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

Ans:-

• Open STAAD.Pro connect file.
• Go to specification and Create support.

• for defining a simply supported condition in STAAD.Pro, we can get various options like pinned, fixed support, fixed but, enforced, and enforced.

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

Ans:-

• Introduction to the construction methodology.
• Method of analysis and codes referred.
• Name and location of the project
• Structural layout.
• Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QAQC)

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

Ans:-

• The term "Multi material design" of STAAD Pro defines the structure that is designed by implemention more than one structural material. For example,suppose i am designing a R.C.C building but at the same time few parts of that RCC buidling is composed of different materials like Steels in order to make the sheds,garage etc. So these types of building designing with different materials is known as the "Multi Material Design".

QUE.3

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

Ans:- The structure systems in STAAD Pro software are:

• Space Frames.
• Plane Frames.
• Trusses.

1. Space Frames: So basically the space frames are the three-dimensional truss like structures that is designed to carry loads for the longer spans without any intermediate supports. The space frame structures are rigid and ligh-weight in nature and it is structurally effective. It has low transportation cost.
2. Plane Frames: Plane frames are RCC or steel frame structures. It is a two-dimensional structure which is constructed with straight elements which are conected by the rigid or the hinged connections.
3. Trusses: Trusses are created by arranging the structural elements in the triangle forms which can take loads in both compression and tension.

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

Ans:-

• Global axis and local axis coordinate system adopted in staad pro which is a three-dimensional analysis system
• In global axis X,Y & Z coordinate are fixed and not variable
• In local axis X,Y & Z coordinate is variable and depends on member orientation

3.3. Elaborate DBR and its uses.

Ans:-

• DBR generally refers to Design Basis Report. The purpose of this DBR is to compile data required for analysis, design and detailing of all structural elements and RCC elements i.e. RCC, shear walls, beams, columns, slabs and footings.
• It is used for design calculations and other detailed drawings.

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

Ans:-

• Perform analysis
• Linear elastic analysis
• P-Delta analysis
• Pushover analysis
• Buckling analysis

3.5. Explain the difference between Fixed and Fixed But condition.

Ans:-

• 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.

Practical

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

Ans:-

AIM: To create a beam of 16 m long span with the help of the STAAD Pro software. And to provide a fixed support at the one end and thed roller support at the other end. To draw the SFD and BMD diagram using the STAAD Pro software.

GIVEN DATA:
