Design per AISC360-10- ExampleD-2

Problem
From the reference:
Verify, by both ASD and LRFD, the tensile strength of an L441/2, ASTM A36 [].
The member carries a dead load of 20 kips and a live load of 60 kips in tension.
Calculate at what length this tension member would cease to satisfy the
recommended slenderness limit. Assume that connection limit states do not govern.

Steel Design per AISC360-10- ExampleH.1B

Objective
From the reference:
Using AISC Manual tables to determine the available compressive and flexural
strengths, determine if an ASTM A992 W1499 has sufficient available strength to
support the axial forces and moments listed as follows, obtained from a second-
order analysis that includes P- effects. The unbraced length is 14 ft and the
member has pinned ends. KLx = KLy = Lb = 14.0 ft.
Note: A static analysis is used in STAAD.Pro as the reference supplies only the resulting forces
from an assumed P- analysis.
Reference
Design Examples, Version 14.0, American Institute of Steel Construction, 2011, page H-4.

Note:
* In the solved example, on page 4-14, the capacity is reported as Pn = 580 kips. Looking at
Table 4-6 on page 4-50, this happens to be the capacity for a 20 ft effective length, not a 16 ft
effective length. As per the table, the capacity corresponding to a 16 ft effective length is 634
kips.

According to page 16.1 - 97 of the LRFD 3rd ed. code,
Mp = Fy Z 1.5Fy S
For a W10X22,
0.9 (1.5Fy S) = 0.9 [1.5 (50)(3.97)] = 268 kip-in = 22.33 kip-ft,
which is lower than (0.9 Fy . Z) = 22.9. Hence, STAAD.Pro uses this limit state.

Objective
To check the bending capacity of the UB shape per AS4100-1998.
Reference
B.Gorenc, R.Tinyou and A.Syam, Steel Designer's Handbook, 8th edition, UNSW Press, problem 5.3,
page 112.
Problem
Check the suitability of a 360UB50.7 Grade 300 for the beam in Example 5.2 of the reference. This
solution relies mainly on AS 4100 and minimally on AISC [1999a], for example, to get basic
section properties. Omit deflection checks.
Comparison

Objective
To check the capacity of a member in axial compression plus bending per AS4100-1998.
Reference
page 168.
Problem
Verify the capacity of the beam-column which uses a UC section in Grade 300 steel. The column is
fixed at the base and braced at mid-point in weak-axis bending only. The top of the column is
pinned and laterally restrained by braces. Beam B1 and B2 are connected to the column using
simple construction to AS4100 Clause 4.3.4.
Permanent Loads:
From Beam B1: Py = 260 kN, Mz = -52 kNm

From Beam B2: Py = 78.1 kN, Mx = 6.248 kNm
Imposed Loads:
From Beam B1: Py = 190 kN, Mz = -38 kNm

From Beam B2: Py = 60 kN, Mx = 4l.8 kNm
Comparison
Axial Load N*(kN) 791 790.9 < 0.1%
Major Moment, Mx* (kNm) 119 119.4 0.3%
Minor Moment, My* (kNm) 14.7 14.7 none
Axial Capacity, 0.9Ns (kN) 2,870 0.9(3,192.4) = 2,873.2 0.1%
Major Capacity, 0.9Msx (kN) 310 0.9(344.4) = 310.0 none
Minor Capacity, 0.9Msy (kN) 143 0.9(158.8) = 142.9 <0.1%
