Problem
Compare the AISC 360 LRFD strengths with STAAD.Pro's design output for the beam of V.05.1.
Reference
- STAAD.Pro V8i SS6, the same input file run by Sutranet (CODE AISC UNIFIED, METHOD LRFD).
Model
- The beam of V.05.1, Fy 345 MPa, Fu 450 MPa
- Given STAAD's section properties
Comparison
| Result | Section | STAAD.Pro | Sutranet | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| φMn, lateral-torsional buckling (kN·m) | F2 | 164 | 165.34 | 0.82% |
| φPn, flexural buckling (kN) | E3 | 839 | 838.83 | none |
| φVn, web shear (kN) | G2.1(a) | 478.2 | 478.17 | none |
| φPn, tension yield (kN) | D2 | 1820 | 1822.64 | 0.15% |
| Governing ratio | H1-1b | 0.412 | 0.4083 | 0.9% |
- STAAD prints φMn to three figures (164), so the 0.8% includes its rounding.
Reproduce in Sutranet CAD
- Open the project in the app (no sign-up needed), or download the file and open it with 📂 Import Job JSON in the File group.
- Run Analysis (Static) with P-Delta Analysis unticked and Design Code AISC 360.
The app works in SI units; results in kip and inch are converted (1 kip = 4.448 kN, 1 kip-in = 0.1130 kN·m, 1 in = 25.4 mm).
