INTRODUCTION
Use of Computers in Structural Design of Buildings
• Computers can perform complicated computations at a
high-speed therefore computer programs are used for
analysis & design of structural members.
• Computer results are dependent on effectiveness of
software as certain assumptions are made in the
development of programs.
• But now, with experience, these softwares have been
revised & updated & computer programs can be relied
upon to give accurate results.

INTRODUCTION
• Limitations of Hand Computation Methods
– Applicable for small problems
– Tedious for even medium sized problems
– 3-d analysis almost impossible
• Advantages of Computer Analysis
– Matrix methods of structural analysis
– Development of numerical techniques
– Finite element method
– 3-d analysis can be done.

STAAD PRO
Use of Computers in Structural Design of Buildings
• STAAD Pro is a very powerful program which can be
used fro 3-D analysis & is useful for analysis and
design of multi-storied buildings.
• Full range of analysis including static, P-delta,
response spectrum, time history, cable etc. and
• Steel design ,
• Concrete design and
• Timber design is available in STAAD PRO

Using STAAD PRO
Using STAAD PRO for Analysis & Design of Building –
Steps In Design
• Manual design of slabs, staircases, chajjas, lintels etc.
• Preparing structural model of building
• Preparing data for STAAD PRO program at all levels
i.e load intensities at all floors & wall load etc.
• Perform Analysis after complete feeding of data and
obtain the analysis out-put.
• Once analysis is completed for different load
combination design is performed for load envelope.

Using STAAD PRO
Using STAAD PRO for Analysis & Design of Building
– Steps In Design
• STAAD PRO gives beam and column designs at all levels &
column reactions for design of foundations.
• Manual design of footings.
• After design by STAADPRO we note down area of steel for
column at various levels & grouping is done.
• For beams we note down main reinforcement & Shear
reinforcement at various sections & do detailing.
• Detailing of reinf done manually as per SP34 & IS 13920
• Prepare structural drawings using AutoCad or manually.

Steps for Static Analysis

• Material Properties
• Sectional Properties
• Supports : Boundary Conditions
• Loads & Load combinations
• Special Commands
• Analysis Specification
• Design Command

Geometric Modeling
