Week 1 Challenge

1.Name the three ways by which you can create a model.

The three ways by which we can create a model are as given below:- 

1. Analytical model

2. Physical model

3. Building planner model

2. Explain the coordinate system adopted in STAAD Pro software.

The coordinate system adopted in STAAD.Pro software namely X, Y and Z axis. The basic commonly coordinate system adopted in STAAD.Pro is:-

a) Local axis:- Local axis is variable in nature.

b) Global axis:- Global axis is fixed which has three coordinates namely global x, global y and global z axis

Basically STAAD.Pro uses a conventional structural system and in this case height of the structure refers to global Y axis  

3. Explain the difference between Fixed and Fixed But conditions.

Fixed condition:- Fixed condition is the condition where all the three degree of freedom that is horizontal or vertical or fixed are been completely restrained

Fixed but conditions:- The Fixed But support condition is used to allow the user to define which degrees of freedom of a node are free and which are fixed.

4. How will you assign Unit system to a .std model file?

Go to view > Select different view position

The different types of views are as given below:-

a) Isometric view

b) Top view

c) Bottom view

d) Left view

e) Front view

f) Right view

g) Back view

1. Create a STAAD Model with the following Specification
a. A beam of span 16m
b. Support : Fixed on one end and Roller support(Horizontal) on the other end
c. A point load of 50 kN at the mid-point
d. Draw SFD and BMD using software

AIM:- To create a STAAD model with the following specification:-

a) A beam of span 16 m

b) Support : Fixed on one end and roller support on the other end

c) A point load of 50 KN at the mid-point

d) Draw SFD and BMD using software.

INTRODUCTION :- All the steps are going to be explained with step by step procedure.

PROCEDURE:- 

  • Open STAAD. Pro Connect Edition software
  • Select file name and save it to the specified folder

  • Create node by using specified distance 16 m

  • Create beam element by using geometry option

  • Draw it by using connecting two nodes

  • Go to property section to define its property

  • Define its property by using specified dimension such as depth and width is equal to 0.45 m for concrete material

  • Assign it 

  • Assign the support specifications by using fixed on one end and roller support

 

  • Define load cases by adding dead load and live load

  • Add load details for each dead load and live load

  • Assign the live and dead load for the selected beam

  • Run the analysis and go to post processing mode

  • Go to post processing mode and check its label

  • Increase its scale to view its results

  • Results are been noted down for BMD and SFD are shown below

RESULTS: STAAD model has been created and the SFD and BMD diagram have been noted down it carefully
