Note:
This procedure is very useful in the older version of Staad Pro due to the fact that in the
OLDER version, load list in load cases differ from the load list in load definition.
In the latter version of Staad Pro 2007, you can just copy paste the loads from the load
cases to the seismic definition and let Staad will do the entire process of analysing
weights but of course there is a need to carefully change some load name, e.g. instead
of floor load that will be floor weights Member Load will be Member weight etc. It's
much easier. This method of analyzing Earthquake analysis by direct method as
MEMBER WEIGHT METHOD is explained separately.

METHOD: 3
Reference Loads is a powerful tool in STAAD Pro that expands users options for setting
up load cases and improves their overall efficiency. Reference Loads are useful because
they are not explicitly solved during the analysis, but rather exist only as building blocks
to be included in creating primary load cases. In this sense one can think of Reference
Loads as load definitions.
They are particularly helpful for large models, which often contain many load cases that
do not require analysis in their own right, including seismic, wind, or live load acting
alone. Users can create multiple reference loads and then have STAAD.Pro solve only a
limited number of real load cases. By limiting the loads examined, the user can
significantly reduce the time required for analysis.
Reference Loads are defined in the General Load & Definitions page of the Modeling
Mode, which can be accessed by clicking the appropriate tabs on the left-hand side of
the screen (circled in Figure 1):
Figure 1
Once a Reference Load case has been created, follow these steps to input load items.
This process, too, is exactly the same as for primary load cases:
3. Define the load items, selecting from the list of loads on the left,
At this point the Reference Load definition is complete. The next step is to include the
Reference Loads in primary load cases, as follows:
(iii) Select the required defined Reference Load cases and click [>] to include them
in the current primary load case. Clicking [>>] will include all defined Reference
Load cases. You can add appropriate combination factors for each reference
load.
The format of the definition of a Reference Load (i) in the data file is as follows:
(Load items)
....
The format of a reference to a Reference Load in a primary load (j) case is as follows:
REFERENCE LOAD
R(i) 1.0
Reference Loads are very helpful when creating a seismic load definition. Consider, for
example, a situation in which the dead loads have been defined as Reference Loads.
Instead of manually inputting the dead loads a second time in the seismic definition,
you can simply refer to the Reference Load case, which is listed in the seismic definition
dialog box as seen below.

(1) Copy the actual member weight in Load case 2 and paste it below Member weight
below the existing load value. Do the following changes:
(i) Delete the existing member weight
(ii) The ve sign changed to +ve sign . GY to be deleted.
(2)Below Floor weight:
Copy the actual floor load under slab load and paste it below the existing load in
Floor weight. Do the following changes:
(i) The existing Floor load to be deleted.
(ii)The -ve sign changed to +ve sign to be deleted.
(3) Remove the load comb from the input file. Then add the seismic load as follows:
Click load case details Add.
Number 4 Loading Type: Seismic
Title: EQ in X +ve Add.
Number 5 Loading Type: Seismic
Title: EQ in X -veAdd.
Number 6 Loading Type: Seismic
Title: EQ in Z +ve Add.
Number 7 Loading Type: Seismic
Title: EQ in Z -veAdd Close.
4. Edit the input file as follows:
In Seismic analysis EQ load should be defined first. In this case it is case No.4 to 7.
Change the load cases 4 to 7 as load case No. 1 to 4 and cut and paste it below Floor
weight after zone factor value.
5. Create a new load case No.5 as Dead Load. In that include the self weight, Member
Weight, Floor weight originally created in load cases No. 1 to 3.
Now change the floor load for Dead Load value only in the existing load case.
6. Copy the floor load in Dead Load case No. 5 and paste in place of newly created
Load case No. 6 as Live Load. Now change the floor Load value as live load value.
7.Change command in between EQ forces:
High Light Load case 3: EQ in Z+Ve.

Go to modeling mode.
Select Column (at bottom portion) Double click the columnConcrete design. Check
the bottom most storey column. If some columns in GF inner are failed, change the
size of the column for inner portion and again run the analysis, verify the result.
Similarly check the beam by double click the particular beam for find the reinforcement.
If all are passed ok. Otherwise revise the beam section if failed.
