Indian Codes - Concrete Design per IS 456 STAAD.Pro is capable of performing concrete design based on the Indian code IS 456 2000 Code of Practice for Plain and Reinforced Concrete. D8.E.1 Section Types for Concrete DesignThe following types of cross sections for concrete members can be designed.D8.E.2 Member DimensionsConcrete members which will be designed by the program must have certain section properties input under the MEMBER PROPERTY command. The following example shows the required input:D8.E.3 Design ParametersD8.E.4 Slenderness Effects and AnalysisConsiderationD8.E.5 Beam DesignD8.E.6 Column DesignD8.E.7 Bar CombinationInitially the program selects only one bar to calculate the number of bars required and area of steel provided at each section along the length of the beam. You may use the BAR COMBINATION command to specify two bar diameters to calculate a combination of each bar to be provided at each section. The syntax for bar combination is given below.D8.E.8 Element DesignElement design will be performed only for the moments MX and MY at the center of the element. Design will not be performed for SX, SY, SXY, SQX, SQY, or MXY. Also, design is not performed at any other point on the surface of the element.D8.E.9 Wall Design in accordance with IS 456-2000Parent Topic: D8.Indian Codes
