CHAPTER-08 : STAAD Pro.V8i FOR STEEL BUILDING

CHAPTER-08 : STAAD Pro. FOR STEEL BUILDING

Design procedure  of STEEL building using STAAD ProV8i is more complex than design procedure of RCC building.Here, I am showing comprehensiveness of STAAD PRo.V8i for STEEL building,as an example I have choosen a 6-storied steel building.In this CHAPTER, I have ignored some steps as these are given in my previous CHAPTER.

 After assigning RCC slab 3-D view will be as follows.......

Beam to beam & Column to beam connection may be flexible/inflexible or may be fixed/rigid/semi-rigid.After assigning member connection specification 3-D view will be look like this.....

After assigning member properties,material properties,Gravity load,lateral load/wind load,Seismic /Earthquake definition,design code you can go to analysis & design step.Now let us check the maximum node displacement in post-processing mode.

For beam shear bending details will be as follows.......

As an example beam design results may be as follows....

Column unity ratio will be shown by the following figure.....

Main beam unity ratio may be as follows......

Bending Moment diagram for middle frame will be as follows....

End of Analysis,Design & Detail of this building.
