1. Basic Introduction to the STAAD Pro Software
Before we go Professional , this lecture series is intended to teach you about the very basics and advanced basics functions of the STAAD Pro software. You will start with learning modelling , Introduction to the Graphical user Interface , Repeat Commands , Beams, Plates , Solids etc.
Editor file is thoroughly explained with a small example of how it can be utilized to save time. The things taught is this lecture series shall serve as a kick start for the person who does not know anything about the STAAD Pro , but this shall also serve as a refreshment series for those who already know.
2. Linear Dynamic Analysis of Schoolbuilding as per IS 456, IS 875, IS 1893 and Detailing as per IS 13920
This is the only exclusive course on the web that is taking the practical case study of a building starting from Reading the Architectural Drawings and going all the way to Detailing in AutoCAD.
You shall start with learning how to read the Architectural Drawing of a Schoolbuilding and plan the location of RCC Columns. Next you shall learn how you can prepare the AnalyticalModel in STAAD. Wind and Seismic Load Definitions and Calculations are taught in great detail to help you understand how you can design wind and seismic resistant design structures. Response Spectrum Analysis is done for this model. Design and Detailing is done for this structure as per IS 456 and IS 13920:2016.
3. FEM Analysis and Design of Pad Eyes
STAAD Pro is an excellent FEM Analysis software , but user needs to understand how to do it correctly. You shall learn what are the practical aspects of Pad eyes , how they are used . You shall learn how you can prepare the FEM Model and read the stresses for designing after applying Loading on it.
4. Load Generation as per ASCE 07
In this lecture series , you shall learn how to Calculate the Snow Loads and assign its definitions in software. Wind Load is very difficult to understand in the beginning , but Author explains everything in bit sizes about its Auto generation in software. Special focus is given to explain about the Frequency determination i.e. Rayleigh Frequency and Modal frequency. This is the best series for those who are absolutely new to this software.
5. Linear Cable and Advanced Cable Analysis of the Structure
Cable elements used in STAAD are very useful when dealing with cable stayed bridges, suspension bridges, cable nets and guyed poles/towers etc. However, cables are very difficult to model and analyze because of their highly non-linear traits. Cables generally resemble thin steel wires or ropes that are very flexible, often undergoing large deflections. For these reasons, a linear-static analysis is not appropriate and can lead to extremely inaccurate results. STAAD provides us option to do the cable analysis of the Structure. Both Linear and Advanced Cable Analysis of the Structure is explained in this lecture series.
6. Linear Buckling Analysis of Structures
Linear Buckling Analysis is a very interesting concept ,which form the basis of design of many types of structural elements. You shall learn how to do buckling analysis of Column Manually. After getting your concepts cleared , you shall learn how to perform buckling analysis of I shaped Steel Girders , I shape Columns and Cooling Tower.
7. P-Δ Analysis of the Watch Tower Structure and Design as per IS 800
In structural engineering, the P-Δ or P-delta effect refers to the abrupt changes in ground shear, overturning moment, and/or the axial force distribution at the base of a sufficiently tall structure or structural component when it is subject to a critical lateral displacement. Towers are discussed in great detail. The results are compared of the model made with and without P-Delta Analysis. Design of the modelled structure is done as per Indian Steel Design Standard IS 800.
8. Non-Linear Static Analysis of Steel Structures (Pushover Analysis)
In this lecture series , Non-Linear Static Analysis of Steel Structure is done in the STAAD. The pushover analysis is taught in great detail in this lecture series. The modelling is done for a planar structure in STAAD. The pushover curved is generated and the results are ascertained.
