Difference between syntax of member loading in case of EQ definition And other load case detals in STAAD PRO

-

Hello, Everyone 
I am here writting about the difference between syntax of member loading in case of EQ definition And other load case detals in STAAD PRO.





Command for Member Weight other than EQ loading

The above shown fig describes about the application of member loading in load case details other than earthquake. There are various options for type of loading like uniform force, uniform moment,
concentrated force, e.t.c after selecting this we have to apply intensity and distances in case of uniform force.


In the case of earthquake loading we have to select firstly loading type then intensity of weight and starting distance. 

Command for Member Weight in case of EQ loading



Sometimes we define member weight in load case details and copy pasted it in staad edditor under 
earthquake load definition. Then we have taken care about the syntax as in this definition  starting distance is followed by intensity.

 In EQ definitions


 In other load case details


              You can see it in the given below video .




Hope this will help you. For any query, comment below.
 Thank you.😇

PEDESTAL DESIGN AND REINFORCEMENT

-
For small load carrying columns , the pedestals are designed without any reinforcement and with height less than three times its width. Generally hollow concrete blocks are used and the hollow place is filled with concrete. But this is only limited to small load ranges. But in the case of large load columns , construction and design of pedestals is same as reinforced columns for major loads. Reinforcement is also provided for the pedestals but the amount of reinforcement is 0.15% of its cross sectional area. Minimum reinforcement shall be 0.15% of crossection area (Refer clause 26.5.3.1 of IS 456 on pedestal having length less than 3*least lateral dimension) Minimum Bar dia - - Better use 12mm dia as minimum Maximum spacing - - 200mm (This is generally for mass concrete and the case of pedestal seems closer to it) Lateral ties - - Al around may be 10mm dia @200mm c/c maximum , But internal ties need to be provided ,may be ,at double spacing to connect opposite fa...

STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE FOR CALCULATION OF BEARING CAPACITY FROM STANDARD PENETRATION TEST VALUES OR N-VALUES

-

HOW TO CALCULATE BEARING CAPACITY OF SHALLOW FOUNDATION IN SAND FROM SPT VALUES OR N-VALUES  (IS-6403) STEP-1 Perform standard penetration test  on the location for which you want to calculate bearing capacity. This is done as per standard procedure given in IS-2131. Standard penetration test must be done at every 75 cm in vertical direction. STEP-2 Decide the depth, width and length of foundation for initial calculation. This is a trial and error process. In the first attempt, you can never get the exact size of foundation which will satisfy all of your needs. STEP-3 Apply necessary  corrections to the standard penetration test values . Calculate the cumulative average value of corrected SPT values from the base level of foundation to a depth equal to 2 times the width of foundation. STEP-4 Correlate the above cumulative average SPT value with the fig given below to find out the corresponding angle of shearing resistance (ϕ). Relation between ph...
