Comptes have become faster and mobil, creative designers have pushed the envelope of possibility and counties around the world compete forthe attraction of capital, resources, and power onthe woe stage, manifesting thei advancement by building skylines neatly half «mile high, Structural enginers ae nt impervious fiom thee trends and have lend to adapt over the past 25 yeas to embrace the new world of design, including expanding their prerequisite o encompass economics, designing for catastrophic man-made events, and working in a fsographiclly dispersed environment, Design has become exponentially more sificule wich a mysiad of design codes asking engincers ocalulate fr seismic, pushoter or nonlinear effets that were not posible without the proper sofovare, powerfl computes, and most of ala basic understanding behind the physics. With che advancement in technology come many caveats including unnecessarily layge and over-diseretized models and interpretation of results from esoteric nalyes ike large deflection, nonlineae dynamics or progressive collapse, Howeves, 25 years ago it wa almost unfathomable to think of building skysrepers inthe ‘idle oft highly seiemic zone o designing guise the impact of an aieplane ‘or putting horptals on base isolator, Todays design software may incorporate the latest advancement in stracteral mechanics, enabling engineers to ate highly sophistcaed models tha emulate the physical acer, but quite often, the inp requred to produce valid esl is not well understood andthe relationship [between the analytical and the physical models isnot synchronized. (My fier, Ant Das, start Research Engineers Intemational in 1981, writing ‘one ofthe first struturl analysis and design sofware forthe PC. STAAD (an ‘csonyen for STrututal Analyse nd Design) had ie rote ftom the mainframe ‘world but ws the first software co ake advantage of iterative design, conducive to the workflow an a PC. Itertive or interactive design ie a process whereby the initial model is mailed sed onthe decisions or eontaits defined by che engineer For ‘example the engineer may want to limit the sizes of specific secondary beams oF the deflection limit of floor by defining constraints in the model When STAAD checks the model agsinst these wer-defined rules, it will automaticaly adjust the ‘model until it saisies the original intention ofthe designer. The voftware was truly innovative on many font, inching the incorporation of aver one hundred international coder, integration with several plan design systems, specialty STAD ‘modules catered to speci industries Uke bridge, tower, or offshore and an open API enabling engineers to integrate commonly used Fxed sheets with their models Butone of the most power inate feature of STAD is the combination of Foreword san input text-based fle with a robust graphical interface‘Thefeiliyof cis ‘workdlow provided engineers a way to quickly modify compler loading patters or Update design constraints through arext-hased system aswell as document heir ode along every step Unlocking the power of his “dua interface” software as ‘enabled engineers around the world to model sophisticated powerplants, stadiums, foreven amusement purk ride. “This book writen by Trevor Jones an old Send of mine who hat been using ‘STAD and stated his taining at Lockwood Greene sa rare gem in that t explains how an analytical software with fout very simple building blocks ean be ‘wed to model some of the mos complex ystems inthe world, Trevor explains Iowa node beam, pat, and solid element wark together to fore a structural sytem to behave a intended in the physical world Understanding the relationship Iherween the degres of freedom exerted by these building blocks on each other ‘will help the reader compechend how to smulte 8 more real-world situation ‘Trevor alo demyatiis some ofthe more complicated yet commonly used functionality in STAAD like modeling floors using misterslave systems, when to model mat foundations with plates oe solids, and various ways of modeling semi-rigid connections, Te biggest challenge Ihave seen with our STAD sess ‘over the ast 20 year ithe resistance to change a worklow due to the lack of Undestandiag of what we called aggregnted commands. For example, Ihave seen hundreds of models where «curviinea structure lke a dome or sludge tank was ‘modeled using Cartesian coordinates. Tew exphins how STAAD can woskin ‘arious coordinate sytem lke Pola or even in multiple local coordinate systems, othe user can en align lads or interpret reslts and can reduce the number of instructions by 75%, Becoming mor funliae with structural ateibues like tthe MEMBER TRUSS or TENSION ONLY commands wil help the user ‘understand how to combine certain effects together and when they ean become problematic worked on «project onetime where I saw a fem interchangeably ‘use the MEMBER TRUSS command and a combination of releases on a beam to ‘simulate the member-only experiencing asa tensile and compressive forces, There i age diference between the two methods and this book explains the various riuances and subleiesbenween these commands. Questions such a theeference ‘between the myriad of dynamics commands ike IBC (equivalent static), response specu, or ime history ae aniwered in layman tems. Advanced analyses have ha a lange following now dat the design codes have ‘ray to dea with che results produce from these rather complex algoritis. [Extensive research and catastrophic events ike the collapse of the World Trade Center naclear meltdowns in Japan and earthquakes in New Zealand Haiti, and the United States have provided engineers with data to help improve their ‘designs. This book does a phenomenal jab of xking the reader through examples ‘of how to choose between a smal Prete or lange P-delea analysis as wells ‘sing nonlinear elements like tenson-only springs for foundation, Trevor ha an textensive background inthe indutey working at Lockwood Greene and CH2M HILL where the seuctures modeled (pipe racks, tanks, substations silos, etc) are subjected to various loads like hydrostatic from materials passing through hoppers ‘or chutes, moving loads fom jb canes or temperature loading from extreme ‘chemical reactions. Trevor dors an exceptional job by taking the eader through ‘ferent loading options in STAD, inclading automatic lad generstors ike the ‘moving, oor, or wind loading to simulate commonly observed external forces. (One ofthe most widely used modules in STAAD init stel and concrete design ‘workflows. Almost every aspect ofthe design can be coawlled through ast of parameters or constrains. But wherever ther is lexi her is room for er ‘or msaterpretation. This ook tales the eaderthrugh the vasious options in both stee and concrete design (using the new AISC 13th eiton and ACI 318 codes) alongwith how to design connections using the RAM Connection ‘modi. This isthe area of STAAD where she infamous ip le (ext editor) ‘comes in extemely handy. Many consider the input ile to be a double-edged ‘sword-—simplitc and elegant and a physieal decument of che model, but can be ‘easly manipulated and quickly prodice overlooked errors. Trevor uses the input file extensively along withthe grapical user interface to demonstrat to the seader how both ean be used saccessillyto make rapid changes such se going from a CODE CHECK toa MEMBER SELECTION or defining different sig criteria for load ease. STAAD's strength lies in the various ways one ‘cin manipulate the mode and Trevor does an exceptional ob by exploiting thie strength. ‘The profession of the structural engineering as gone theough a metamorphosis inthe last quarter century. Without accurate knowledge of how to use computer software like STAAD to simulate the physical world using analytical model, structural engineers would find themselves ats disadvantage working with architects or owners ooking for sustainable, enegy-eficient an reaient structures With the promulgation of BIM (Builling Information Modeling and its emphasis ofa single source of truth, the engineers must rely on various methods of interoperability to exchange iterations dynamically with professionals allover the work, Understanding how to quickly update the model with new change requests is something this book does a great job of covering through practical ‘utmples.
