Week 1 Challenge
ANS1. THE FOLLWING STEPS ARE INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS TO UPLOAD A .STD FILE -
1. OPEN THE DRAWING.
2. GO TO THE SHARE OPTION.
3. THERE WE WILL CHOOSE THE MAIL OPTION TO SHARE A .STD FILE WITH THE USERS.
ANS2. THE DIFFERENT TYPE OF MATERIALS USED IN THE DESIGN USING STAAD PRO ARE STEEL, ALUMINIUM, CONCRETE, TIMBER.
ANS 3. YES IT IS POSSIBLE TO CAPTURE IMAGES AT STAAD PRO. FOR THIS WE JUST NEED TO OPEN A FILE THEN GO TO UTILITIES ICON AND THEN CLICK ON THE TAKE A PICTURE OPTION . THIS WILL TAKE A PICTURE OF THE FILE WHICH CAN BE SHARED WITH OTHERS.
ANS 4. THE THREE WAYS BY WHICH WE CAN CREATE A MODEL ARE 1. ANLYTICAL MODEL 2. PHYSICAL MODEL
3. BUILDING MODEL. THE ANLYTICAL MODEL IS ONE WHICH IS MOSTLY USED TO DESIGN A MODEL IN STAAD PRO.
ANS 5. THE STEPS FOLLOWED TO ASSIGN PROPERTIES TO THE MODEL ARE-
1. OPEN THE FILE.
2. GO TO THE PROPERTIES MENU ON THE TOP.
3. THEN CHOOSE THE VARIOUS PROPERTIES SUCH AS CROSS SECTION WHICH CAN BE CIRCULAR, RECTANGULAR ETC.
3. THEN WE CAN FURTHUR CHOOSE PROPERTIES SUCH AS STRENGTH OF STEEL, CEMENT, VALUE FOR MAIN REIFORCEMENT AND SECONDARY REINFORCEMNT.
4. WE CAN ALSO CHOOSE THE CODE TO BE USED IN THE DESIGN OF THE STRUCTURE.
5. IN THIS WAY WE CAN USE DIFFERNT MATERIAL PROPERTIES FOR DESIGNING DIFFERENT STRUCTURAL MEMBERS.
ANS2 1. THERE ARE VARIOUS PARAMETERS INVOLVED IN THE DESIGN OF RCC DESIGN. THESE VARY FROM THE VALUE OF REINFORCEMENT WHICH MAY BE MAIN REINFORCEMENT TO THE SECONDARY REINFORCEMENT BUT MAY ALSO INCLUDE VARIOUS TYPE OF STEEL AVAILABLE IN THE MATERIAL COLUMN. IT ALSO INCLUDES THE SPCIFICATION FOR CONCRETE DESIGN TO BE USED. IT MAY ALSO INCLUDE THE MAX. STRENGTH OF STEEL BARS AND THE YIELD STRENGTH OF THE BARS. IT MAY INCLUDE THE VALUE OF STRENGTH OF CONCRETE WHICH MAY BE USED IN DESIGN. WE CAN ALSO USE DIFFERNT CODES BASED ON OUR REQUIREMENT SO THAT WE MAY DESIGN THE STRUCTURE ACCORDING TO OUR NEEDS.
ANS 2. THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CURSOR AVAILABLE IN THE STAAD PRO. THEY ARE NODE CURSOR, BEAM CURSOR, GEOMETRY CURSOR ETC.
ANS 3. WE CAN GENERATE DIFFERENT VIEWS OF THE DRAWING BY USING VIEW OPTION PRESENT IN THE BAR ABOVE. STEPS INVOLVED ARE AS FOLLOWS-
1. FIRST OF ALL CREATE A NEW MODEL.
2. THEN WE CAN SELECT THE VIEW OPTION.
3. THEN WE CAN SELECT ANY OF THE VIEW SUCH AS ISOMETRIC VIEW OR TOP VIEW OR BOTTOM VIEW ACCORDING TO OUR NEEDS.
ANS 4. IN STAAD PRO IF WE WANT TO USE A BEAM THAT IS SIMPLY SUPPORTED,WE WILL FIRST MAKE A BEAM WITH NODE 1 AND NODE 2. AFTER THIS , WE WILL BE ASSIGNING SUPPORTS TO IT. WE CAN DO IT BY SIMPLY CHOOSING FIXED SUPPORT AND THEN APPLYING IT ON NODE 1 AND NODE 2.
ANS5. THE FIVE TOPICS THAT WE WILL INCLUDE WHILE CREATING DBR ARE-
1. INPUT OF TYPE OF MATERIALS.
2. INPUT OF SPECIFICATIONS OF THE STRUCTURE.
3. INPUT THE PROPERTIES OF THE STRUCTURE.
4. RUNNING THE ANALYSIS OF THE STRUCTURE.
5. THEN RUNNING THE POST ANYLYSIS.
6. THEN IS DESIGNING PART OF THE PROGRAM.
7. THEN IS FINAL EXECUTION ON THE GROUND.
ANS 5. MULTIMATERIAL DESIGN MEANS DESIGN OF MATERIAL THAT IS MADE OF MORE THAN ONE MATERIAL WHICH SHOWS DIFFERENT PROPERTIES DUE TO INVOLVEMENT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF MATERIAL IN THE STRUCTURE BUILDING.
ANS3 1. THE VARIOUS STRUCTURE SYSTEMS IN STAAD PRO ARE SPACE, PLANE, FRAME AND TRUSS. THEY ARE OF FOUR TYPES. THEY CAN BE EASILY UNDERSTOOD BY THE FOLLOWING CHART.
ANS 2. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF CORDINATE SYSTEM ADOPTED IN STAAD PRO. THEY ARE-
1. GLOBAL SYSTEM
2. LOCAL SYSTEM
IN THE GLOBAL SYSTEM THE X , Y AND Z CORDINATES ARE AVAILABLE IN STANDARD FORMAT. WHILE IN THE LOCAL SYSTEM, THE X IS FIXED IN THE DIRECTION OF THE GLOBAL X SYSTEM WHILE THE Y AND Z CAN VARY ACCORDING TO OUR NEEDS.
ANS3. DBR STANDS FOR DESIGN BASIS REPORT. IT BASICALLY CONVERTS WHAT OF A PROJECT INTO HOW OF THE PROJECT. IT BASICALLY LAYS DOWN THE COMPLETE REPORT OF THE PROJECT FROM ITS STARTING POINT THAT IS FROM STATING ITS LOCATION TO ITS PROPER PLANNING AND ITS PROPER EXECUTION ON THE GROUND. IT IS THERE TO PREVENT ANY UNDUE DELAYS IN THE PROJECT EXECUTION AND ALSO SCOPE CREEP DUE TO WHICH THE PROJECT WILL NOT DEVIATE FROM ITS ORINGINAL AIM. WE ALSO KNOW THAT IT WILL LEAD TO PROPER DESIGN WITH GIVEN SPECIFICATIONS SO THAT THE THERE IS PROPER PLANNING AND EXECUTION IN THE DESIGN PART OF THE PROJECT. THIS WILL LEAD TO MINIMAL WASTAGE IN THE PROJECT AND ITS TIMELY COMPLETION.
ANS4 THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ANALYSIS OPTION AVAILABLE IN STAAD PRO ARE-
1. PERFORM ANALYSIS- IT IS DONE FOR FIRST ORDER ANALYSIS. IT PERFORMS ANALYSIS OF BASIC LOADING.
2. PERFORM DELTA ANALYSIS- IT IS USED FOR CARRYING SECOND ORDER ANALYSIS. IT WILL TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE DISPLACEMENT OF THE STRUCTURE.
3. PERFORM CABLE ANALYSIS- THIS IS ANOTHER METHOD TO CARRY OUT ANALYSIS. IN THIS METHOD CABLE ARE ATTACHED TO THE STRUCTURE AT VARIOUS POINTS.
4. PERFORM IMPERFECTION
5. NON LINEAR ANALYSIS- IT IS NOT APPLICABLE TO SOLIDS AND PLASTIC HINGES.
6. GENERATE FLOOR DIAPHRAGM ANALYSIS- IT IS USED FOR HIGH RISE BUILDING.
7. PERFORM DIRECT ANALYSIS.
8. PUSHHOVER ANALYSIS.
9. BUCKLING ANALYSIS- THIS IS USED FOR STRUCTURES THAT BUCKLE.
ANS 5 THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FIXED AND FIXED BUT IS THAT THE FIXED SUPPORT HAS 6 RESTRAINTS WHICH IS FORCE IN X Y AND Z DIRECTION AND MOMENT IS ALSO ZERO IN ALL THE THREE DIRECTIONS, BUT IN CASE OF FIXED BUT WE HAVE AN OPTION OF RELEASE OF CERTAIN CONSTITUENTS OF FORCE AND MOMENT ALONGWITH THE SPRING CONSTANT.
PRACTICAL-
AIM- TO CREATE A STAAD PRO MODEL BEAM.
PROCEDURE- 1. GIVE TWO NODES 1 AND 2 RESPECTIVELY AT A DISTANCE OF 16m.
2. WE HAVE TO ASSIGN MATERIAL PROPERTIES TO THE BEAM IN OUR CASE WE WILL ASSIGN IT TO BE CONCRETE IN NATURE.
3. THEN WE WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT TO THE NODES. ON ONE END WE HAVE GIVEN FIXED SUPPORT AND ON THE OTHER WE WILL GIVE ROLLER SUPPORT.
4. THEN WE WILL APPLY POINT LOAD ON THE MIDDLE OF THE BEAM WITH THE VALUE OF 50KN.
5. WE WILL DRAW SFD AND BMD USING THE ABOVE DIAGRAM.
GIVEN BELOW ARE THE BEAM DRAWING AND ITS RESULTS.
RESULT- THE GIVEN RESULT IS ACHIEVED.
