Product Description
by Vignesh Kumar M. (Author)
STAAD Pro is one among the most acclaimed structural analysis & design software used by civil engineers worldwide. This monograph presents a systematic approach for creating structural models, and performing analysis and design of structural systems using STAAD Pro software. The book contain totally 10 chapters, with a introductory chapter discussing the fundamentals of finite element method as applicable to structural engineering design problems. A special chapter discussing the modelling strategy of shear wall/infill wall using plate finite elements and different meshing techniques to be followed is presented. The unique future of this book is, its pictorial representation of STAAD Pro window illustrating the step by step procedure to be followed by the reader in learning the software. This book will be beneficial to the practising engineers and civil engineering students, willing to learn the STAAD Pro software on their own, and will also serve as a quick reference for consulting structural engineers in design offices.
