STAAD Foundation Advanced CONNECT Edition V2023 | 770.1 mb The Bentley's STAAD development team is pleased to announce the availability of STAAD Foundation Advanced CONNECT Edition 2023 (09.07.02.099). This software is used for the analysis and design of isolated footings, combined footings, strip footings, pile caps and mat foundations. STAAD Foundation Advanced a software package for the analysis and design of a variety of foundations. These include general foundation types such as isolated, combined footings, pile caps, slab on grade or on piles (mat foundations), octagonal, strap, and, plant foundations such as vertical vessel and heat exchanger foundations. A part of the STAAD family of products, STAAD Foundation Advanced can import and update the geometry, loads, and reactions from a STAAD.Pro model after which it will design the foundation type that we want at those supports. If the type happens to be a pilecap, it can determine a number of pile arrangements and design the pilecap for the arrangment that we choose. Data can also be brought from spreadsheets (e.g., such as that in Microsoft Office Excel®) into STAAD Foundation Advanced. The output from the program includes customizable reports of the calculations performed, general arrangement drawings, and schedule drawings. The reports are a useful tool for line by line checks to determine the correctness of the calculations if the engineer wishes to do so. The program's graphical interface enables users to view the displaced shapes, shear and moment diagrams, stress distribution, and, reinforcement layout. For mat foundation designs, STAAD Foundation Advanced creates a finite element model of the mat slab on grade. Soil is treated as spring supports whose stiffness is determined based on the size of the elements of the FE mesh. The model is then analyzed using STAAD.Pro, and, design of the slab is performed by aggregating the results across elements that are clustered into design strips. The combination cases generated by SFA are in accordance with Section 2.3 of the ASCE 7-16 document for Strength Design, and, Section 2.4 of that document for Allowable Stress Design. Recall that for foundation designs based on the ACI 318 code, the concrete design of foundations must be based on combination cases for strength design, while soil pressure and stability checks should be done using combination cases for allowable stress design. (Strength cases are also referred to by the name Ultimate cases in SFA.) In SFA, a facility for generating these combinations is available in the General mode and in the Toolkit mode, with separate buttons for service and strength. Each mode of the program contains a table that comes populated with the factors for the respective load types. The following figure shows the facility that is available in the General mode.
In those instances where a certain load type is a candidate for both signs (positive as well as negative), multiple load combination cases, that account for all combinations of the sign, will be generated. Wind, Seismic, Wind on Ice, etc. are the basic cases that fall in this category. For example, a combination of Dead load with 0.6*Wind Load will produce the following combinations D + 0.6WxD + 0.6WzD - 0.6WxD - 0.6Wzwhere D is Dead, Wx is Wind Along X, and Wz is Wind along Z. Notice in the above figure that there is a check box in the second column, which if unchecked, instructs SFA that the combination case defined by that row should not be generated. Notes: - If the SFA model is created by importing the support reactions from the analysis of a superstructure model, such as from STAAD.Pro or an ISM repository, and if load combinations have already been specified in that superstructure model, the user can directly import the reactions for those combination cases which would eliminate the need to create the combinations inside SFA.- SFA allows the user to assign a few more types to the basic load cases than the ones listed earlier in this document. See the following figure.
Some examples are Wind on Ice (without any direction), Ash Mass, Crane, etc. However, these types are not mentioned in the ASCE 7-16 document, and consequently, there are no load factors available in the load combination table in SFA for that code. As a result, if we assign those types to any of the basic load cases, they will be excluded from the generated combinations. Users can avoid this by setting their type to the ones named User1, User2, etc. and providing a factor in the table under those headings. A warning to alert the user to this possibility is reported by the program if such a situation is encountered. Combined Footing Design STAAD Foundation Advanced now supports the standards for foundation design for China GB 50007-2011 Code for design of building foundation for the analysis and design of combined footings.
This feature is available through the General mode of the program. In the Toolkit mode and PLANT mode, the Chinese code is currently not available for these or other types of foundations. How does one create a combined footing job? In the section titled What’s New in CONNECT edition V9.1, the procedure used for creating an isolated footing job to the Chinese code was described.
The same procedure can be used to create a combined footing job.
The rules for performing the concrete design of the footing are similar to those for other codes. Users are urged to go through the various sections of the Technical manual for information on this topic. The sections of the GB 50007 code that are used in performing the various checks for combined footings are similar to those for isolated footings, and those are available as shown in the topic highlighted in the next figure.
Calculation report If the design of the footing is successful, a calculation sheet is displayed containing the details for the checks mentioned above, and the governing load case for each check. For a failed design, the cause of the failure has to be interpreted by reading the messages displayed in the Output Pane, which is the panel below the drawing area. The report can be obtained in either Chinese or English
DrawingsDrawings of the foundation plan and layout are also produced.
Solved examples Two solved examples that illustrate the procedure used for designing these footings is available in the verification manual of this program.
The SFA models for these examples are available in the Examples folder.
Implementation of the ACI Metric Bar database For all the foundation types in SFA for which design can be performed per the metric editions of the ACI 318 code, the reinforcing bar database that is used henceforth is per the specifications of that edition. Most of these editions have an Appendix where the bar details are listed. Shown here is the one for the 2011 edition.
Implementation of the Australian reinforcing bar database For all the foundation types in SFA for which design can be performed per the Australian code AS3600-2018, the reinforcing bar database per the Australian standards is now available. The source of this information is the Australian standard AS/NZS 4671:2001 with Amendment No.1
Pilecap module – identifying the individual piles with a number For the pilecap module, in the various places where the pile arrangement is available in pictorial form, each pile is now annotated with a number for quick identification. This enables easier correlation between the pile and the forces in the pile as reported in the tables for oneway shear, punching shear, etc., in the calc report.
Viewing the pile reactions for a mat foundation on piles For mat foundations on piles, a table that shows the pile reactions for all the piles of the current mat job for the selected load case is now available for viewing from a table named Pile Reactions in the output pane. Please note that the selected load case should be part of the current mat job if its reactions are to be displayed. This is because, the reactions are calculated only for those load cases which are included in the job and analyzed. Hence, if the selected load case it is not included in the job, the table will be blank for that case.
Miscellaneous enhancements 1. For combined footings, a table of soil pressures for ultimate load cases is now provided in the calculation sheet. This is to assist users who are interested in validating the shear force and bending moment values used in the various concrete design checks.
2. The name of the code used in the load combination generation is now mentioned in the calculation report.
3. Octagonal footings can now be designed per the Australian code AS3600-2018
4. For pilecap jobs, the loads applied at the top of the pilecap are now presented in separate tables - one for service cases, the other for strength cases. In past versions, this segregation was not available.
5. Pedestal design to various codes such as ACI, Australian, etc., is now available for many more foundation types.
6. For a mat foundation on piles, the pile reaction summary presented in the calculation sheet is now reported in two separate tables – one for service cases, the other for ultimate cases.
7. For pilecaps, the pile reactions are forcibly calculated as soon as the analysis is launched. This has been done because there are numerous ways in which data that affects the pile reactions can be altered. To avoid the possibility of an accidental omission in keeping track of those changes, as well as to avoid forcing the user to calculate the reactions manually each time such a change is made, the process of calculating the reactions has been automated so that the design of the pilecap reflects the most up-to-date changes in the input data.8. For pedestal design per the various editions of the ACI 318 code, the value of Pn,max is now annotated on the P-M curve.
9. For a mat foundation job, if there are pedestals beneath the columns, the program was failing to consider the pedestal weight for the analysis of the mat. This has been rectified.10. An error in the location of the column design load on the P-M curve for the Australian code has been corrected. This affects isolated footings and combined footings which have pedestals.11. An error in the calculation of reinforcement bar spacing for isolated footings designed to the ACI 318 codes has been corrected.12. The global setting for the value of the height of the pedestal for design for axial load + biaxial bending was not being honored for the Australian code. This has been corrected.13. Miscellaneous improvements have been made in identifying errors in input. For example, for vessel foundations, if time period is specified as 0.0, the user is notified of this through a warning message. Identification of empty load cases is another – these are load cases which have only a title but contain no load items.14. An error in calculating the bending moments in pilecaps under buoyant conditions has been corrected.15. For pedestal design to the Australian code, in version 9.2.0.34 of SFA, a check described in Clause 10.6.3 which says that columns can be designed to that clause only if their L/B ratio does not exceed 3.0, had been implemented, where L and B are the longer and shorter of the cross section dimensions of the column. However, the pedestal design implementation in SFA is not based on this clause. Instead, it is based on Clause 10.6.4. Hence, the above check is not applicable, and has been removed.16. For mat foundations designed to the ACI 318 codes, various numerical errors in the values shown in the plot of the moment capacity diagram and in the details presented in the calculation sheet for reinforcing zoning reports have been corrected. Also corrected was an error in the calculation of effective depth used in these computations.17. In past versions, soil pressure diagrams were being displayed for mats supported only on piles (meaning, no soil supports are present). This has been corrected. These diagrams will henceforth appear only if soil supports are present.18. An error in identifying corner piles for a vertical vessel on a square footing on piles has been corrected.19. Minimum steel calculation per the Eurocode was based on the full depth of the footing. This has been changed to effective depth as required by section 9.2.1.1 of Eurocode 2.20. An error that caused a failure to consider the column reaction loads for a mat foundation in some instances has been corrected. CONNECT Edition v9.2.0 Release Notes The following features have been implemented and/or enhanced since the CONNECT Edition V9.1 (Release 9.1.0.14) of STAAD Foundation Advanced. Australian code AS3600-2018 The 2018 edition of the Australian code with Amendment 1 is now available for design of isolated footings, combined footings and pilecaps in the General mode of the program. Isolated footings with the column located away from the center This feature, which was disabled a few versions ago, has now been restored. The user has to specify the offset distance along the global X and Z axis. In the General as well as Toolkit modes of the program, this is done through the Footing Geometry page. An offset is positive if it is along the positive direction of the respective axis. Similarly, a negative value should be specified if the column is located on the negative side of the corresponding global axis with respect to the center of the footing. The positive directions of the X and Z axis are as shown in the figure below. For the purposes of calculating soil pressures, and the footing area in contact, the loads acting on the footing through the column/pedestal are transferred to the center of the footing. Hence, the vertical force transmitted by the column will induce a moment at the center of the footing equal to the force times the offset distance between the center of the column and center of the footing. Bending moments, oneway and two-shears are calculated based on the actual position of the column/pedestal. As we know, the program supports two types of design: - The footing dimension is set by the user – also known as Set Dimension.- The user instructs the program to calculate a suitable dimension – also known as Calculate Dimension. The offset values of the column/pedestal are considered to be constant for both types of design. In other words, the column/pedestal is assumed to be at a fixed distance away from the center of the footing, as defined by the X and Z offsets, regardless of the footing size computed by the program. For the purposes of calculating the overturning and restoring moments for stability checks, the rules described in the following figure are used. Factor of safety against overturning = Restoring moment / Overturning moment In the above figure, P is the vertical load, H the horizontal force and M the bending moment transmitted into the footing by the column or pedestal. The program output is along the same lines as that for isolated footings without any eccentrically located column/pedestal. Pedestal Design Enhancements Pedestal design is now available in a few more modules of the program. The output too has been enhanced to include the P-M values for the provided reinforcement in a tabular form in the calculation report. In the General mode of the program, the P-M curve of the values in that table is also provided. The following table provides a summary of the pedestal design capabilities currently available in the General and toolkit modes of the program. Horizontal vessels – reports of stability checks for sliding For horizontal vessels, the results of stability checks for sliding are now reported in the calculation sheet. Results of checks against overturning have been available in the calculation sheet in past versions. Pilecaps – reporting the pile reaction summary for service load cases For the pilecap foundation in the general and toolkit modes, the maximum pile reactions for lateral, vertical and uplift for service load combinations are now reported in the calculation sheet. This feature is now available for several design codes (but not all). Improvements in the creation and presentation of results in the calculation report In past versions, a single calculation report was created that included the results of successful design of footings or pilecaps for every support that was included in the job. If the amount of data such as the number of load cases or number of supports was large, it often led to significant time taken in displaying the report and in printing it or saving it as a PDF because this report ran into dozens or even hundreds of megabytes of data. In this version, the reporting system has been changed so that they are created and displayed only for one support at a time. Thus, a giant single document holding the results of all the foundations designed in a job has been replaced with multiple calculation sheets. Once the analysis/design for the current job is completed, the program will shift the focus automatically to the View menu, and, the Calculation Sheet for the first support in the job will be displayed. One can change the support number from the drop-down list in the menu bar, and, the corresponding Calculation Sheet will get loaded. For printing it or saving it as a PDF, the Print Calculation Sheet button has also been moved to the top of the sheet so that the extra step of scrolling to the bottom of the page can be avoided. Mat foundations - Report showing details for load cases for which static equilibrium is not met For mat foundations, the analysis of the mat may not be successful due to reasons such as - a low vertical load combined with a high overturning moment may result in all the soil springs losing contact with the soil. Such cases are usually characterized by instability warnings in the output file for the STAAD.Pro FE model of the mat, large displacements, and a failure to meet static equilibrium for those load cases. For those load cases, as shown in the next figure, a report titled "Static Equilibrium Mismatch Report" showing the total applied loads and total reactions is now provided in the calculation sheet. It also contains a row titled "Difference" in which non-zero values indicate the degrees of freedom for which the equilibrium is not satisfied. Additionally, a warning will be shown in the output pane listing those load cases. Multiplying factor for surcharge loads In past versions, for the purpose of computing the soil pressures for service load cases, and for the stability checks (overturning and sliding), the surcharge load on footings was treated as a dead load. Thus, in the various load combinations, it was multiplied by the same load factor with which the dead load and selfweight of the footing was multiplied by. Based on requests from various users, a greater amount of flexibility has been introduced in this version in how surcharge load should be treated. Thus, if the user wants SFA to use one load factor for concrete deadweight and soil weight, and another load factor for surcharge, on a load case by load case basis, he/she can now do that in the manner described here. General Mode - Isolated, Combined footings and pilecaps for the ACI code : In the Apply Selfweight and Dead weight factor table, a separate column is now available for Surcharge in which users can specify the load factor that should be used for that load item in the individual load combinations.
For example, if one of service load combination that is being solved for finding the soil pressures happens to be 0.9*DL + 1.1*LL then, if the user chooses to treat surcharge pressures as a a. dead load, the multiplying factor used will be 0.9b. live load, the multiplying factor used will be 1.1STAAD Foundation Advanced a software package for the analysis and design of a variety of foundations.
