Project 1
- Aim:- To Model and Desogn a Proposed Coil Centre in Chennai using STAAD Pro.
- Procedure:-
- Step 1:-
- First we have model and design a Main Frame with Lean (Grid 2).
- Open STAAD Pro Software, and create a new file.
- In Geometry Tab, Create a Main frame model using Nodes, Beams and Mirror commands as shown below.

- Step 2:-
- Select Properties Tab, and create a Sections in Section Database.
- And Assign the sections to the members as shown below.

- Step 3:-
- In Specification tab, create and assign the Moment Release to the required beams.

- Step 4:-
- Select Support Tab, create Fixed and Pinned Supports.
- Then assign the Fixed support to Main Frame column and Pinned support Lean column

- Step 5:-
- Then Prepare inputs for loads.
- Dead Load Calculation:
- Given data:-
- Dead Load = 0.14 kN/m2 (for main portion without false ceiling)
- Collateral Load = 0.15 kN/m2
- Total Dead load = 0.14 + 0.15 kN/m2 = 0.29 kN/m2 (for roof extension)
- Let’s Assume Purlin and Girt weight as 8.77 kg/m
- Bay Spacing = 10m
- Therefore,
- Purlin Load on Roof = 8.77 x 10/2 = 43.85 kg = 0.44 kN
- Purlins on Wall:
- Total number of Purlin in Near Side wall = 5
- Total number of Purlin in Near Side wall (Crane supported column) = 3
- Total number of Purlin in Far Side wall = 2
- Therefore,
- Purlin Load on NSW = 5 x 8.77 / 6.1 = 7.2 kg/m2 = 0.072 kN/m2
- Purlin Load on NSW = 3 x 8.77 / 3.5 = 7.52 kg/m2 = 0.075 kN/m2
- Purlin Load on FSW = 2 x 8.77 / 2.1 =8.35 kg/m2 = 0.0835 kN/m2
- Total DL over truss = (0.14) x 10 = 1.4 kN/m
- Total DL over Cantilever portion = (0.29) x 10 = 2.9 kN/m
- Total Dead load on NSW = (0.14 + 0.072) x 10 = 2.12 (above crane supporting column)
- Total Dead load on NSW = (0.14 + 0.075) x 5 = 1.075 (in crane supporting column)
- Total Dead load on FSW = (0.14 + 0.0835) x 10 = 2.24 (on wall above cantilever)
- Gantry weight = 158.24 kg/m
- Rail weight = 53 kg/m
- Weight on bracket = 211 x 5 = 1056 kg = 1056 kN
- Lattice tie of 200 kg is between the column
- Load on column = 200 /2 = 100 kg = 1kN as joint load
- Totally 9 Purlins
- Load on column due to Purlins = (9 x 8.87 /11.1) = 7.2 kg/m2 = 0.072 kN/m2
- Load on column = 0.072 + 0.14 = 0.212 kN/m2 = 0.212 x 10 = 2.12 kN/m
- Live Load Calculation:
- Given data:-
- Live Load = 0.75 kN/m2
- Live Load on Rafter = 0.75 x 10 = 7.5 kN/m
- Wind Load Calculation as per IS 875 Part III:
- Given data:-
- Wind speed = 50m/s
- K1 = 1; K2 = 0.94 (terrain category 3); K3 = 1; K4 = 1.15 (cyclone zone)
- Ka = 1; Kd = 0.9; Kc = 0.9
- Basic wind speed Vb = 50 m/s ( For Chennai as per IS 475 part-3 Fig. 1)
- Design wind speed Vz = Vb x K1 x K2 x K3 x K4
- Therefore Vz = 1.0 x 0.94 x 1.0 x 1.15 x 50 = 54.05 m/s
- Wind pressure Pz = 0.6 (Vz)2
- Where,
- Pz = wind pressure at height z in N/m2
- Vz = design wind pressure at height z in m/s
- Therefore
- Pz = 0.6 x (54.05)2 = 1.752 kN/m2
- Design wind pressure Pd = Kd x Ka x Kc x Pz
- Therefore
- Pd = 1.0 x 0.9 x 0.9 x 1.752 = 1.419 kN/m2
- Wind load acting in a direction normal to the individual structural element or cladding unit
- F = (Cpe – Cpi) x A x Pd
- Where,
- Cpi = internal pressure coefficient
- Cpi = +0.5 and -0.5 for opening of 15% of wall area i.e. medium permeability (Clause 7.3.2.2 of IS :475, part 3)
- External pressure coefficient:
- L = 140 m; w = 41 m; h = 11.7 m
- h/w = 11.7 / 41 = 0.29
- l/w = 140 / 41 = 3.41
- Thus as per table 5 of clause 7.3.3.1 of IS:475, Part 3
- For h/w < 1/2 and 3/2 ≤ l/w < 4

- For Cantilever portion alone reduction due to area averaging.
- Ka = 0.85 (since tributary area is 10 x 6 = 60 m2)
- Thus kd x ka x kc < 0.7 Taken as 0.7 (upper limit)
- Pd = 0.7 x 1752.8 = 1.23 kN/m2

- Crane Load Calculation:
- Capacity = 30MT
- Selfweight = 35MT
- Vertical impact = 1.25
- Load for Left end = 1.25 (300 + 175) = 593.75 kN
- Lateral Impact = 0.2 x Crane Weight = 0.2 x 35 = 7 kN
- Half of the Selfweight of Crane acting on the other side.
- Step 6:-
- Select Loading Tab, add Earthquake, Dead load, Live load, Wind load, Crane load and Load Combinations as shown below.
- Then Assign the above loads and load combinations to the members as shown below.


- Step 7:-
- Now go to Analysis Tab, and click Define Commands.
- Then create and assign Perform Analysis at each end of Earthquake load and Final of commands.

- Step 8:-
