D1.F.1 Design Operations
STAAD.Pro has the capabilities for performing concrete design. It will calculate the reinforcement needed for the specified concrete section. All the concrete design calculations are based on the current edition of ACI 318 (unless a previous version is specified).
The design requirements need to be contained within a concrete design block, include the code reference, any modifications to design parameters and instructions as to which objects are to be designed.
