Week 2 Challenge

1.

1.1 How will you assign Circular section to column?

• Open staad software create the nodes and draw column using beam cuser
• In property menu define the column as circular and give dia of the column also

1.2 How will you assign Unit system to a .std model file?

• While open staad new project there will be option for unit from there we can assign

1.3 What are the parameters to be specified while using “Bay Frame” option?

• Length
• Width
• Height

1.4 Name few codal standards incorporated in STAAD Pro software?

• Euro code.
• American code.
• ASI code.
• IS code.
• BS code.
• CAN code.

1.5 How will you specify the design compressive strength for a RCC section?

• Go to Design Panel.
• In define Parameters we can define the compressive strength of RCC sections

2

2.1 State the “Input” steps involved in RCC design?

• Geomentry
• Property
• Material
• Specifications
• Support
• Analysis
• Design

2.2 Explain the difference between Fixed and Enforced support condition in STAADPro?

• Fixed Support	Enforced support
  Restrain all six Degrees of Freedom	Restrain all six Degrees of Freedom
  No Spring Constant	It has Spring Constant
  It can used in all Model Types Space, Plate, Frame and Truss	It can only be used in plate

3.

3.1 Explain the steps involved in analysis of a model using STAAD Pro sequentially?

• Create the model in staad
• Define the material
• Define Supports
• Define Loads and load combinations
• Assign the Loads to members
• Give analysis Command
• then analysis the member

3.2 Explain the two ways in which a structural framework/model can be created in STAAD Pro software?

• Node to Node Method
• Structure wizard Method

3.3 Elaborate the different support conditions in STAAD Pro?

• Fixed Support
• Pinned Support
• Enforced Support
• Enforced But Support
• Multiliner support
• Foundation Support

3.4 How will you extract the stress distribution for a staircase slab?

• Create the Nodes For stair
• Assign the plate to the node to form the stair
• Assign material
• Assign Property as plate
• Assign loads
• Analysis commang
• Run the analysis andb the plate stress distribution can be seen

3.5 Explain the different ways to view SFD & BMD in STAAD Pro?

• 
• 

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

A.
