Staad Pro V8i Foundation Design Tutorial

  1. STAAD.Pro supports Bentley Rebar, AutoPipe, RAM Connection, STAAD.Foundation, and other software. Learning Bentley STAAD.Pro V8i is a comprehensive textbook that has been written to cater to the needs of the students and professionals.
  2. As SFA is a 3D modeling environment, foundation positions are defined in Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z) where Y axis is vertically up and axis system follows right hand rule (like in STAAD.Pro). Foundations can be of various types such as multi column strip (or combined) footing or spread (or pad) footing or a generalized flexible mat foundation.

Multistoried steel structure is now a day’s popular due to its quick installation project. Reduce time of construction and increase productivity of the industry. Fabricating all the structural component like column, beam, bracing all could be connected through bolt in the field. To complete Structural design of multistoried steel structure you need to use any 3D structural modeling software like Staad pro or any other. In this video tutorial series I have used Staad pro for a complete design of structure. Steel structure is mostly used for industrial purposes where quick construction is important. It’s also used in residential project but a little bit lesser than industrial project.

What is this Video Tutorial?

Click on the Product STAAD.Pro. You will be taken to the page below with a number of online training options where you can choose a learning path and an appropriate course. For example you can choose STAAD.Pro –General Structural Designer and click on “Courses” to see the related training courses.

This is complete video tutorial series of multistoried steel structure analysis and design. I have showed from start to finish how to complete structural analysis and design using Staad Pro software completely free. All types of load like DL, LL, wind and earthquake has been applied in the model. If you do not have this program you can download from here for free.

Why use Staad Pro Software?

Staad pro is a much known structural analysis and design software across the world. Civil Engineers are using this software to perform 3D analysis and design for any kind of low and high rise structure. And especially in some country Staad pro is used to perform steel structure analysis and design. Personally I am using this program to perform any kind of steel structure analysis and design. But it is not necessary to use this software to complete design of any steel structure. But here I have use Staad pro, if you are interested to his software then you can watch videos.

What is the design code used for this design tutorial?

There is lots of design code to design any structure in different country. I have used here my local code which is similar with UBC. All the load applied on this structure as per the UBC requirement. Wind, earthquake, Dead and Live load has been calculated and applied as per the requirement of the UBC design code. You have to calculate load as per your local code requirement. Here is the procedure of doing any complete project using any code. Using this procedure you can do any kind of structure as per any code.

What will I learn from this series after watching all the videos?

After watching all the videos on this series you will be able to perform multistoried steel structure analysis and design using Staad Pro software. I have showed step by step how to complete 3D modeling then define load, assign various load including later load and finally perform analysis and design. If you watch all the video of this series hope you will be able to work with this software. This video series is for multistoried structure. You can also learn industrial steel shed design here and Steel truss roof design here.

If you are interested in learning Staad pro software then you can watch this video series. If you know nothing about this software you can start from this video. I have showed everything from the beginning. It has covered beginner to advance level of learning. There are total 9 videos in this post. Watch all the videos and learn this software completely. There is also another video tutorial series on multistoried concrete structure analysis and design, you can find that here.

Note: STAAD.Pro must be installed on your computer before proceeding with this exercise.

You will use STAAD.Pro US Example No. 8 for this example. STAAD Foundation Advanced will use the imported geometry and support reactions to design a mat foundation for the structure.

Foundation

You can only import a STAAD.Pro model that has been successfully analyzed, because you will want to have the support reactions available for the foundation design. So, if you have not already run the analysis for STAAD.Pro U.S. Example No. 8 open the example in STAAD.Pro (C:Spro2007STAADExampUSExamp Examp08.std), run the analysis, and then return to this Quick Tour.
