Can staad plates can analyze and design a shear wall?
If can meaning plates can carry shear force and axial forces?
Because I'm designing residential and client want as soon as possible they want column should same width of a hollow blocks let say 200-250mm.
I know staad.pro can design column in rectangular, square and circular shape only, I'm thinking to use plates in designing columns such as L-shape, and T-shape.
Anyone can say about it?
Thanks
