An approximate method
Modelling.
1)Always connect plate in anticlockwise direction and this should be
common to all plates.To see this go to label where u have plate
orientation command..
2)Always check that the connection between members and plates should
be node to nodewhich is the basic principal of Finite element.
To ensure this after modeling go to pull down menu in STAAD and check
a)Improper connected plate
b)overlapping plate
c)Check beam to plate connectivity
3)Dicretization of plate..please mesh element of smaller size ..dont use
1m x1m or 2 mx2m element size or 3mX3m
4)

Generally after the analysis u will find that SQX,SQY,MX ,MY and MXY are
governing.In case of plate result interpretation note that MX is along X direction
and MY is along Z direction..this is opposite to what we have for beam
memberswhere MX is about X and MY is about Y
If you feel that ur structure is going to experience good amount of torsionthen
the MXY becomes very important
Calculation
1)Area of steel from bending moment criteria
Design the section for MX and MY using SP16.
2)Area of steel from shear criteria.
Please note here STAAD directly gives the shear stress..U can refer SP16 (page
178) and provide shear reinforcement..Please note this are only way shear so u
can take this value at a distance d from face of column/wall.STAAD does not do
any calculation for two way shear..that u have to do manually.
