Structural Modeling, Analysis & Design Using Staad Pro Software

This monograph presents a systematic approach for creating structural models, & performing analysis & design of structural systems using STAAD Pro software. The book contains totally 10 chapters, with a introductory chapter discussing the fundamentals of finite element method as applicable to structural engineering design problems. A special chapter discussing the modelling strategy of shear wall/infill wall using plate finite elements and different meshing techniques to be followed is presented. 2nd Edition Added the following exercise problems solved in detail. Analysis & design of simply supported beam with uniformly distributed load, Analysis of a Slab, RC Framed Structure, Analysis & Design of Multi Story Building ,Analysis & Design of Ground Level Rectangular Water Tank. The unique future of this book is, its pictorial representation of STAAD Pro window illustrating the step by step procedure to be followed by the reader in learning the software. This book will be beneficial to the Under graduate Civil Engineering Students, willing to learn the STAAD Pro software on their own & will also serve as a quick reference for consulting structural engineers in Design Offices.
