This document provides an overview of STAAD Pro structural analysis software. It discusses the history and introduction of STAAD Pro, the types of structures that can be modeled including buildings, staircases, water tanks, shear walls, and steel structures. The document outlines the STAAD Pro work flow including creating geometry, assigning loads and properties, running analyses, designing structures, and creating reports. It also presents some example student projects modeled in STAAD Pro.

5. History of STAAD.Pro
 STAAD Pro was originally Developed by
Research Engineers International in Yorba
Linda, CA
 In late 2005, Research Engineer International
was bought by Bentley Systems.

6. Introduction to STAAD.Pro
 STAAD.Pro is a Structural Analysis Design Program
Software.
 It is used for 3D generation, analysis and multi-material
design.
 It’s a limit state method concept.
 It will create a framed structure only.
 This is the one and only structural engineering software.
 BEAVA – Bridge Engineering Automatic Vehicle Application

7. STRUCTURE
It’s Combination of Structural Element

11. Framed Structure : ( G+2 & above)
This Structure having the combination of
Beam, Column and Slab to resist the lateral and
gravity loads.
BASED ON LOADING
Load Bearing Structure : ( G+2 )
This Structure instead of
column and Beam, it has walls
taking the load.

16. Steel : ( fy - Tensile Stress)
Mild Steel – Fe 250
High Yield Strength Deformed Bars :
– Fe 415 & Fe 500
TMT – Thermo Mechanically Treated:
The TMT bars have a hard outer surface and a
softer core. Their manufacturing process includes hot
rolled steel wires passed through water
