STAAD Foundation Advanced Help

Add Self Weight & Modify Dead Weight Factor dialog box

Used to toggle self weight for the selected or all load cases and to specify self weight factors. This self weight definition is only applicable for Mat foundation as the program does not add self weight of the mat slab by default. For other types of footing like isolated or combined footing program automatically adds self weight for all service load cases. This self weight definition may be used to override default self weight settings for load cases including dead loads.

OK Closes the dialog and instruct the program to consider self weight for any load cases with Include option set.
Cancel Closes the dialog without considering self weight in any load cases.
