My question relating to Concrete Design in RCC framed structure:

1. Effective length factor for column is automatically calculated by STAAD pro based on analysis or it to be entered manually? If it to be entered manually then any data for same is available in STAAD analysis?

2. If I use analysis from STAAD pro and Column designs by RCDC then Effective length factor for column is automatically calculated by STAAD pro based on analysis or it to be entered manually? If it to be entered manually then any data for same is available in STAAD analysis?
