Be sure to check the Minimum demand too (i.e. negative moments) since Max relates only to positive bending.

I have observed that even after using plastic parameter , staad is not designing for calculated shera 1.4 x elastic....It give only value.Regards,PN
View ArticleDESIGN AS PER IS 13920
There is a design parameter in stand namely PLASTIC. But neither IS 456 nor IS 13920 stipulates for plastic design of beam. In the above scenario, how this plastic parameter will be functional in stand.

It will help to know which Rule Set you are reviewing and which line item or "Value" from the audit. Or send the audit and/or file itself along with details of where to look.
