TO GUIDE THE STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS FOR THE EFFCIENT USE OF STAADPRO SOFTWARE WITH SOLVED EXAMPLE
6th March, 2004

About the Workshop
Software

STAADPro is one of the popular software tools used by the leading Structural Engineers worldwide. It is very useful software for analysis & design. It addresses all the production needs of the Structural Engineer’s office. The core facilities provided in STAASPro include model generation, visualization tools, static & dynamic analysis, steel & concrete design as per Indian and International codes.

Objective

Many Structural Engineers use this software daily. But due to scarcity of time, many users can not explore all the features. Thus, the full potential of the software is not utilized. Sometimes, mistakes in the input data many lead to erroneous results. The intention of this workshop is to point out and discuss he users, advanced features of the software with simple tricks, so that, the potential of the software is fully utilized. This will improve the productivity in the design office.

The topics discussed shall include

Common mistakes in data file, Do’s and Don’ts, art of modeling and solutions to common modeling problems. Shear wall modeling, rigid diaphragm action for mat foundation, tension only members, Finite Element technique, dynamic analysis, load generations for wind, moving loads, EQ loads as per a IS 1893-2000 and IS800-1984 provisions. Experts are invited to share their knowledge & experience in the design of various types of projects using STAADPro. Advance features like Dynamic analysis, Finite element analysis will be discussed by the experts.
