Semi-Ridged Diaphragm With Sloped Roofs (Gables)
At one point RAM was not calculating diaphragm forces and taking these forces to the frames from a sloped semi-ridged diaphragm. Has there been an update so that it now applies loads from a semi...

Yes, looks like there is an issue in SP14.13330 implementation in Staad. We have tested with Indian code and ASCE code but they seem to be correctly reporting the Base Shear along X direction (as the...
View ArticleRE: Response Spectrum Analysis as per SP14.13330
It seems to be a problem. You can simply use the general mode of response spectrum analysis. In SP14.13330 Response Spectrum load case, the program reports the design Response Spectrum data- this can...

This explains it. This seems rather limiting should you have to go an delete a joint or change a connection. It would make more sense to have the ability of choosing the output order but I suppose that...
