ST AAD-Pro is a comprehensive structural software that addresses all aspects of

structural engineering especially for model development, analysis, design,
visualization, verification and etc.

STAAD.Pro includes several new exciting features including integrated shear wall
and two-way slab design, a full backup manager, physical members and moment
connections for steel design and the ability to write macros inside of STAAD for
further customization.

STAAD.Pro. is also capable to guide user through the processes of:

a. Creating an input file whether graphically or through a text editor

b. Running STAAD.Pro to perform analysis and design
c. Visualization and verification of the model graphically and numerically
d. Printing the output result as desired

Therefore, the following contents will be covered in this module by using ST AAS.Pro
software:

a. Two dimensional structure analysis

b. Three dimensional structure analysis
c. Structural analysis for plate member

TWO methods in modelling, analysis and design that can be used in STAAD PRO are:
a. Graphic Method using available icons or functions from StaadPro interface
b. Text Method writing commands in Staad Editor

FIVE main steps used in modelling work of a structure by using STAAD PRO program.

1. Modeling:
To study the given structure that is going to be analyzed
To decide the coordinates, node numbers, connection between nodes and types of support.

2. Assigning the load:

To assign loading either static or dynamic on desired elements or nodes on the structure

3. Properties:
To assign material properties such as concrete, steel, aluminium etc.
To assign others undefined material properties by its modulus of elasticity, Poison's ratio,
density, dimension etc.

4. Analysis and design:

To run the program based on the input data used in step (a), (b) and (c)
To check/verify the input data either correct or not.

S. Result:
To view/collect the outputs after analysis/design by running the model

WEEK 2 (TRUSS AND PLANE STRUCTURESl
EXERCISE 3 ...d~

Truss is used to support loading from roof and it is chosen based on the basis of the span, the slope
and the roof material.

Analysis of Trusses
The analysis of trusses is usually based on the
following simplifying assumptions:
a. The centroidal axis of each member coincides
with the line connecting the centers of the
adjacent members and the members only carry
axial force.
b. All members are connected only at their ends by
frictionless hinges in plane trusses.
'. 'r"D _ .... c. All loads and support reactions are applied only at
the joints.

Rigid frame structure consists of column and girder jointed by moment-resistant connection. Open
rectangular arrangement, which allows freedom of planning and easy fitting of doors and windows.
Normally this type of structure is economic up to 20 - 25 stories. It suits for RC building because of
inherent rigidity of RC joint

On the left side of RC Designer window;

1. Click Envelopes: then click New Env. button and put your reference design environment narne->
OK ,
2. Click Members button -> highlight all beams and click Auto Form Member icon I~I
3. Click Groups/Briefs -> click New Briefs button: write Beam and choose BS 8110 code followed by
OK. Any amendment of design parameters can be done by double clicking on the created beam's
name -> Click New Design Group button but make sure the beam members still highlighted.
Then choose the created beam file of Design Brief -> '
4. Click Concrete Member ->make selection on required beam that need to be designed and click
OK

The beam layout, main reinforcement, shear layout, shear reinforcement, and detailing can be
easily viewed through the icons which still in the same function of Concrete Member
