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

Go to the support command in the tool palet command

• Click on create support command
• There we can get option like fixed support , pin support , Fixed but
• Enforced but support
• Cable support
• Inclined support

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

First of all lets understand what is DBR? So the DBR is the Design Brief Report.So basically DBR is a short brief of what you are going to make,why you are going to make,where you are going to make. In short it is a core detail of our project. So the five topics that will include creating DBR is listed below:

• Name of the project and the location of the project.
• Structural Layout.
• Introduction to the construction methodology.
• Quality Assurance and Quality Control.
• Budget of the Project.

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

• It is used for 3D model generation, analysis and multi -material design .
• The STAAD .Pro supports several steel , concrete and timber material in a seprate member
• This seprate member will cordinate and the formed in to a structure

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

The structure systems in STAAD Pro software are:

• Space Frames.
• Plane Frames.
• Trusses.

EXPLANATION:-

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.

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

The co-ordunates system that are adopted in STAAD Pro software are X,Y and Z co-ordinates.

So basically the co-ordinate system adopted in STAAD Pro software are:

• Global Axis:- Mainly global axis are fixed in the co-ordinate system.
• Local Axis :- Local axis is variable in nature. We can change the local axis but not the global axis.

As the STAAD Pro software. Basically it uses a conventional cartesian co-ordinate system,and in this system Y is a global axis which is in upward direction. We can say that the height of the building is always parallel to the global Y-axis just as shown in the below given image:

3. Elaborate DBR and its uses.

So basically the DBR ( Design Brief Report ) is a project management document whic consist of various informations regarding the construction of the structure. This DBR is a detailed report which tells the minute details of the ongoing construction work.It defines the final stage in the process of defining the Client's requirement for the construction work. This report basically consist of all the major and important structural details that is relevant or we can say that is related to the project like description of the client,site information,special requirements if any,the technical requirements,components required,the project requirements and the other issue related to the construction.

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

The different types of analysis options in STAAD Pro software are listed below:

• Linear Elastic analysis.
• P-Delta analysis.
• Buckling analysis.
• Pushover analysis.

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

Fixed condition:-

Fixed condition in the STAAD Pro software is the condition where all the degrees of freedom that is horizontal or vertical or moment are fixed or we can say these coditions are restrained we cannot change accordingly. Those condition we can say are the fixed conditions.

Fixed-But condition:-

And as for the fixed-end condition we can say that this condition can be customized its end conditions accordingly. In this condition we can change the end condition it is not restrained.We can release some of the required degree of freedom.

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 : Creating a STAAD Model with the following Specification

a. A beam of span 16mD

• Click on the Grid menu and Draw a beam of span 16 m
• For the node View click on shift +N or Right click and labels and view nodes

b. Support : Fixed on one end and Roller support(Horizontal) on the other end

Adding Fixed support and Roller support Horizontal on other end

1. Go to support>add>fixed>select one node>assign to selected nodes>enter.
2. Similarly, create another node>fixed but>release moments and horizontal restraints>ok>select the other node>assign to selected>ok.

c. A point load of 50 kN at the mid-point

1. Go to loads>create>member load>globa Y>-50KN>d1-5, d2-5>OK.
2. Now, select the load and beam and check the radio button for assign to selected>apply>ok.

• Run the Analysis

1. After this, select the analysis method that is perform analysis from the design and analysis panel.
2. Once you are done with setting up the analysis method, go ahead and run the analysis from the analysis and design panel.
3. Wait some time for the analysis to get complete and look for errors and warnings.
4. If there are no errors or warning signs upon completion of the analysis, you're good to go.

• Draw SFD and BMD

1. Now, go to the post-processing mode>select the load cases>click apply>ok.
2. Then, all the analysis results will be automatically visible on your staad screen.
3. Select beam results>Mz for bending moment>Fy for shear force diagram.
4. Make sure to check the annotate option to view the values along with the diagrams as inserted below:

BENDING MOMENT;

SHEAR FORCE;
