Dear Sir,
You need to specify the load combination with DL+LL combination as EUDL parameter.
For example, if load combination 21 is 1.5 (DL+LL), in your design parameters, you need to add "EUDL
21 all" in addition to your regular parameters like FC, FYMAIN, etc.
You need to resize the section as brittle failure mode is not allowed in ductile detailing. Beam width or
depth should be increased.
As of now, this is just a warning. As per Draft Code, such large ratios will have additional consequences.
As the number of layers to place reinforcement is more, effective depth is reduced. Hence, you may
require more steel. A manual calculation is suggested to review sufficiency of design.
5. *** WARNING:LENGTH TO DEPTH RATIO FOR MEMBER 578 IS LESS THAN 2.5. DEEP BEAM IS NOT
DESIGNED. ASSUMING IT TO BE A PART OF A CONTINUOUS BEAM AND AWAY FROM THE CRITICAL
SECTION FOR ENHANCED SHEAR, ORDINARY SHEAR CHECK IS PERFORMED. OTHERWISE PROVIDE
ENSH AND RENSH PARAMETERS ***
If a span of a beam is broken up as a group of members due to cross beams, STAAD should be given
Combine parameter to inform that the series of beam members form a single span. Review the Combine
parameter documentation for more details.
Further, you wanted to know if Ductile Detailing is required in Pune. As per IS 1893 Part 1, Pune is in
Zone III. As per IS13920, ductile detailing is mandatory for RCC buildings in Zones III, IV and V. Hence,
Ductile detailing is required in Pune.
