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

b) By analytically:-


Maximum Bending Moment using Staad Pro. Result


S.F. at support = wl /4 = 4 x 54=¿ 10 KN

B.M. at mid span = wl2/8 = 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.

Q). Determine the maximum shear force and bending moment in Space frame given in

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

Sol). Let us provide a Plinth Beam at distance of 1.5m from the support all around of

frame and size of Plinth beam is kept same as size of main beam.

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.

Q). Analyze the following frame for the various combinations of loads as per IS456 limit

combinations are described as followings:-

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.



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.



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.



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

Project: 2.7

Q). Determine the deflection of following frame 16m@2m having grade of steel

415N/mm2 and frame of IS 120x80x12using staad pro.



Sol). Deflection values and shape of frame is showing in diagram as following:

Q). In stiffened bolted connection an ISLB 350@ 485.6 N/m transmits an end reaction of

70 KN and a moment of 30 KNm, to a column ISHB 300@ 576.6 N/m. Design the

connection by Ram connection ?

Fig: Displacement Diagram of Tower

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

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.



3.0 Introduction about OPEN JUMP:-

Open JUMP is a Geographical Information System (GIS), which has been developed

originally by the two Canadian companies Vivid Solutions and Refractions Research

under the name JUMP. The name JUMP is an abbreviation for Unified Mapping

Platform. The "J" points to the used programming language 'Java'. 'Open' is for 'Open

Source', which means that the quell code is accessible for everybody.

a) Features

• Vector-based GIS

• Is based on Open GIS standards http://www.opengeospatial.org/

• written in Java and open source (accessible programming code)

• can be easily extended by Plug-ins.

• Easy to use editing and analysis functions

• Supports several languages (English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and German).

b) Data

An important part of a GIS are the data, consisting usually of geometry data and attribute

data. There are two methods by which we add data to our project.

1) Geometry data

A. By making some freehand drawings with the graphic editing tools. This is a very

simple method is not very common.B. By importing data, stored in a specific file format. OpenJUMP supports the

following formats:a) JUMP GML format (.jml), which is a simplified GML-format.b) GML 2.0 format.c) WKT (Well Known Text) format.d) ESRI Shape file’s

C. By loading a database table from Post GIS (only with additional external plug-in).D. Several external plug-in to load raster image data from files.

2) Attribute Data



A. Through direct input in OpenJUMP. B. By importing the data from files in a specific format. OpenJUMP supports the

following file formats, which also may contain geometry data:a. JUMP GML format (.jml), which is a simplified GML-format.b. GML 2.0 format.c. ESRI Shapefiles (dbf files).

C. 3. By loading a database table from PostGIS (only with additional external plug-

in).

6.0 Conclusion

The entire period of Software Training has given me good & important practical exposure

of construction work. At the end of the Software Training under GNDEC Testing and

Consultancy Cell, Ludhiana" , I feel myself better equipped and ready to face the

software problems related to Civil Engineering works. In these six weeks, I have learnt



how to deal with Authorities and workers under supervision and I have become familiar

with the fact that the actual designing work is much difficult from theoretical knowledge.

But until you don’t have the theoretical knowledge, the practical work is very difficult to

carry-out and understand.

There are four basic phase of any project in civil engineering era:

Planning Designing Construction Maintenance

At the construction site we deal with the construction and maintenance phase of project

but by the means of software training we learn the initial two phase of project which are

Planning and designing.

Working with experienced structure designers has enhanced my technical skills to

a great extent for which I am grateful to them. Their professional approach towards work

is appreciable.

The training has provided me with much needed field exposure to shape up my

thinking in a better way as a professional making me a lot more capable to face the

challenges of life.
