Week 2 Challenge
1.how to assign circular section to a column
GO TO PROPERTY-- DEFINE --select circle--input dia--add--assign
2. how to assign unit to staad model file
GO TO VIEW--DISPLAY OPTION--SELECT STRUCTURAL UNITS
3.What are the parameters to be specified while using “Bay Frame” option?
GO TO ANALYTICAL MODELLING-- STRUCTURE WIZARD--MODEL TYPE ,SPECIFY-- MODEL NAME
MODEL NAME
LENGTH NO OF BAYS ALONG LENGTH
HEIGTH NO OF BAYS ALONG HEIGHT
WIDTH NO OF BAYS ALONG WIDTH
4. CODAL STANDERD
a IS 456, IS13920-2016, ACI318-2000,BS 807
5. How will you specify the design compressive strength for a RCC section?
GO TO DESIGN-- SPECIFY CODE--DESIGN PARAMETER--SELECT Fc
2. 1. State the “Input” steps involved in RCC design
F ollowing are the input involved in rcc design
CLB , CLT, FC, FYMAIN,FYSEC, DEPTH,WIDTH, ETC
3.difference between Fixed and Enforced support condition in STAADPro.
FIXED SUPPORT--ALL THE SIX DEGREE OF FREEDOM ie FX,FY,FZ,MX,MY,MZ ARE RESTRAINED.
ENFORCED SUPPORT--
3.steps involved in analysis of a model using STAAD Pro sequentially.
1. two ways in which a structural framework/model can be created in STAAD Pro software.
a by nodal method
b. by structure wizard method
2. Elaborate the different support conditions in STAAD Pro.
FIXED SUPPORT
PINNED SUPPORT
FIXED BIT
ENFORCED
ENFORCED BUT
TENSION/COMPRESSION ONLY SPRING.
MULTILINEAR SPRING
FOUNDATION.
4. How will you extract the stress distribution for a staircase slab?
AFTER RUNNING ANALYSIS,
GO TO POST PROCESSING--PLATE RESULT--SELECT LOAD CASE--SELECT STRES TYPE-- MAX ABSOLUTE
5. Explain the different ways to view SFD & BMD in STAAD Pro.
a .GO TO BEAM RESULT -- SF AND BM CLICK ON RIBBON
b. GO TO LAYOUT--BEAM RESULT GRAPH.
C. double click on beam get result in of SFD AND BMD WITH DIAGRAM
Practical
1. Analyze the following structural elements and validate the results
A. Simply Supported Beam
a. A Simply supported beam with two point loads symmetrically placed
b. Span L = 20m
c. Load P = 50kN each
d. Both P located at 5m from each support









B.Fixed Beam
a. Span L = 16m
b. Uniformly Distributed Load w=9kN/m
