 MANUAL CALCULATIONS
(STIFFNESS MATRIX METHOD)
TRUSS
RESULT COMPARISON (TRUSS)

Force STAAD PRO Manual Calculation Discrepancy Value

Member 1 1.757 kN 2.902 kN 1.145 kN

The table above show that the value comparison table between result of STAADPRO and
manual calculation. From the table reveal that there is no significant difference between the
results, the largest difference of value is 0.206kN which is by value, we can consider the
STAADPRO result and manual calculation result basically are same due to only minor
difference value. Therefore, we can say that all the results are accurate.

CONCLUSION
By comparing the overall results between manual calculation and STAAD PRO calculation,
we can conclude that the results are similar and nearly same. Base on my diploma intern
experience, some of the engineers initially would use the software to analyse the whole
structural element then uses the manual calculation to check only a few elements to ensure the
accuracy of software calculation before generate the report to client. Because of the results are
quite similar, therefore we can conclude that the manual calculation and STAAD PRO
calculation are accurate and no any error exists.
