ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF A MULTISTOTEY BUILDING BY USING STAAD PRO

ABSTRACT

The development of the high rise building is associated with the growth of the city closely. The
process of urbanization that started with the age of industrialization is stillin progress in
Developing countries like India, in industrialization causes migration of people to urban centres
where job opportunities are significant. In multi storey frame this can be achieved by allowing
the plastic hinges to form, in a predetermined sequence only at the ends of all the beams while
the columns remain essentially in elastic stage and by avoiding shear mode of failures in
columns and beams Earthquakes in different parts of the world demonstrated the disastrous
consequences and vulnerability of inadequate structures. The land available for building to
accommodate this migration is becoming scarce, resulting in rapid increase in the cost of land,
thus, developers have looked to sky to make their profits, and the result is multi-storeyed
buildings, as they provide a large floor area in a relatively small area of land in urban cities.

In general, the design criteria for buildings are strength, serviceability, stability and human
comfort. Those are the effects of lateral loads like earthquake forces are attaining much more
important and almost every designer is faced with the problem of providing adequate strength
and strength stability against lateral loads. The present study shows the analysis of a structure
using STAAD.PRO software and comparing the results obtained from manual analysis.
