PROCEDURE IN STAAD.Pro
1. Grids are created according to the dimensions

Span:44m
Length:240m
2. Model is created by using the tools like translational repeat, circular repeat
etc.
3. Initially assumed the properties as
• Column: ISWB 600
• Beams:PIP1683H
• Diagonals: PIP1683H
• Purlins:PIP1937H
4. Load given:
• DL:1861 KN/m on purlins (considering the self-weight of GI roof
sheet)
• LL:4621 KN/m on purlins
• Seismic load
• Wind load
• Combination of load cases
5. Earthquake load is defined and load is generated as per the code IS
1893:2002. (Zone III, Medium Soil)
6. Wind load is defined and intensity is 1720 N/m2.
7. Load combinations are generated automatically as per IS 800:2007.
8. Analysis is done and obtained the results (bending moments, shear force,
displacements etc.)
9. Checked whether the assumed sections are sufficient by carrying out steel
design as per IS 800:2007.

PROGRAMMING FOR STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
a) NEWTON-RAPHSON METHOD
The Newton-Raphson method (also known as Newton's method) is a way to

quickly find a good approximation for the root of a real-valued function f(x) = 0.
The most basic version starts with a single-variable function f defined for a real
variable x, the function's derivative f ′, and an initial guess x0 for a root of f. If the
function satisfies sufficient assumptions and the initial guess is close, then
is a better approximation of the root than x0. Geometrically, (x1, 0) is the intersection
of the x-axis and the tangent of the graph of f at (x0, f (x0)): that is, the improved
guess is the unique root of the linear approximation at the initial point. The process
is repeated as
until a sufficiently precise value is reached.

fun=input('enter the function as a variable of x: ');
x(1)=input('initial guess');
error=input('allowable error');
f=inline(fun);
z=diff(fun);
f1=inline(z);
for i=1:1:10001
x(i+1)=x(i)-(f(x(i))/f1(x(i)));
err(i)=abs((x(i+1)-x(i))/x(i));
if err(i)<error
break
end
end
root=x(i);
fprintf('the approximate solution is %.4f',root)
OUTPUT:
EXAMPLE-1
enter the function as a variable of x: x^2-36
the initial guess of root: 1
The approximate solution is 6.0000
EXAMPLE-2

EXAMPLE-3

b) GAUSS ELIMINATION METHOD
Gaussian elimination, also known as row reduction, is an algorithm in linear

algebra for solving a system of linear equations. It is usually understood as a
sequence of operations performed on the corresponding matrix of coefficients. This
method can also be used to find the rank of a matrix, to calculate the determinant of
a matrix, and to calculate the inverse of an invertible square matrix.
To perform row reduction on a matrix, one uses a sequence of elementary row

operations to modify the matrix until the lower left-hand corner of the matrix is filled
with zeros, as much as possible. There are three types of elementary row operations:
• Swapping two rows,

• Multiplying a row by a nonzero number,
• Adding a multiple of one row to another row.
Using these operations, a matrix can always be transformed into an upper triangular
matrix, and in fact one that is in row echelon form. Once all of the leading
coefficients (the leftmost nonzero entry in each row) are 1, and every column
containing a leading coefficient has zeros elsewhere, the matrix is said to be
in reduced row echelon form. This final form is unique; in other words, it is
independent of the sequence of row operations used.

EXERCISE - 3
INTRODUCTION TO FINITE ELMENT MODELLING
SOFTWARE
Abaqus is a software suited for Finite Element Analysis and Computer aided engineering. There
are many tools used for specific tasks in it. A complete Abaqus analysis usually consists of three
distinct stages: pre-processing, simulation, and postprocessing. There are several modules, which
are to be followed in order to model, load and analyse any particular structure.
Pre-processing
In this stage you must define the model of the physical problem and create an Abaqus input file.
The model is usually created graphically using Abaqus/CAE or another preprocessor, although the
Abaqus input file for a simple analysis can be created directly using a text editor.
Simulation
The simulation, which normally is run as a background process, is the stage in which
Abaqus/Standard or Abaqus/Explicit solves the numerical problem defined in the model.
Examples of output from a stress analysis include displacements and stresses that are stored in
binary files ready for postprocessing. Depending on the complexity of the problem being analyzed
and the power of the computer being used, it may take anywhere from seconds to days to complete
an analysis run.
Postprocessing
You can evaluate the results once the simulation has been completed and the displacements,
stresses, or other fundamental variables have been calculated. The evaluation is generally done
interactively using the Visualization module of Abaqus/CAE or another postprocessor. The
Visualization module, which reads the neutral binary output database file, has a variety of options
for displaying the results, including color contour plots, animations, deformed shape plots, and X–
Y plots.
To start Abaqus/CAE, you click on the Start menu at your computer then chose from programs
Abaqus SE then Abaqus CAE. When Abaqus/CAE begins, the Start Session dialog box appears.
The following session start-up options are available:
• Create Model Database allows you to begin a new analysis.
• Open Database allows you to open a previously saved model or output database file.
• Run Script allows you to run a file containing Abaqus/CAE commands.
• Start Tutorial allows you to begin an introductory tutorial from the online documentation.
40
Abaqus /CAE is divided into a set of modules, where each module allows you to work on one
aspect of your model; the Module list in the context bar allows you to move between these
modules. Other items in the context bar are a function of the module in which you are working;
for example, the context bar allows you to retrieve an existing part while creating the geometry of
the model.
Menu bar
The menu bar contains all the available menus; the menus give access to all the functionality in
the product. Different menus appear in the menu bar depending on which module you selected
from the context bar.
Toolbars
The toolbars provide quick access to items that are also available in the menus. Depending on
which module you are, the toolbar changes accordingly, giving us the tool, we need in that
particular module. Create lines tool enables us to draw an unscaled rough outline of our structure.
Add constraints tool enables us to give constraints to our structure in areas like equal length,
equal radius, horizontal, vertical, concentric, coincident, etc. Add dimension tool enables us to
convert the roughly outlined structure to the exact dimensions. Similar to Autocad, create fillet
tool converts sharp edges to rounded edges.
Model Tree
The Model Tree provides us with a graphical overview of our model and the objects that it contains,
such as parts, materials, steps, loads, and output requests. In addition, the Model Tree provides a
convenient, centralized tool for moving between modules and for managing objects. If your model
database contains more than one model, you can use the Model Tree to move between models.
When you become familiar with the Model Tree, you will find that you can quickly perform most
of the actions that are found in the main menu bar, the module toolboxes, and the various managers.
Results Tree
The Results Tree provides you with a graphical overview of your output databases and other
session-specific data such as X–Y plots. If you have more than one output database open in your
session, you can use the Results Tree to move between output databases. When you become
familiar with the Results Tree, you will find that you can quickly perform most of the actions in
the Visualization module that are found in the main menu bar and the tool box.
