STAAD-PRO Assistance

[agbigsg]

I am modeling a reinforced concrete shear wall in STAAD-PRO as a surface and I would like to output the global forces on the surface: axial, in-plane shear, and in-plane moment. The results I'm reading are the Surface Forces at X and Y (LOCALS)at a location not at the bottom of the shear wall. Where could I ready this information from?

I do appreciate your assistance. Thanks!

You need to dig into STAADPro Manual to find out the proper model to choose from, and understand the limitations. I think you shall use "Floor Element" rather than "Surface" to get the base shears.

ADD: Understand the meaning of the outputs.
