INTRODUCTION ON STAAD PRO

Aim: To study the introduction about STAAD Pro

Overview: STAAD- Standard Analyze and Design

Company name – Bentley

Version- STAADV8i.

STAAD or (STAAD Pro) is a structural analysis and design computer program originally
developed by Research Engineers International in Yorba Linda, CA. In late 2005, Research
Engineer International was bought by Bentley Systems. An older version called STAAD-III
for windows is used by Iowa State University for educational purposes for civil and
structural engineers. The commercial version STAAD Pro is one of the most widely used
structural analysis and design software. It supports several steel, concrete and timber design
codes. It can make use of various forms of analysis from the traditional 1st order static
analysis, 2nd order p-delta analysis, geometric nonlinear analysis or a buckling analysis. It
can also make use of various forms of dynamic analysis from modal extraction to time
history and response spectrum analysis.
In recent years it has become part of integrated structural analysis and design solutions
mainly using an exposed API called Open STAAD to access and drive the program using a
VB macro system included in the application or other by including open STAAD
functionality in applications that themselves include suitable programmable macro systems.
Additionally STAAD Pro has added direct links to applications such as RAM Connection
and STAAD Foundation to provide engineers working with those applications which handle
design post processing not handled by STAAD Pro itself.
Advantages:
1. Easy to use interface,
2. Conformation with the Indian Standard Codes
3. Versatile nature of solving any type of problem
4. Accuracy of the solution.
STAAD Pro features a state-of-the-art user interface, visualization tools, powerful analysis
and design engines with advanced finite element and dynamic analysis capabilities. From

Page | 8
model generation, analysis and design to visualization and result verification, STAAD Pro is
the professional’s choice for steel, concrete, timber, aluminum and cold-formed steel design
of low and high-rise buildings, culverts, petrochemical plants, tunnels, bridges, piles and
much more.

STAAD Pro consists of the following:

The STAAD Pro Graphical User Interface:

It is used to generate the model, which can then be analyzed using the STAAD engine. After
analysis and design is completed, the GUI can also be used to view the results graphically.

The STAAD analysis and design engine:

It is a general-purpose calculation engine for structural analysis and integrated Steel,

Concrete, timber and aluminum design.

To start with we have solved some sample problems using STAAD Pro and checked the
accuracy of the results with manual calculations. The results were to satisfaction and were
accurate. In the initial phase of our project we have done calculations regarding loadings on
buildings and also considered seismic and wind loads.

Structural analysis comprises the set of physical laws and mathematics required to study and
predicts the behavior of structures. Structural analysis can be viewed more abstractly as a
method to drive the engineering design process or prove the soundness of a design without a
dependence on directly testing it.

To perform an accurate analysis a structural engineer must determine such information as

structural loads, geometry, support conditions, and materials properties. The results of such
an analysis typically include support reactions, stresses and displacements. This information
is then compared to criteria that indicate the conditions of failure. Advanced structural
analysis may examine dynamic response, stability and non-linear behavior.

The aim of design is the achievement of an acceptable probability that structures being
designed will perform satisfactorily during their intended life. With an appropriate degree of
safety, they should sustain all the loads and deformations of normal construction and use and
have adequate durability and adequate resistance to the effects of seismic and wind.
Structure and structural elements shall normally be designed by Limit State Method.
Account should be taken of accepted theories, experiment and experience and the need to
Page | 9
 design for durability. Design, including design for durability, construction and use in service
should be considered as a whole. The realization of design objectives requires compliance
with clearly defined standards for materials, production, workmanship and also maintenance
and use of structure in service.

The design of the building is dependent upon the minimum requirements as prescribed in the
Indian Standard Codes. The minimum requirements pertaining to the structural safety of
buildings are being covered by way of laying down minimum design loads which have to be
assumed for dead loads, imposed loads, and other external loads, the structure would be
required to bear. Strict conformity to loading standards recommended in this code, it is
hoped, will not only ensure the structural safety of the buildings which are being designed.

Structural engineering is the branch of civil engineering that deals with the analysis and
Design of structure that will support or resist the stresses, forces and loads. Throughout the
history, Civil engineers have made an important contribution to improve the environment by
designing and Construction major structures and facilities. The profession requires a lot of
accuracy because most ofthetime; the final result of any project will directly or indirectly
affect people’s lives and safety. As a Result, software usage in this industry reduces the
complexity of loss of challenging projects.

STAAD (Structural Analysis and Design Program) is a general structural and design
program With applications primarily in the building industry-commercial buildings, bridges
and highway Structures, industrial structures, chemical plant structures, dams, retaining
walls, turbine foundations, Culverts and other embedded structures [23]. STAAD supports
several steel, concrete and timber Design codes. It offers various analysis methods such as
the traditional 1st order static analysis, 2ndOrder P-delta analysis, geometric nonlinear
analysis and the buckling analysis. It can also analyze Various type of dynamic analysis
starts from model extraction to time history and response spectrum analysis. STAAD is fast,
efficient, easy to use and accurate platform, conformation with many Standard codes and
qualified to solve any type of problem. These features had made the STAAD the
Professional’s choice. Today, STAAD is one of the most popular structural engineering
software Products.

Load Conditions and Structural System Response :

The concepts presented in this section provide an overview of building loads and
theireffect on the structural response of typical wood-framed homes. As shown in Table,
buildingloads can be divided into types based on the orientation of the structural action or

Page | 23
 forces that theyinduce: vertical and horizontal (i.e., lateral) loads. Classification of loads
are described in thefollowing sections.
Building Loads Categorized by Orientation:
Types of loads on an hypothetical building are as follows.
Vertical Loads
Dead (gravity)
Live (gravity)
Snow(gravity)
Wind(uplift on roof)
Seismic and wind (overturning)
Seismic( vertical ground motion)
Horizontal (Lateral) Loads:
Direction of loads is horizontal w.r.t to the building.
Wind
Seismic(horizontal ground motion)
Flood(static and dynamic hydraulic forces
Soil(active lateral pressure)
Dead load calculation
Weight=Volume x Density
Self weight floor finish=0.12*25+1=3kn/m^2
The above example shows a sample calculation of dead load.
Dead load is calculated as per IS 875 part 1
Generally for any structure live load is taken as 25 N/mm for design.
Live loads are calculated as per IS 875 part 2
Wind loads:
In the list of loads we can see wind load is present both in vertical and horizontal loads.This
is because wind load causes uplift of the roof by creating a negative(suction) pressure on
thetop of the roofAfter designing wind load can be assigned in two ways
1. collecting the standard values of load intensities for a particular heights and assigning of
theloads for respective height.
2. calculation of wind load as per IS 875 part 3.
We designed our structure using second method which involves the calculation of wind
load using wind speed. In Hyderabad we have a wind speed of 45 kmph for 10 m height
and this value is used in Calculation.

Page | 24
 Floor load:
Floor load is calculated based on the load on the slabs. Assignment of floor load is done by
creating a load case for floor load. After the assignment of floor load our structure looks as
shown in the below figure.
The intensity of the floor load taken is: 0.0035 N/mm2
-ve sign indicates that floor load is acting downwards
Load combinations:
All the load cases are tested by taking load factors and analyzing the building in different
load combination as per IS456 and analyzed the building for all the load combinations and
results are taken and maximum load combination is selected for the design
Load factors as per IS456-2000
When the building is designed for both wind and seismic loads maximum of both is taken.

Because wind and seismic do not come at same time as per code.
Structure is analyzed by taking all the above combinations.

Result: The analysis of single-storey frame is done by using staad pro.

1. collecting the standard values of load intensities for a particular heights and assigning of
theloads for respective height.
2. calculation of wind load as per IS 875 part 3.

Page | 28
 We designed our structure using second method which involves the calculation of wind
loadusing wind speed.In Hyderabad we have a wind speed of 45 kmph for 10 m height and
this value is used inCalculation.
Floor load:
Floor load is calculated based on the load on the slabs. Assignment of floor load is doneby
creating a load case for floor load. After the assignment of floor load our structure looks
asshown in the below figure.
The intensity of the floor load taken is: 0.0035 N/mm2
-ve sign indicates that floor load is acting downwards
Load combinations:
All the load cases are tested by taking load factors and analyzing the building in
differentload combination as per IS456 and analyzed the building for all the load
combinations andresults are taken and maximum load combination is selected for the design
Load factors as per IS456-2000
When the building is designed for both wind and seismic loads maximum of both is taken.

Because wind and seismic do not come at same time as per code.
Structure is analyzed by taking all the above combinations.

Result: The analysis of multi-storey frame is done by using staad pro.

ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF ISOLATED FOOTING

Aim: To analyze and design isolated footing

HARDWARE & SOFTWARE REQUIRED:

Computer with specified configuration with installed Microsoft Office

Reinforced Concrete Footings:

Footing comprises of the lower end of a column, pillar or wall which i enlarged with
projecting courses so as to distribute load.
Footings shall be designed to sustain the applied loads, moments and forces and the
induced reactions and to ensure that any settlement which may occur shall be as uniform
as possible and the safe bearing capacity of soil is not exceeded.
In sloped or stepped footings, the effective cross-section in compression shall be limited
by the area above the neutral plane, and the angle of slope or depth and location of steps
should be such that the design requirements are satisfied at every section.
Design Procedure of Column Footings | Foundation Design
Here is a step-by-step guide to Column Footing Design:

Step 1

column
For a square footing,
Mxx = q x B/8 (L – a)2
Mxx = q x L/8 (B – b)2
Myy = q x B/8 (L – a)2

Step 3
To fix the depth of the footing shall be greater of the following:
Depth from bending moment consideration
d = √(M/Qb)
where, Q = moment of required factor
Depth from shear consideration
Check for one way shear
Check for two way shear or punching shear
Critical shear for one way shear is considered at a distance ‘d’ from face of
the column.
Shear force, V = qB [ ½(B – b) d]
Nominal shear stress, Tv = k . Tc
Tc = 0.16√fck
Step 4

ANALYSIS OF BRIDGE DECK SLAB
AIM: To analyze the Bridge Deck Slab using STADD pro
HARDWARE & SOFTWARE REQUIRED:
Computer with specified configuration with installed STADD Pro Software.

PROCUDURE AND ANALYSIS STEPS

The combination of STAAD.pro and STAAD.beava can make your bridge design
and analysis
easier. STAAD.pro is first used to construct the bridge geometry and STAAD.
beava is used to
find the AASHTO 2002 load positions that will create the maximum load response.
The
maximum load response could be any of the following:
1. Maximum plate stresses, moment about the local x axis of a plate (Mx), moment
about
the local y axis of a plate (My) etc. used to design for concrete deck reinforcement.
2. Maximum support reactions to design isolated, pile cap, and mat foundations.
3. Maximum bending moment or axial force in a member used to design members
as per
the AASHTO code.
4. Maximum deflection at mid span.
These loads that create the maximum load responses can be transferred into
STAAD.pro as load
cases to load combinations for further analysis and design. Figure 1 shows the
bridge design
procedure discussed above.

Creating the Bridge Geometry/Structural Analysis

Figure 2 shows a bridge with the dimensions.

Figure 2: Bridge Dimensions

Page | 68
Step By Step Procedure
1. Open STAAD.pro with the default units of Kip-Ft and use the Space option.
2. Click the Next button and select the Add Beam mode. Click Finish.
3. The goal of the next few steps is to draw the stick model of the Bridge Structure (i.e. the
beams and the girders). Select the X-Z grid option. Create two grid lines in the x direction at
80ft spacing. Create four grid lines in the z direction at 10ft spacing.
4. Click on the Snap Node/Beam button and draw the beams and the girders as shown below.
First draw five 160ft girders. Then draw the 40ft beams in the z direction.
5. Click on Geometry->Intersect Selected Members->Highlight. STAAD.pro will highlight
all the beams that intersect each other no common nodes. To break these beams at the
intersection point, click on Geometry->Intersect Selected Members->Intersect
6. The beams have been created. The columns will now be created using the translational
repeat
command. Select nodes 6, 14, and 7 using the nodes cursor as shown below. The node
numbers may vary depending upon how the model was constructed. Select Geometry-
>Translational Repeat from the menu. Select the y direction for the translational repeat and
select enter a Default Step Spacing of -25ft
7. The deck of this bridge structure will be created in the following steps using the Generate
Surface Meshing Tool. In reality, spacing of beams etc. may not be regular and hence it
may become difficult to create the deck of the bridge using the Generate Surface Meshing
Tool. The Parametric Meshing Mode could become very useful in these circumstances.
8. Select the Geometry->Generate Surface Meshing tool from the menu. Select four nodes
that outline the 160ft x 40ft deck. Simply click on node 1, 3, 11, and 10 and select node 1
again to complete the command. Select the Quadrilateral Meshing option.
9. 2ft x 2ft element size is adequate for this type of model. Hence input the parameters as
shown below.
10. The mesh will be created. To view the mesh properly, you will need to click on the Setup
Control Tab on your left.
11. You should note that the girders and beams are automatically broken down into smaller
elements. In reality, the girders are physically attached to the deck hence it is ok to mesh
