STAAD SCREEN ORGANISATION A sample of the STAAD/Pro screen is given in Figure below. The screen has five major elements as described below.

Menu bar Located at the top of the screen, the Menu bar gives access to all the facilities of STAAD/Pro. Toolbar The dockable Toolbar gives access to the most frequently used commands. You may also create your own customized toolbar. Main Window This is the largest area at the center of the screen, where the model and the results are displayed. Page Control The Page Control is a set of tabs that appear to the left of the Main Window. There are two rows of tabs for accessing Pages and Subpages. Each Page allows access to certain Subpages. Each Subpage allows you to perform specific tasks. The organization of the Pages, from top to bottom, represents the logical sequence of operations, for example, definition of beams, specification of member properties, loading, and so on. Each "Page" tab has a name and an icon for easy identification. The name on the tabs may or may not appear depending on your screen resolution and the size of the STAAD/Pro window. However, the icons on the Page Control tabs always appear.

The Pages in the Page Control area depend on the Mode of operation. The Mode of Operation may be set from the Mode menu from the Menu bar. Data Area The right part of the screen is called the Data Area, where different dialog boxes, tables, list boxes, etc. appear depending on the type of operation you are performing. For example, when you select the Geometry | Beam Page, the Data Area contains the Node- Coordinate table and the Member-incidence table. When you are in the General | Load Page, the contents of the Data Area changes to display the currently assigned Load cases and the Load Specification dialog box. Notes: 1. Note that the tables and other dialog boxes in the Data Area are physically separate windows. In other words, you may move the Beam table or the Node table from their usual right corner position. If you need to see more of the Main Window, simply maximize it. You may still access the data tables by using the Window menu from the Menu bar. 2. The icons in the toolbar as well as in the Page Control area offer Tooltip help. If you are not sure what a particular icon represents, simply move your mouse on top of the icon and wait a moment. A floating Tooltip help will identify the icon. 3. The STAAD/Pro menu items are not "Page"-dependent. This means that you may access any menu item at any point in time. For example, in the Geometry | Beam Page, you may select menu command sequence Commands | Material Constants | Material T a b l e t o e di t a material table. Similarly, t h e T o o l b a r i t e m s a r e a l s o independent of the Page.

Problem-2 Analyze and design this 2-roomed building with 2 balconies,for G+5 floors Load: 1 Self weight Load: 2: External Beams: Wall load of 12kn/m Internal Beams: Wall load of 6kn/m Load 3: Floor Load or 6 kn/m.

5m x (4m+4m): Balcony: 1.5m

Problem -3 Analyze and Design this 2 Roomed building with balconies merged in the Room, for G+5 structure Load: 1 Self weight Load: 2: All Beams: Wall load of 12kn/m Load 3: Floor Load or 6 kn/m. Load comb-4 = 1.5 (1+2+3) Dimensions: X=4.5m, Balcony=1.5m Z=3.5m+3.5m

PROJECT-1 Draw the plan on your book. Draw another figure only with column positions and beam lines. Show the same to your STAAD. Trainer and then proceed with modeling, analysis and design of the problem for g+2 structure.

This is one unit (portion) of an apartment. Ignore the thought of corridor, staircase and lift while solving this problem..

PROJECT-2 Draw the centre line plan on your book and perform the design for G+ 2 structure. This is one unit of a multistory complex. So ignore the thought of other units, stair case, lift etc.

Project -3 (Real-time approach) Analyze and Design building as g+3 structure Load: 1 Self weight Load: 2: External Beams: Wall load of 12kn/m Internal Beams: Wall load of 6kn/m Load 3: Floor Load or 6 kn/m. (Slab opposite to staircase = 8 kn/sq.m) -------------------------------------------7 x 3.5 m-----------------------------------------

Steps 1) Model ground floor for beam loads of 45kn/m and watch for Mz and My for columns and also watch whether the structure has any geometry mistakes in deflection diagram. If for any column My > Mz, rotate such columns by giving Beta 90. 2) Then analyse the structure once again with changed Beta angles for columns and make sure whether Mz > My. 3) Then copy the structure to 3 more floors and analyse again and watch for deflection and ground floor column moments. 4) Now give the real loads as Load-1 (self weight), Load-2 (wall loads), Load-3 (slab loads) and give a combination 4 as 1.5 (all loads) and analyse the structure. Watch for deflection and also moments for columns for ground floor and moments for beam grid for any particular floor. 5) Then, feed design commands and design ground floor typical columns and one complete beam grid for any floor. 6) Also give 3 5 typical properties to columns and beams. 7) Make new view of all typical columns and watch whether the columns are passing. 8) Proceed with iterations and see that all columns are passed at ground floor level.

9) Then proceed with the design command by choosing other floor levels. 10) Then reduce the top floor column sizes if required to some extent, as part of optimization process.
