Member Load STAAD.Pro Trainer s Manual ġ2 Difference between Nodal and Member Loads. Intro to the equivalent wind load on joints. Explain the steps to add and assign the nodal loads in STAAD.Pro. Difference between force and moment loads.

Session 6 Nodal Load Explain the situations where can we use the nodal / joint loads. Find the self-weight of the project created in the previous sessions. Loads to be added in dead and live loads. Define Dead Load, Live Load, Wind Load, Seismic Load and Load Combinations as per IS Codes.

Compare the result with manual calculation. Explain the reason why we need to change the density value of the concrete. Explain the steps in STAAD.Pro to calculate the same. Explain the need of assigning proper load types for the primary load. Loading - Selfweight Explain the manual calculation steps to find the self-weight of the given beam. Examples / Application: Create a structure and assign groups for Columns, Beams and Braces. Usage of groups in member selection for support, member specification, loads and report setup. STAAD.Pro Trainer s Manual ġ1 By using the group assign supports and material properties. Explain the methods to associate the selected members to the group. Group Specification Define: Group Explain the steps to create a group. Examples / Application: A structure with multiple materials. Relationship between Young s modulus, Poisson s ratio and Shear modulus. Define: Young s modulus, Poisson s ratio, Density, Shear Modulus and Co-efficient of thermal expansion. Explain the steps to assign the material to the members. Default values of material constants in STAAD.Pro. Material Specification Intro to material table. Examples / Application: Bridge structure. Effect of Member Offset in analysis and design.

Give the guidelines and motivate the students to do it for a space frame. Member Offset How can we find the start / end point of a member? Explain the directions to offset. Why? Define: Area of cross section, Shear area, Torsional constant, Moment of inertia. STAAD.Pro Trainer s Manual ġ0 In normal conditions, for a beam Yd > Zd. Explain the steps to assign the member property to the members. Explain the parameters required to create a taper I section. Explain the steps to create the same with prismatic properties. Explain the parameters of standard cross sections for column and beam. Member Property Specification Zd Zd Yd Yd Yb Yd Yd Zd Zb Zb Introduction to prismatic property. Explain all the 4 options used to assign the support to the nodes. Explain the steps to create the support types in STAAD.Pro. Session 5 Support Specification Define all the support types. Create a complicated structure which has frame structure and roof truss by using Run Structure Wizard. STAAD.Pro Trainer s Manual ĩ Run Structure Wizard Create a space from Run Structure Wizard and compare the time taken with translational repeat. Split Beam and Break Beams at Selected Nodes Explain why we need these tools by using image 4 3.

o Sort Criteria Need of renumbering in report setup. Renumber Explain Renumber Nodes and Renumber Members with the following option. o Translational repeat o Delete the unwanted columns Explain why we need to merge the beams. Ask the students to give the steps to create the structure. Merge Selected Members 4-4 Explain the above project where it has a meeting hall in the top floor. STAAD.Pro Trainer s Manual Ĩ Intro to Steel connection design.

Intersect Selected Members 4-3 Explain a structure where two members are intersected (eg: Bridge structure as like as above image, Braces in steel transmission tower, etc) Explain the steps for how to highlight and intersect. Explain the remaining option and how we can get the same result as like as Connect Beams Along. Explain how to create the cantilever beams by using Through a distance option. Explain the tool with the following options o Direction o # of steps o Default step spacing o Link Step o Open base o Renumber o Explain the application of generation flags (after completing the property and loading commands demonstrate the option once again) STAAD.Pro Trainer s Manual ħ Stretch Selected Members 4-2 Explain the situation where we required cantilever beams (eg: balconies). Explain the advantage of using Translational Repeat instead of creating the nodes and joining those by members. o Intro to various types of grids (linear, radial and irregular) Select Menu Explain the various tools used to select the components of the model (nodes and beams) Session: 3 Translational Repeat 3-1 Give the details about the project like dimensions, number of floors, etc. Explain the steps to create the same model by using Snap node / beam. Explain the steps to create the same model in STAAD.Pro. Motivate the students to find the coordinates of the joints / nodes. 2 Model Generation (nodes and members) Explain a simple plane frame model with all the necessary dimensions.
