3. Introduction
๏ฑSTAAD PRO is a Structural Analysis and design program.
๏ฑIt includes a state-of-the-art user interface, visualization tools and
International design codes.
๏ฑIt is one of the application created to help structural engineers to
automated their tasks and to remove the tedious and long procedures of
the manual methods.
4. Analysis
To calculate

6. Types of Structures
๏ฑA TRUSS structure consists of truss members which can have
only the axial member forces and no bending in the members.
๏ฑA PLANE structure is bounded by a global X-Y coordinate
system with loads in the same plane.
๏ฑA SPACE structure, which is 3 dimensional framed structure with
loads applied in any plane.
๏ฑA FLOOR structure is a 2 or 3 dimensional structure having no
horizontal movement of the structure
