Can you please elaborate your point? What exactly is your point? What do you mean by" What are the general formula to calculate the stiffnesses for various beams as demanded by Staad input"?
View ArticleRE: specifying staad support stiffnesses
how do you calculate axial adn rotational stiffness to input into staad? please give a sample calculations.
View ArticleRE: specifying staad support stiffnesses
Axial stiffness is determined by the term "EA/L" and rotational stiffness is determined by the term "GJ/L" where E is the elastic modulus , A is the cross sectional area , G is the shear modulus and J...

i was referrin to calculating axial and rotational stiffness for a support. please provide any example where you have calculated the support stiffness and applied this in the model. many thanks.
View ArticleRE: specifying staad support stiffnesses
In general, you need to first determine how much the support is vertical displacement due to the unit axial load , from there you can easily determine the axial stiffness. Similarly you can determine...
