Hi Rajat,
A follow up question regarding tapered steel section:
How does STAAD calculate the deflection for this type of section (same image as above_Tapered)? I assume it will be based on individual element inertias and that deflection ratio will be different for each. But how about looking for the total deflection of the entire tapered section from start to end point? Is dj1 & dj2 command applicable for this? Currently i am using the deflection diagram but is not able to include in the report.
Thank you!
