5.51 Concrete Design Specifications for beams,
columns and plate elements
This section describes the specifications for concrete design for
beams, columns and individual plate elements. The concrete design
procedure implemented in STAAD consists of the following steps:
1) Initiating the design.
2) Specifying parameters.
3) Specifying design requirements.
4) Requesting quantity take-off.
5) Terminating the design.
Section 5.51.1 describes the design initiation command. Section
5.51.2 discusses the specification of parameters. Design
requirement specifications are described 5.51.3. The CONCRETE
TAKE OFF command is described in 5.51.4. Finally, the design
termination command is described in 5.51.5.
