Project: 2.1
Q). Calculate the Bending moment, shear force and deflection of simply supported beam
in staad pro and compare it with manually?
Sol.) Let us take example a beam of 5m span having cross section of (0.5 x 0.3)m and
having flexural rigidity 2x 10^5 mm4.

a) By using STAAD Pro: S.F. at support = 10 KN

B.M. at mid span = 12.5 KNm
Deflection at mid span = 0.052 mm

Maximum Bending Moment using Staad Pro. Result

b) By analytically:

S.F. at support = / 4 = 4 x 10 KN
2

B.M. at mid span = wl /8 = 4 x 25/8 = 12.5 KNm

Deflection at mid span = 5 wl3/384 EI= 0.052 mm

Conclusion: The result obtained from the software and analytically are hundred percent
same.

Conclusion: - It is clear from the above figures that the B.M. and deflection are greater in
case of hinged support. Hence it always preferable to design the structure by assuming
the hinged support since it provides safer design of frame.

following figure and compare it when provided with plinth beam at 2m from base ?

Loading of 3KN/m on each beam

Beam = 0.3x0.25m

Conclusion: - The frames which are provided with the plinth beam are less liable to
deflection and bending moment. Due to the provision of plinth beam the displacement is
not transferred to the column below the plinth beam and it also reduce the effect of
bending moment since column will become more short due the reduction its effective
length and shear force is approximately same in both cases.

Conclusion: - The results obtained from the various combinations are different with each
other. In case of beam the bending moment and shear force is greater for the combination
of dead load and live load and for column the shear force and bending moment is
maximum for combination of dead load, live load and wind load. The lateral
displacement is higher in frame for the combination of dead load and wind load. The
staad pro will design the frame for the most critical case or combination.

Project: 2.6
Q). Write down the step for analysis and design of ELEVATED INTZ TANK shown in
figure?

Sol). The steps are as following for designing of elevated intz tank are described as
followings:1. We select Grid origin option and set origin as 0,20,0. Then set the construction
lines 8, 6 at a distance of 1m apart. After construction of grid using the snap beam
join option make the tank as shown in figure.

16

2. Use the circular repeat option along the y axis to model the tank at angle of 20
degree and no of step kept 1. After that using the infill plate tool select the whole
section create the infill plate in structure diagram. Now assign the fixed support to
the bottom of plate.

3. Select the hydrostatic in plate load option and give water pressure to the plate by
knowing the density of water. Use the circular repeat option at angle of 360
degree no of steps kept 17 make it whole model.

17

4. Now Run the analysis and label the plate contour option showing the variations of
stresses. Make the plate at the hollow bottom of tank and apply the pressure to the
plate -5Mtom/m2.

5. After that construct the column and beam as per the modeling design and assign
the support to the column. Now assign the self weight and wind load in X OR Z
direction and describe the concrete design property as per IS 456:2000. Run the
analysis and go to the post processing mode to view the deflection, shear force,
plate stresses and concrete design.

18

In this way an intz tank can be analyzed and designed using the staad pro software.

Project: 2.10
Q). Theload system shown in figure moves from left to right on a girder of span 10m.
Find the absolute maximum bending moment for the girder and also compare with
analytically.

Sol).
a) By analytically:
Let us determine the position of the resultant of all the wheel loads with respect to the
leading 70KN. Let the distance of the resultant load from the leading load, we have,
400x= 70x0 +150 x 1 + 60x1.5 + 120x2
x= 1.2m from the leading 70KN load.
Distance between the resultant load and the 150KN load, 1.20-1.00 = 0.2m
Hence, for the condition of absolute maximum bending moment, the 150 KN load should
be placed 0.1m on the right side of the centre of the girder
Taking moments about the end A, we have,
Vb x 10 =400x4.9, Vb=196KN and Va=400-196KN=204KN
Absolute maximum bending moment for the girder = B.M. Under the 150KN load
196x4.9-70x1KNm = 890.0KNm

22

b)By Staad Pro.:

Using vehicle definition application

Conclusion: The absolute bending moment value obtained from the staad pro. is 890.0
KNm. Hence it is concluded that the results obtained for rolling load in staad pro and
analytically are exactly same.
