    This document provides the format and example for specifying tapered I-shape member properties in STAAD. The general format includes 7 values - the depth at the start and end nodes, web thickness, top flange width and thickness, and bottom flange width and thickness if specified. An example is given using the TAPERED keyword and 7 dimensions to define a tapered member between nodes 1 and 5.

    3 Tapered Member Specification

    5.20.3 Tapered Member Speci cation


    The following commands are used to specify section properties for tapered I-shapes.

    General Format
    argument-list = f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 (f6 f7)

    Where:

    f1 = Depth of section at start node.


    f2 = Thickness of web.
    f3 = Depth of section at end node.
    f4 = Width of top ange.
    f5 = Thickness of top ange.
    f6 = Width of bottom ange. Defaults to f4 if left out.
    f7 = Thickness of bottom ange. Defaults to f5 left out

    Example
    MEMBER PROPERTY
    1 TO 5 TAPERED 13.98 0.285 13.98 6.745 .455 6.745 .455

    Notes
    a. All dimensions (f1, f2, .....f7) should be in current units.
    b. f1 (Depth of section at start node) should always be greater than f3 (Depth of section at end node). You
    must provide the member incidences accordingly.
