• Budget of the Project.

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

     ANS;

• STAAD PRO HAVE MULTI MATERIAL DESIGN CONCEPT
• THE STAAD PRO SUPPORT SEVERAL STEEL, CONCRET, AND TIMBER MATERIALS IN A SEPARATE MEMBERS
• THIS SEPERATE MEMBERS WILL CORDINATE AND THE FORMED INTO A STRUCTURE. 

 

3.)

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

     ANS;

     THEY ARE THREE STRUCTURE SYSTEM IN STAAD PRO;

• SPACE FRAME:

           In structural engineering, a space frame or space structure (3D truss) is a rigid, lightweight, truss-like structure constructed from                           interlocking  struts in a geometric pattern. Space frames can be used to span large areas with few interior supports.

• PLANE FRAME:

           In a PLANE frame, a “force” type of load should be applied only along GX or GY, and a moment should be applied only about “GZ”. While it             is true that there can be structures that span the global XZ plane or the global YZ plane, those do not qualify as the PLANE type in                         STAAD.Pro.

• TRUSSES:

           A truss is a structure that "consists of two-force members only, where the members are organized so that the assemblage as a whole                     behaves as a single object". A "two-force member" is a structural component where force is applied to only two points.

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

     ANS;

•  THE COORDINATE SYSTEM IS ADOPTED IN STAAD PRO LIKE (X,Y,Z)
• GLOBAL AXIS: MAINLY GLOBAL AXIS FIXED IN THE COORDINATE SYSTEM
• LOCAL AXIS : THIS AXIX IS VARIABLE IN NATRURE

        WE CAN CHANGE THE LOCAL AXIS IN STAAD PRO BUT NOT CHANGE THE GLOBAL AXIS

    3. Elaborate DBR and its uses.

     ANS;

• A design basis report or DBR is  functional to explain the ins & outs of the ongoing project, it consists of all the major and important structural details related to a project.

  For example, if a new party is getting involved in the building project due to some reason, then they can have an exact idea of the structural integrity of the building by reading the design basis report.

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

     ANS;

• It can make use of various forms of analysis from the traditional static analysis to more recent analysis methods like p-delta analysis, geometric non-linear analysis, Pushover analysis (Static-Non Linear Analysis) or a buckling analysis.

 

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

     ANS;

• FIXED CONDITION:

         FIXED CONDITION IN THE DTAAD PRO CONDITION WHERE ALL THE DEGREES OF THE FREEDOM THAT IS HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL OR MOMENT ARE FIXED OR WE CANNOT CHANGE THE CONDITION ACCORDINGLKY .

• FIXED BUT CONDITION:

        FIXED BUT CONDITION CAN BE CUSTOMIZED ONE, IN THE CONDITION WE CAN CHANGE THE END CONDITION ACCORDINGLY .

 

 

Practical :

1. Create a STAAD Model with the following Specification
a. A beam of span 16m

 PROCEDURE:

 

STEP 1:

• OPEN THE STAAD PRO SOFTWARE AND CREATE NEW MODEL 
• FOR THE PROCEDURE TO CREATE NEW MODEL IS PICK THE NEW OPTION AND SELECT METRIC AND ANALYTICAL OPTION AND SELECT CREATE OPTION TO OPEND NEW MODEL

 

 

STEP 2:

• AFTER CREATING AN NEW MODEL SELECT THE GRID OPTION IN TASK BAR
• AND SELECT THE BEAM GRID 
• NEXT GO TO THE NODE BOX IN RIGHT EDGE 
• CREATE THE NODESD SPAN TO 16 M
• NEXT GO TO THE BEAM BOX BELOW THE NODE BOX
• AND CRETAE THE BEAM BY USING THE BEAM BOX OPTION

 

 

 

 

STEP 3:

• NEXT WE WANT TO ASSIGN THE PROPERTIES BY USING PROPERTIEAS OPTION IN TASK BAR
• AFTER SELECT THE OPTION CLICK THE DEFINE OPTIONN IN PROPERTIE BOX IN RIGHT SIDE CORNER
• AND SELECT THE RECTANGLE OPTION YD = 0.5, AND ZD = 0.25 
• NEXT SELECT CONCRETE AND CLICK ADD AND CLOSE
• NEXT CLICK THE ASSIGN TO VIEW OPTION AND SELECT ASSIGN TO ASSIGN IT 

 

 

 

 

STEP 4:

• NEXT WE WANT TO ASSIGN THE MATERIAL BY USING MATERIAL OPTION 
• FIRST SELECT THE MATERIAL AND GO TO THE MATERIAL BOX IN RIGHT CORNER 
• SELECT THE CONCRETE OPTION AND ADD 
• NEXT SELECT THE ASSIGN TO VIEW AND ASSIGN IT 

 

 

 

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

 

STEP 5:

• NEXT WE WANT CREATE SUPPORT TO USING SUPPORT OPTION 
• SELECT THE SUPPORT OPTION AND PICK CREATE OPTION IN SUPPORT BOX
• SELECT THE FIXED SUPPORT OPTION AND ADD FOR ONE SIDE (1)
• AND ADD ROLLER SUUPORT TO ANOTHER END (2)
• FINNALY SELECT ASSIGN TO EDIT LIST OPTION 
• SELECT THE NODES NUMBER AND ASSIGN IT
• THE ASSIGNED SUPPORTS IMAGE ARE GIVEN BELOW

 

 

 

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

 

STEP 6:

• NEXT WE WANT TO ASSIGN THE LOAD BY USING LOAD OPTION
• AFTER SELECT THE LOADING OPTION JUST PICK THE LOAD CASE DETAILS IN LOAD AND DEFELECTION BOX AND SELECT ADD
• AFTER THAT CREATE LIVE LOAD AND ADD
• NEXT SELECT MEMBER LOAD 
• IN THAT SELECT THE CONCENTRATED FORCE AND GIVEN THE LOAD VALUE W1 = -50 
• NEXT USE THE CURSOR OPTION TO ASSIG THE LOAD TO BEAM 
• NEXT GO THE COMMAND FILE AND ALTERNATE THE STAAD SPACE TO PLANE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STEP 7:

• NEXT STEP WE WANT ANALYSIS THE MODEL 
• SO THAT WE WANT TO SELECT THE ANALYSIS COMMAND OPTION
• NEXT SELECT THE PERFORM ANALYSIS OPTION
• AND SELECT THE ADD OPTION AND CLOSE
• NEXT GO TO THE RUN ANALYSIS OPTION 
• AFTER COMPLETE THE ANALYSI I GOT A NO WARNING IN THAT SO FAR TO MOVE NEXT 
• NEXT WE WANT TO SELECT THE POST PROCESSING MODE  AND SELECT LOAD CASE AND DONE IT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

d. Draw SFD and BMD using software

 

STEP 8:

• FINALLY WE GOT THE RESULT
• WE WANT TO CHECK THE REACTION OF SHEAR FORCE AND BENDING MOMENT
• JUST SELECT THE FRONT VIEW BY USING VIEW OPTION
• AND SELECT THE BEAM RESULT >MZ FOR BENDING MOMENT AND SELECT >FY FOR SHEAR FORCE DIAGRAM 
• MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE ANNOTATE OPTIO TO VIEW ALONG WITH THE DIAGRAM AS INSTERED BELOW
