STAAD Pro - Structural Analysis and Design.pdf

Complete Structural Engineering SolutionAddressing the increasingly complex global seismic requirements as well as the need to integrate the wide array of tools used by professional structural engineers, STAAD.Pro 2006 continues to be the world's most widely-used, customizable and Model with Physical user-friendly structural solutions software. STAAD.Pro 2006 is a combination of a Members robust 3D multi-material structural modeler with a powerful analysis and design engine capable of solving the most complex linear elastic, soil-structure interaction, dynamics and plastic analysis problems. Over 20,000 structural engineering firms from around the world have used STAAD.Pro's exhaustive design tools for steel, concrete, timber, aluminum and composite sections to design low- and high-rise buildings, petrochemical and industrial plants, towers, bridges, foundations, culverts and much more. Intelligent modeling and interoperability empower structural Calculate Transfer Forces engineers to use powerful structural objects like floors (composite or non- for Connection Design composite), slabs, joists, shear walls and bridge decks to assemble, analyze, design and connect their structure in one integrated environment. STAAD.Pro 2006 was designed to streamline the structural engineer's workflow and eliminate the loss of data incurred by using several disjointed applications to exchange information. Full design of a reinforced or post-tensioned concrete elevated slab using RAM Concept can be performed in a matter of hours. A mat Optional Pushover foundation or pile cap arrangement can be designed and detailed automatically Analysis per FEMA using the critical forces from the super structure with STAAD.foundation. A robust 356/440 library of elements including truss, beam, plate, solid, cable and surface along with complex load generators for wind, snow, wave, gravity, vehicle and seismic help save engineers THOUSANDS of hours and expedite the time to actual production. The new STAAD.Pro 2006 includes an optional advanced analysis module with a full pushover analysis (performance based design) as per FEMA 356/440 and steady state analysis. It also improves the efficiency of the popular STAAD.Pro design Steady State and routines by automatically calculating the unbraced length factors, reporting transfer Harmonic Response forces for connection design and introducing a new PBEAM that allows the modeling Analysis of physical members. With enhancements to OpenSTAAD, engineers can now seamlessly integrate STAAD.Pro with MathCAD and Excel sheets eliminating the manual transfer of data.
