Structural design for Chutes, Pump Boxes, Launders & feeders

[hm5k]

Hello friends,

Please advice on me software for structural analysis & design of Chutes, Pump Boxes, Launders & feeders to select plate thickness and to provide adequate stiffeners and bracing to maintain the structural integrity.

Is this can be analysis& design with help of Staad Pro?

Anyone can share any sample design calculation for the same.

One source would be the flat plate section in Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain.
