Who Should Attend

Anyone who plans to become a regular user of STAAD. The class is appropriate for all disciplines, architects, civil engineers, structural engineers & mechanical designers.

Objectives

Upon completion of the class, the student will be able to ....

Analyse and design any beam with any loading type and any kind of supports
Analyse and design any 2D Frame with any loading type for any load sets
Analyse and design any plan (3D) of a RCC building for static loads
Analyse simple steel structures

Prerequisites

Familiarity with the Windows 95 interface and operating system. We recommend the learner to have a thorough knowledge in "Strength of Materials" and should have a good concept of loads, Shear force & Bending Moment, Deflection, Degree of freedom, Supports, Constraints and little FEA concepts. The course covers the complete analysis and design of RCC structures for static loads. A little introduction on steel trusses shall be covered at the end of the course.
