Structural Design Using STAAD PRO

Use of Computer in Structural Designing of Buildings

In earlier periods say in sixties, engineering calculations were done b y
slide rules. Then in seventies, came the era of calculators, which
replaced slide rules completel y. The calculators are very much in
vogue these days but to aid the structural engineer have come
computers which are high -speed calculators and much more. When
similar mem bers (say, slabs, beams columns, footings) are to be
designed, relevant computer programs can be used to get more accurate
methods which were earlier difficult and time -consuming to use
manuall y. For example, frames under horizontal loads were anal ysed b y
portal or cantilever methods manuall y. These gave onl y approximate
results and we had to be satisfied with them. But now, computer can be
used effectivel y to get accurate results.

Computer-Aided Analysis & Design:-

Computers have recentl y been brought in to aid structural designers.
These machines are as effective as the available software (i.e.
computer programs). Programs are available for design of slabs, simpl y
supported and continuous beams. Columns under biaxial bending ,
isolated footings, combined footings and rafts. There are also available
2-D plane frame programs, grids, retaining walls, etc. not only all the
available programs may be to the liking of a designer. The assumptions
made in the development of some programs may not be acceptable to
the structural designer and in one case, it was found that the column
program purchased was valid onl y for short columns and not for long
columns, although at the time of purchase, it was claimed to be valid
for both short and ling columns.

In practice, con tinuous beams, frame anal ysis under horizontal loads
are almost always solved by a computer. Sometimes, an building is
divided into frames in both the principal directions. All the frames
with the vertical and the horizontal loads are put in the computer a nd
the solution is got which includes the complete design of beams at all
the floor levels. Column loads are then assembled manuall y. Column
design under biaxial bending at all levels is done by a computer
program.

A very powerful program STAAD Pro is also available in the market

which can be used for 3-D anal ysis of a building as a whole. It is
useful for anal ysis and design of multi -storied buildings. We may

Using STAAD Pro for analysis & design the Building as a whole
Steps in design
1. Manual design of slabs, stairs, chajjas, non -grid beams, etc.
2. Preparing data for STAA PRO program at all levels i.e
generation of model, load intensities at al l floors and wall load
as u.d.l, support conditions, material properties etc
3. Using computer, feeding data and getting the out -put. It gives
beam and column design at all levels and it also gives column
loads for design of foundations..
4. Manual design of footings.

5. Preparation of structural drawings with foundations and upwards

by AUTOCAD or by manual.

After anal ysis and design by STAAD Pro software we have to note
down area of steel for column at various levels & grouping is done
accordingl y.

For beams be have to do detailing as per SP-34 by noting down the

main reinforcement & Shear reinforcement & at various section floor
wise.

The drawings are prepared floor -wise, starting from the foundation,
plinth beam and upwards and issued to the site for execution in the
same order.
