Thanks

maybe I’d send the complete set up via email when I get to office probably Wednesday.

But they’ve removed many modules like concrete designer modules. So we are going to have to use rcdc to design all our concretes

Good evening Engr Hakeem,thanks a million for the wonderful work you are doing,God bless you. I am new to Staad pro, hence would like to know,if Staad pro has a detailed calculation sheet, same way Staad Foundation Advanced has. If it does,how can one access it please?

yes Staad has, if you are using a version earlier than update 4 then you can get a detailed calculation from Concrete designer module, But if you re using Update 4 then you have to get your calculation from rcdc. But for steel you just need to apply the track 2 command

Thank you for the swift response,God bless you.

Do you guys still use BS code for your concrete and steel design or you all have moved on to Eurocode?

I use BS code because of my Director.

Yes I still use BS code.

Some of our old folks are somewhat resistant to change
Left to me it's Eurocode o.

micxwell:

Yes I still use BS code.

I no longer use BS code...o

@hakeem4 pls bro, can you share a download link for the latest Staadpro V8i? I'm finding it hard installing the one I have on my new laptop with windows 10

I’d try and upload the setup on my google drive when ever I Get the chance. Hopefully Friday

thanks, I would be expecting

yungmin:

please your email address

hakeem4:

Most of the old Engrs used and are still using BS codes to design. It is not easy convincing them to switch over to Eurocodes.

yungmin:


lol, I'm on the hunt for it already. is etabs very user friendly?

Etabs will give Staad a run for its money

hakeem4:


errrrrm its more difficult than staad, cause of all the complex parameters you would input

I find Etabs easier than Staad sha

stanisbaratheon:


I find Etabs easier than Staad sha

probably because i started with staad and i got used to it. the only advantage etabs has over staad is that it produces more economic section when it comes to concrete design

Okay.

Ever since I downloaded that Staad connect Edition V22 update 2 I've not used it. You won't believe it

I know I will still come back to Staad no matter how I run away from it.

Right now for steel, I'm still trying to walk my way round CYPE 3D & CYPE CARD because generating shop drawings there is quite easy. More so, I like analysing and seeing things in real time as in the case of Etabs and SAFE.

Prota has upgraded a little though, with staircase modelling now possible on the actual model as oppose to designing the staircase in prota details in previous versions.


All in all one tends to stick to what works best for him.

The reason why i do not like prota ( i use prota alot also) is because it does not allow for intuition. I detail and draw everything myself. i have a draughtsman that assists me. i have seen cype 3d on youtube, decodedb was using it.

On the Prota issue, ABSOLUTELY!

CYPE is an interesting software. Though I'm still learning how to use it, but boy the designers of that software mean business.

So many important packages in one software is awesome. The ease with which you can run analysis and select sections is mind blowing.

Maybe I’d try and get the cype and check it out and compare it with that of staad

Good afternoon,could you please do a tutorial on the design of a 2 cell 3x3 reinforced concrete culvert
