- Q.3
-
1. Name the structure systems in STAAD Pro? Explain each system?
Ans
The structure systems in STAAD Pro software are
-
- Trusses : Trusses are created by arranging the structural elements in the triangle forms which can take loads in both compression and tension.
- 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.
- Space Frames : Space frames are the three-dimensional truss like structures that is designed to carry loads for the longer spans without any intermediate supports. They are rigid and ligh-weight in nature and it is structurally effective. It has low transportation cost.
-
2. Explain the coordinate system adopted in STAAD Pro software.
Ans
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.
-
3. Elaborate DBR and its uses.
Ans
DBR ( Design Basis Report ) is a document whic consist of various informations regarding the the structure.
-
It is detailed report with the minute details of the ongoing project work.
-
It defines the final stage in the process of defining the Client's requirement for the project.
-
It consists of all the major and important structural details that is relevant, special requirements if any, the technical detail, components detail, the project detail
-
and the other issue of project.
4. Explain the different types of analysis options in STAAD pro.
Ans
The different types of analysis options in STAAD PRO software are
- P-Delta analysis
- Linear Elastic analysis
- Buckling analysis
-
5. Explain the difference between Fixed and Fixed But condition.
Ans
Fixed condition :
Fixed condition in the STAAD PRO is the condition in which all the degrees of freedom like horizontal or vertical or moment are fixed. We cannot change accordingly.
Fixed-But condition:-
Fixed-end condition we can customize 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.
- 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
- Aim : Tp create a STAAD Model with the given specification
- Introduction : It is work of a common modelling
-
Procedure
-
- > Open STAAD PRO Software and Create a New Model
- > Initiate the project in STAAD PRO
- > Click create to start a new project.
- > Draw the Beam of Required Span
- > To model the proposed beam, go to geometry and create the first node at X-0, Y-0, and Z-0
- > Select the created node by switching to the node cursor
- > Specify the span length that is 16 meters in the X-direction press enter
- > Both the ends of the required beams are created now go to add beam
- > Select first node and then second to create a beam of the proposed length
- > Go to support > add > fixed > select one node > assign to selected nodes > enter
- > Create another node > fixed but > release moments and horizontal restraints > ok > select the other node > assign to selected > ok
- > Give properties to the beam with and thickness
- > Give materials to the beam as a concrete
- > Go to loads > create > member load > globa Y> -50KN > d1- 8, d2 -8 > ok
- > Select the load and beam and check the radio button for assign to selected > apply > ok
- > Select the analysis method that is perform analysis from the design and analysis panel
- > Once you are done with setting up the analysis method, go ahead and run the analysis from the analysis and design panel.
- > Wait for the analysis to get complete and look for errors and warnings
- > If there are no errors or warning, you're good to go.
- > Now, go to the post-processing mode > select the load cases > click apply > ok
- > Then, all the analysis results will be automatically visible on your staad screen
- > Select beam results > Mz for bending moment > Fy for shear force diagram
