Analysis and Design of Multistory Building by Using Stadd-Pro

In the last few decades tall or multistory buildings has gain very much importance, because in metro cities there is a rapid increase in population with limited land. Most of the people require good accommodations, aesthetic, comfort and safety. That’s the reason for increase in construction of multistory buildings. Earthquake will cause more severe effect on tall buildings compare to small buildings. Due to earthquake asymmetrical buildings will damage more than symmetrical buildings. A review of the analysis and design of a multistory building with STAAD Pro is carried out. Planning is done by using AutoCAD and load calculations were done manually and then the structure was analyzed using STAAD Pro. The dead load, imposed load and wind load with load combination are calculated and applied to the structure. Overall, the concepts and procedures of designing the essential components of a multistory building are described. STAAD Pro software also gives a detailed value of shear force, bending moment and torsion of each element of the structure which is within IS code limits.
