Advanced Materials and Techniques for Reinforced Concrete Structures discusses how to create safety and economy in design, construction, and maintenance operations plans. While attractive to developers and investors, the safe and economic design and construction of reinforced concrete buildings can sometimes be problematic. Thus, OpenSTAAD can be used to link in-house or third-party applications with STAAD.Pro.įrom China to Kuala Lumpur to Dubai to downtown New York, amazing buildings and unusual structures create attention with the uniqueness of their design. Peripheral tools for activities like import and export of data from and to other widely accepted formats, links with other popular softwares for niche areas like reinforced and prestressed concrete slab design, footing design, steel connection design, etc.Ī library of exposed functions called OpenSTAAD which allows you to access STAAD.Pro’s internal functions and routines as well as its graphical commands to tap into STAAD’s database and link input and output data to third-party software written using languages like C, C++, VB, VBA, FORTRAN, Java, Delphi, etc. Result viewing, result verification and report generation tools for examining displacement diagrams, bending moment and shear force diagrams, beam, plate and solid stress contours, etc. Design of shear and moment connections for steel members. Reinforcement calculations for concrete beams, columns, slabs and shear walls. These utilities allow you to create the geometry, assign properties, orient cross sections as desired, assign materials like steel, concrete, timber, aluminum, specify supports, apply loads explicitly as well as have the program generate loads, design parameters etc.Īnalysis engines for performing linear elastic and pdelta analysis, finite element analysis, frequency extraction, and dynamic response (spectrum, time history, steady state, etc.).ĭesign engines for code checking and optimization of steel, aluminum and timber members. Solid blocks are represented using brick elements. Walls, slabs and panel type entities are represented using triangular and quadrilateral finite elements.

Beam and column members are represented using lines. Graphical model generation utilities as well as text editor based commands for creating the mathematical model. The program hence consists of the following facilities to enable this task.

STAAD.Pro is a general purpose structural analysis and design program with applications primarily in the building industry - commercial buildings, bridges and highway structures, industrial structures, chemical plant structures, dams, retaining walls, turbine foundations, culverts and other embedded structures, etc.
