Week 1 Challenge:

1. 1. Write the steps involved to upload a .std file through web mail?
2. Name the different materials that can be designed using STAAD Pro.
3. Is it possible to capture images in STAAD Pro? If yes how?
4. Name the three ways by which you can create a model.
5. Write the steps followed to assign properties in a model.

ANSWER:

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

Open STAAD Pro software and then locate the share option in title screen
Now click the share option and select send mail option
Then browse the .std file and send it
Open STAAD Pro > Share > Send mail

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

Aluminium
Concrete
Steel
Stainless steel

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

Yes, it is possible to capture images in STAAD Pro.

Use Take Picture command in Utilities tab panel

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.

First go to properties panel
Then click on materials
Select a desired material from the list
Then choose the shape and size
Assign the property to the material

2. 1. Name any six design parameter involved in RCC design.
2. What are the different cursor types available in STAAD Pro?
3. How will you generate different views for a model? State the steps involved.
4. Explain the procedure to define a “Simply Supported” condition in STAAD Pro
5. Name any five topics that you will include while creating DBR.
6. Describe the term “Multi material design” of STAAD Pro.

ANSWER:

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

Target compressive strength
Cover
Depth
Minimum & Maximum Reinforcements
Bar Diameter
Reinforcement steel grade

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

Nodes cursor
Beam cursor
Plates cursor
Solids cursor
Geometry cursor
Text cursor

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

Go to view option in ribbon tan and we can get the views

Top view
Isometric view
Front view
Left view
Right view
Bottom view
Back view

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

Create two nodes using grid at a distance
Now the two nodes define the beam
Then go to support command in palet tool
Select the support pinned or fixed and assign it
Now it make act like a simply supported beam

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

DBR is the Design Brief Report

Name and location of the project
Analysis and Design method
Structural layout
Project schedule and Budget overruns
Generate the reports and output

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

Multi material design defines the structure that is designed by more than one structural material.

If it like several steel, concrete, timber material in separate member
These separate member will coordinate and formed in a structure

3. 1. Name the structure systems in STAAD Pro? Explain each system?
2. Explain the coordinate system adopted in STAAD Pro software.
3. Elaborate DBR and its uses.
4. Explain the different types of analysis options in STAAD pro.
5. Explain the difference between Fixed and Fixed But condition.

ANSWER:

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

Space, Plane, Frame, Truss

Structure System	Geeometry	Loading	Deformation	Joints
Space	3D	3D	3D	Any
Plane	2D	2D	2D	Any
Frame	2D	⊥r to XZ	⊥r to XZ	Any
Truss	3D	3D	3D	Pinned

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

Global axis - It is fixed and not variable
Local axis - It is variable and depends on member orientation

3. Elaborate DBR and its uses.

DBR(Design Brief Report)

To specify and compile the data required for analysis and design structural elements of the project
It clearly depicts the assumption and specifications that are being used to develop the construction documents for a project
It will also help avoid the "scpe creep" can detail the project schedule and lead to budget overruns
It basically transforms the what in to How

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

Linear static analysis
Non-linear analysis
Second order analysis
Pushover analysis
Member imperfection analysis

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

Fixed condition:- The nodes of a structure are fixed, means that these nodes cannot move in any direction but only can rotate about one or more axis

Fixed But condition:- The nodes of a structure are fixed but, means that these nodes can move in one or more directions but cannot rotate about any axis

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

PROCEDURE:

Step 1: Create a beam of span 16m

Open STAAD Pro software and create a new model information

Select grid option to create a beam
After selecting a grid length in right side to shown the node information
In that node option to enter a beam of span 16m
Then right click on the mouse the drod down box appears and select beam numbers in label tab
Now the two beam node number is visible
