B)HOW WILL YOU ASSIGN UNIT SYSTEM TO A STD MODEL FILE.

WE CAN ASSIGN THE UNIT AT THE BEGINING STAGE ITSELF WHILE CREATING THE MODEL WE HAVE A OPTION TO CHOOSE THE ENGLISH OR METRIC UNITS.

WE CAN ASSIGN THE UNIT WHILE WE ARE CREATING THE MODEL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CREATING MODEL WE HAVE A OPTION TO CHANGE THE UNITS HERE GO TO THE VIE TAB THEN GO TO THE DISPLAY OPTION THEN THE OPTION DIALOUGE BOX OPENS.

HERE WE CAN CHANGE THE UNITS IN THE STRUCTURAL UNITS ,SECTION UNITS,FORCE UNITS.

B)EXPLAIN DIFFRANCE BETWEEN FIXED AND ENFORCED FIXED SUPPORT CONDITON IN STAAD PRO.

FIXED SUPPORT:

WHWN THE FIXED TYPE OF SUPPORTED IS SPECIFIED FOR THOSE DEGREE OF FREEDOM WHICH ARE TO BE TREATED AS FULLY RESTRAINED STAAD ASSUMES DISPLACEMENT TO BE KNOWN QUANTITIE WHOSE VALUE AS ZERO.

HENCE THOSE DEGREE OF FREEDOM ARE NOT COSIDER FOR THE STIFFNES MATRIX AND THEIR VALUE IS NOT CALCULATED.

ENFORCED SUPPORT CONDITION:

WHEN THE ENFORCED TYPE OF SUPPORT IS SPECIFIED FOR THOSE DEGREE OF FREEDOM WHICH ARE TO BE TREATED AS RESTRAINED STAAD ASSIGN STIFFNES TRANSLATIONAL STIFF SPRING FOR TRANSLATIONAL RESTRAINT AND ROTATIONAL STIFF SPRING RESTRAINTS

THOSE DEGREE OF FREEDOM WHICH ARE DISPLACED ARE ASSIGN SPRING TO ZERO STIFFNESS HENCE FOR ALL THE SIX DEGREE OF FREEDOM AT SUCH SUPPORT DISPLACEMENTS ARE CALCULATED.

ANS 3

A)EPLAIN STEP INVOLES IN ANALYSIS OF AMODEL USING STAAD PRO SEQUENTIALLY.

BEFORE THE ANALYSIS LOAD PATTERNS AND LOAD COMBINATION SHOULD BE PROVIDE TO THE MODEL

TO PERFORM THE ANALYSIS GO TO ANALYSIS TA THEN YOU WILL GET THE DEFINE COMMAND OPTION.

CLICK THE COMMAND OPTION

AFTER CLICKING ON THE DEFINE COMMAND THEN ANALYSIS COMMAND DIALOG BOX OPENS

THEN CLICK ON THE ADD BUTTON AND CLOSE THE DIALOUGE BOX

AFTER RUN THE ANALYSIS BY CLICKING RUN ANALYSIS BUTTON ON F5 KEY.

B)EXPLAIN THE TWO WAYS IN WHICH A STRUCTURAL MODEL CAN BE CREATED IN STAAD PRO.

TWO WAY

1)NODE BY NODE METHOD

2)STRUCTURAL WIZARD METHOD

C)ELOBRATE THE DIFFRENT SUPPORT CONDITION IN STAAD PRO.

FIXED SUPPORT CONDITION

PINNED SUPPORT CONDITION

ENFORCED SUPPORT CONDITION

FIXED BUT SUPPORT CONDITION

ENFORCED BUT SUPPORT CONDITION

MULTILINEAR SUPPORT CONDITION

TENSION/COMPRESSION SPRING

FOUNDATION SUPPORT CONDITION

INCLINED

D)HOW WILL YOU EXTRACT THE STRESS DISTRIBUTION FOR A STAIRCASE SLAB?

FIRST CREATE A NODES FOR THE STAIRCASE WITH PROPER DIMENSION.

ASSIGN THE PLATE ELEMENTS AS SLAB PROPERTY

AFTER THE DEFINE THE LOAD CASE AND CALCULATE LOAD ACTING ON THE STAIR SLAB

APPLY LOAD CASE AND LOAD COMBINATION TO THE PLATE ELEMENTS AS AREA LOAD

AFTER APPLYING THE LOAD CASES AND LOAD COMBINATION MESH THE PLATE ELEMENTS

THEN GO TO THE ANALYSIS AND GO TO THE POST PROCESSING MODE.

SELECT THE PLATE RESULT AS PLATE STRESS CONTOUR

UNDER THE STRESS TYPE CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE STRESS TYPE

E)EXPLAIN THE DIFFRENT WAYS TO VIEW SFD& BMD IN STAAD PRO.

BY SELECTING THE BEAM RESULT AND DEFLECTION AFTER THE POST PROCESSING.

BY GRAPHICAL METHOD

1)BY SELECTING THE BEAM RESULT AND DEFLECTION AFTER THE POST PROCESSING:

FIRST THE CLICK ON THE POST PROCESSING BUTTON AND THEN CLICK OK.

THEN WE GET SFD AND BMD

TO GET THE VALUE FOR THE SFD SELECT THE DEFLACTION THERE SELECT THE ANNOTATE THE BEAM RESULT SEARCH THE SHERE OPTION THEN CLICK EITHER ENDS OR MAXIMUM ,MID POINT TO GET THE SHEAR FORCE

TO GET THE BMD VALUE CLICK THE ANNOTATE IN THE ANNOTATE GO TO BEAM RESULT SEARCH THE BENDING OPTION THEN CLICK EITHER ENDS OR MAXIMUM ,MIDPOINT TO GET THE BENDING MOMENT.

2) BY GRAPHICAL METHOD:

TO GET THE SFD AND BMD IN A GRAPHICAL WAY.

CLICK ON THE LAYOUT TAB ARROW THEN WE WIIL GET SOME OPTION IN THAT OPTION SELECT THE GRAPHICAL.

THEN YOU CAN SEE THE SFD AND BD IN A GRAPHCALLY.

PRACTICAL:
