STAAD.Pro(Structural Design Analysis process) Part-3

STAAD.Pro(Structural Design Analysis process)

Steel Design: 

1. Built-in steel tables including AISC, Australian, British, Canadian, Chinese, European, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and South African. Shapes include I Beam with or without cover plates, Channels, Angles, Double Angles,/Channels, Pipes and Tubes. 
2. User-specified Design Parameters to customize design. 
3. Code Check, Member selection and Optimized Member Selection consisting of Analysis/Design cycles. 
4. Design codes include AISC (ASD and LRFD), AASHTO. Optional codes include ASCE52, BS5950, Canadian, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Indian and Scandinavian. 
5. Weld design for all steel shapes.  

Concrete Design: 

1. Design of Concrete Beam/Column/Slab/Footing as per all major international codes. 
2. Numerical and Graphical Design outputs with complete reinforcement details. 
3. IS 456-2000 for RCC design implemented. 
4. RC retailer as per IS 456-2000 has been implemented which has given a new dimension to RCC design never witnessed in STAAD before. 

Result Verification: 

1. Result verification and display. 
2. Deflected and Mode Shapes based on Joint/Section Displacement for user-specified loading or mode shape number. 
3. Bending Moment and Shear force diagrams of individual members as well as the entire structures. 
4. User-controlled Scale factors for Deflected or Mode shapes. 
5. Force/Moment Envelope Plots as max/min for all loads. 
6. Stress contour plots. 
7. Code Performance Plots for Steel Design. 
8. Powerful on-line Query for analysis/design results. 
9. Animation of Deflected/Mode shapes, Stress Contours. 

Special Features: Query and Report Generator: 

1. These powerful graphics based facilities provide on-screen result verification and customized report generation. User-friendly navigation and organization of data helps you get the information you need with a few simple clicks. 
2. Point and click on a member to obtain all the information on its Geometry, Cross-sectional properties, Forces, etc. even design information such as Allowable Stresses, Governing Code Criteria, Reinforcement layout are available.
