Overview

STAAD. Pro is a structural analysis and design software which is widely used to analyse and design structures for bridges, towers, buildings, transportation, industrial and utility structures. The software has now its latest version, STAAD.Pro V8i with new and improved features. The STADD.Pro V8i can now analyse and design any engineering structure. It is the world’s number one structural analysis and design software that supports Indian and all international codes. Structural engineering firms, structural consultants, departments in construction companies, owner/operators, and government agencies, and offshore platform designer’s use this software extensively

Objective

The course is designed to offer Participants  all the essentials to learn and use the STAAD.Pro V8i. The enrolled candidates will learn to master the application and will be empowered to deliver high-quality products and services.

What you’ll learn

• Linear Static and Dynamic Analysis of RCC Structures
• Design and Detailing of RCC Beams, Columns , Slabs and Foundations as per IS456, IS13920
• Composite deck and Parametric Modelling
• Snow Load Determination as per ASCE 07
• Determination of Rayleigh Frequency and Modal Frequency of a Structure
• Wind Loads Guidelines as per ASCE07 and ATC Hazards
• Auto Wind Load Generation on RCC Structure as per ASCE 07
• FEM Analysis and Design of Pad Eyes for Lifting Arrangement
•  You will know how to use pull down menus, floating toolbars, and tool tip help carry out flexible zoom and multiple views, have isometric and perspective views and 3D shape.

•  You will know how to use built-in command file editor and simple command language design concrete beams/columns/slabs/footings as per all major international codes
