Hello,
I want to analyze the structure for both ASD and LRFD load combinations and design parameters. I am doing different iterations to evaluate unity check for different sections. STAAD is giving me very odd results if I use ASD parameters vs LRFD parameter. For example, with LRFD design parameters the unity check is coming out as around 1.3 but same section in ASD is giving me unity check of 130.00. which doesn;t make any sense.
I will really appreciate your response to understand the issue.
Thanks.
