To study in detail about Staad pro

INTRODUCTION

STAAD.Pro is one of the popular software that is used for analysing & designing structures like – buildings, towers, bridges, industrial, transportation and utility structures

PROCEDURE

1.1 Write the steps involved to upload a .std file through web mail?

Open Staad pro software

Select the option Share from the First window

Select the File name and File location

Click on send mail option

1.2. Name the different materials that can be designed using STAAD Pro

Concrete
Wood
Steel
Composite sections

1.3. Is it possible to capture images in STAAD Pro? If yes how?

Yes it is possible

The option is possible using utilize tab

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

Analytical model
Physical model
Building planner model

5. Write the steps followed to assign properties in a model.

Select properties option
Select define option
Select the geometry and assign size
Select the material to assign

1. Name any six design parameter involved in RCC design.

Modulus of elasticity
Density
Yield strength of steel
Ultimate tensile strength of steel
Poission's ratio
Effective length factors

2.2. What are the different cursor types available in STAAD Pro?

Node cursor
Geometry cursor
Beam cursor
Plate cursor
Load cursor
Solid cursor

3. How will you generate different views for a model? State the steps involved.

Go to view tab

Select cubic shape view

Select different views

2.4. Explain the procedure to define a “Simply Supported” condition in STAAD Pro

Select support tab

Select create support tab

Select the support needed or create support

2.5. Name any five topics that you will include while creating DBR.

Name & location of the project
Construction methodology to be used
Quality Control
Structural layout
Load and load combinations

2.6. Describe the term “Multi material design” of STAAD Pro

The Staad.Pro software can design and analyze a structure for different types of materials such as concrete, steel and timber.

1. Name the structure systems in STAAD Pro? Explain each system?

Structure System Geometry Loading Deform Joint

Space 3D 3D 3D ANY

Plane 2D 2D 2D ANY

Frame 2D ⊥TO XZ ⊥ TO XZ ANY

Truss 3D 3D 3D Pinned

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

Global Axis : Global Axis is fixed in the coordinate system
Local axis : local axis is variable

3.3. Elaborate DBR and its uses.

DBR-Design basis report is the documentation or planning report formation that consists of the design criteria and also considers for the recommendations required to be changed at a later stage,preliminary schedules and cost estimations.

It contains the assumption and specification to develop the project

It will help to avoid the scope and the creep that can derail the project schedule and lead to budget overness

3.4. Explain the different types of analysis options in STAAD pro
