About STAAD.Pro

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. The program hence consists of the following facilities to enable this task. 1. Graphical model generation utilities as well as text editor based commands for

creating the mathematical model. Beam and column members are represented using lines. Walls, slabs and panel type entities are represented using triangular and quadrilateral finite elements. Solid blocks are represented using brick elements. These utilities allow the user 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.

2. Analysis engines for performing linear elastic and pdelta analysis, finite element analysis, frequency extraction, and dynamic response (spectrum, time history, steady state, etc.).

3. Design engines for code checking and optimization of steel, aluminum and timber members. Reinforcement calculations for concrete beams, columns, slabs and shear walls. Design of shear and moment connections for steel members.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. A library of exposed functions called OpenSTAAD which allows users 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. Thus, OpenSTAAD allows users to link in-house or third-party applications with STAAD.Pro.

Part II - STARDYNE VERIFICATION PROBLEMS

1 Uniform Beam With One Redundant Support. A uniform beam is clamped at one end and is simply supported at the other end. This arrangement of supports offers the minimum analytic difficulty for an indeterminate structure. The single load case is a uniformly distributed vertical force of 100 pounds per inch. Find the moment at the clamped end, the reaction at the simple support, and the mid-span deflection.

1

2 Indeterminate Frame. A statically indeterminate frame, consisting of three members, has a concentrated force applied at mid-span. The two vertical members are hinged at the ground support points. The reaction forces and, the bending moments at the ends of the horizontal beam will be determined.

5

3 Uniform Pressure On A Circular Plate. Deflections and stresses for a circular plate structure are determined, for a uniform pressure. The plate is simply supported around its entire periphery.

11

4 Uniform Pressure On A Rectangular Plate. A rectangular plate, 10in X 16in, , of constant thickness of 0.2in., is simply supported along all four edges. The applied loading is uniform pressure over the entire surface. The analysis results are lateral deflections and bending stresses.

17

5 Static Analysis Of Thermal Loading. The internal loads caused by a temperature change are analyzed in this example. The subject is a pipe line with two right angles. Both ends are completely restrained. Internal forces and moments will be computed for a temperature increase of 430 degrees F.

31

6 Imposed Deflections On Beam. A beam which is supported at three points (nodes 1, 2 and 3) has imposed translations specified at each of these points. Additionally, an imposed rotation is specified at node 1. There are no external loads applied to the structure. The static response of the structure due to these imposed deflections and rotation is calculated.

37

7 Natural Modes of a Simple Beam. The first five natural frequencies and the associated mode shapes are computed for the flexural motion of a simply supported beam. The HQR and LANCZOS solution methods are both tested.

41

Page 7: STAAD+PRO.nrc Verfication Manual 2005

8 Natural Frequencies Of A Circular Plate. A flat circular plate is simply

supported around the entire perimeter. The first six modes and their associated natural frequencies are to be computed using the HQR method offered by STARDYNE. This problem demonstrates that the natural frequencies of an axi-symmetric structure can be accurately computed utilizing a 180 degree model with the appropriate boundary conditions.

45

9 Natural Frequencies Of A Rectangular Plate. A flat rectangular plate is simply supported on all four sides. The first six modes and their associated natural frequencies are to be computed for this structure using the LANCZOS method offered by STARDYNE. This problem also demonstrates that the mesh refinement can be chosen to accurately calculate modes of interest based on the expected mode shapes.

51

10 Natural Modes Of A Framework. A three dimensional frame is analyzed for its natural frequencies and the associated mode shapes using the HQR method offered by STARDYNE.

57

11 Response Of A Simply Supported Beam To A Shock Spectrum. The supports of a simply supported beam are subjected to an acceleration time history. The maximum bending moment in the beam is computed for the first mode of the structure. This problem demonstrates the capabilities of STARDYNE to calculate the correct modal response of a structure utilizing response spectrum data.

63

12 Thermal loading on a Simply supported Rectangular Plate. A rectangular plate is simply supported on all four sides. The transverse and longitudinal bending moments as well as the deflections at several points on the plate are computed.

Fx = 8.71 kip (compression), Mz = 56.50 k-ft Since L is less than Lc (6.85ft) [Clause F1-2 page 5-45 of Manual] Fb = 0.66x36 = 23.76 ksi (Clause F1-1 page 5-45 of Manual) (kl/r)y = 60/1.5038 = 39.90, so Fa = 19.19 ksi Table C-36 page 3-16 of Manual fa = 8.71/7.65 = 1.1385, fb = 56.5 x 12/33.39 = 20.31 ksi Since fa/Fa less than 0.15, apply formula H1-3, page 5-54 of Manual 1.1385 + 20.31 = .0593 + .8548 = 0.9141 19.19 23.76 Member 3, Size W14X43, L = 11ft., a = 12.6 in2, Sz = 62.7 in3 From observation load case 3 will govern, Fx = 25.5 kip (compression), Mz = 112.173 k-ft Refering to clause F1-2, page 5-45 of Manual. Lc = 8.4 ft. Therefore, Fb = 0.6 x 36 = 21.6 ksi (kl/r)y = 132/1.8941 = 69.69, so Fa = 16.46 ksi [Table C-36 page 3-16 of Manual] fa = 25.5/12.6 = 2.024, fb = 112.173 x 12/62.66 = 21.48 ksi since fa/Fa less than 0.15, use formula H1-3, page 5-54 of Manual

Member 7, Size W16X36, L =4ft, a = 10.6in2, Sz =56.49in3 Lc = 7.37ft (Clause F1-2 page 5-45 of Manual) From observation load case 3 will govern, Fx = 24.06 kip (tension), Mz = 62.96 k-ft From Clause F1-1, Fb = 0.66 Fy = 23.76 ksi = allowable compressive stress. Since section is in tension, Fb = 0.60X36 = 21.60 Ksi [Clause F1-5, page5-45 of Manual].

Choosing the larger of above 2 values, Fb = 23.76 Ksi fa = 24.06/10.6 = 2.2698, fb = 62.96X12/56.49 = 13.37 Since combined tension and bending, use formula H 2-1, page 5-55 of the AISC ASD 9th ed. specs. 2.2698 + 13.37 = 0.105 + 0.5627 = 0.6677 0.6 x 36 23.76 Member 8, Size L4x4x1/4, L = 7.071 ft, a = 1.94 in2 From observation load case 1 will govern, Fx = 23.04 kip (Comp.) Fa is computed as per page 5-310 of the AISC ASD 9th ed.specs. Qs = 1.34 – 0.00447*(4/0.25)*sqrt(36) = 0.9108 Qa = 1.0, Q = Qs * Qa = 0.9108 Cc = sqrt(2.0*pi*pi*E/(Q*Fy)) = sqrt(2.0*pi*pi*29000/(0.9108*36)) = 132.1241 Kl/r = 7.071 x 12 = 106.73 is less than Cc.

0.795 Hence, Fa = 11.6027 ksi (computed per equation 4-1)

Page 65: STAAD+PRO.nrc Verfication Manual 2005

STAAD Verification Problems 55 Actual compressive stress fa = 23.04/1.94 = 11.876 ksi Therefore, Ratio = fa/Fa = 11.876/11.602 = 1.024 Member 9, Size L5x5x3/8, L = 5.657 ft, a = 3.61 in2 From observation, load case 1 governs, Fx = 48.44 kip (Comp.) Fa is computed as per page 5-310 of the AISC ASD 9th ed.specs. Qs = 1.34 – 0.00447*(5/0.375)*sqrt(36) = 0.9824 Qa = 1.0, Q = Qs * Qa = 0.9824 Cc = sqrt(2.0*pi*pi*E/(Q*Fy)) = sqrt(2.0*pi*pi*29000/(0.9824*36)) = 127.2238 (Kl/r)min = 5.657 x 12 = 68.57 is less than Cc.

0.99 Hence, Fa = 16.301 ksi (computed per equation 4-1) Actual compressive stress fa = 48.44/3.61 = 13.418 ksi Therefore Ratio = fa/Fa = 13.418/16.301 = 0.823

STAAD Verification Problems 65

NOTES STAAD reports that it is unable to find a suitable bar arrangement to satisfy the reinforcement requirement for the negative moment at the two ends of beam 2. However, this does not mean that it is impossible to come up with a bar arrangement. When STAAD looks for a bar arrangement, it uses only bars of the same size. It begins with the bar size corresponding to the parameter MINMAIN. If an arrangement is not possible with that bar, it tries with the next larger bar size. If all the permissible bar sizes are exhausted, the program reports that it could not come up with a bar arrangement. However, the user may be able to satisfy the requirement by mixing bars of various diameters. For example, 3 # 11 bars and 2 # 10 bars may satisfy the requirement. The program is not equipped with facilities to come up with such combinations of bar sizes.

STARDYNE Verification Problems 1

STARDYNE Verification Problem No. 1

Type: Uniform Beam With One Redundant Support. Purpose: Compare theoretical answers to the STARDYNE

solution. Reference: Timoshenko, S., “Strength of Materials”, Part I,

Second Edition, D. Van Nostrand Company, 1940, pages 181 and 182.

Problem: A uniform beam is clamped at one end and is

simply supported at the other end. This arrangement of supports offers the minimum analytic difficulty for an indeterminate structure. The single load case is a uniformly distributed vertical force of 100 pounds per inch. Find the moment at the clamped end, the reaction at the simple support, and the mid-span deflection.

Page 80: STAAD+PRO.nrc Verfication Manual 2005

STARDYNE Verification Problems 2 Model Two beam elements are sufficient for the analysis. The center node is included so that the mid-span deflection will be printed. Shear deformation is not included in the analysis. The beam has a solid circular cross-section, with a diameter of 1.5 inches. The material has an elastic modulus of 30x106 psi.

STARDYNE Verification Problem No. 2

Type: Indeterminate Frame. Purpose: Compare theoretical answers to the STARDYNE

solution. Reference: Timoshenko, S., “Strength of Materials”, Part I,

Second Edition, D. Van Nostrand Company, 1940, pages 188 thru 191.

Problem: A statically indeterminate frame, consisting of

three members, has a concentrated force applied at mid-span. The two vertical members are hinged at the ground support points. The reaction forces and, the bending moments at the ends of the horizontal beam will be determined.

Page 84: STAAD+PRO.nrc Verfication Manual 2005

STARDYNE Verification Problems 6 Model Five nodes and four beam elements form the computer model. Node 3, at the center of the horizontal member is required for the input of the applied load. For the restraints at Node 1 and 5, the X2 axis degress-of-freedom are input as being free to rotate. Shear deflection is not used for the beams. The analysis considers both axial and bending deformation of the beam elements, while the theory uses only bending deformation. The differences of the reactions and internal moments is infinitesimal.

Material Properties Elastic Modulus = 30 x 106 PSI Vertical Beams = 2 x 2 inches (Square) Horizontal Beam = 4 x 2 inches (Rectangular)

STARDYNE Verification Problem No. 3

Type: Uniform Pressure On A Circular Plate. Purpose: Compare theoretical answers from small deflection

plate theory to the STARDYNE solution. Reference: Timoshenko, S., and Woinowsky-Krieger, S.,

“Theory of Plates and Shells”, Second Edition, McGraw-Hill, 1959, pages 42 and 57.

Problem: Deflections and stresses for a circular plate

structure are determined, for a uniform pressure. The plate is simply supported around its entire periphery.

Note : While analyzing this model using the

“STARDYNE Advanced Analysis” option, the following settings have to be chosen for the “STARDYNE Element Type” : Quadrilateral - Thin Triangular - Thin

Page 90: STAAD+PRO.nrc Verfication Manual 2005

STARDYNE Verification Problems 12 Model The model consists of a triangular and quadrilateral elements. The quad plates are individually sized so that each plate has the same aspect ratio. This node spacing was selected because it gives the best agreement with the theoretical deflections and stresses.

Discussion: The difference in results between the theoretical solution and the STARDYNE solution can be accounted for by the following reasons. The theoretical solution assumes that the plate is clamped against rotation about the radial lines at its outer periphery. The only permissible rotation along the periphery is about the tangential lines. However the support condition in the STARDYNE model assumes that the plate is free to rotate about the global X1 and X2 axes. Also, while the example in the Reference has a true circular circumference, the STARDYNE model assumes the outer edge of the plate to be a series of secant lines instead of a true arc.

Model One inch node spacing is used in both directions to form the grid of the model. The origin is located at the center of one edge, to conform with the location used in the theoretical development. The only rotation degree-of-freedom that is active for the edge nodes is the one whose axis is parallel to the edge. At the four corner nodes, all 6 degrees-of-freedom are restrained. Theoretical Answers Deflection at any point on the plate is:

Within the theoretical expressions, for deflections and moments, are infinite series with index m. The number of terms evaluated, for a particular set of coordinates x, y, was established by: 1. The maximum number of terms accumulated was 100. 2. Fewer than 100 terms were used if the ratio of the current term

to the first term (m = 1) was less than 1x10-16. Note : While analyzing this model using the

solution. Reference: Norris, C.H., and Wilbur, J.B., “Elementary

Structural Analysis”, Second Edition, McGraw-Hill, 1960, Example 13.20, page 442.

Problem: A beam which is supported at three points (nodes

1, 2 and 3) has imposed translations specified at each of these points. Additionally, an imposed rotation is specified at node 1. There are no external loads applied to the structure. The static response of the structure due to these imposed deflections and rotation is calculated.

Page 116: STAAD+PRO.nrc Verfication Manual 2005

STARDYNE Verification Problems 38 Model Four nodes and three beam elements are used for this model. The imposed deflections and rotations are: Node 1: X2 = -.12 inches, X6 = -.001 radians Node 2: X2 = -.48 inches Node 3: X2 = -.21 inches

Theoretical Results Numerical answers are presented for four items, in the above Reference. They are:

(a) The slope at the center support of -.0007 radians. (b) The slope at the right-hand support of .0026 radians (c) A bending moment, at the left-hand built-in support, of

3.15 x 106 inch pounds. (d) A bending moment, at the center support, of 3.3 x 106

inch pounds. Both the rotation angle and the moment sign conventions are reversed between the Reference and STARDYNE. Therefore, the algebraic sign on the above four results have been reversed. Also,

Type: Natural Frequencies Of A Circular Plate Purpose: Compare theoretical answers to the STARDYNE

solution. Reference: Blevins, Robert D., “Formulas for Natural

Frequency and Mode Shape,” Van Nostrand Reinhold Company, 1979, Page 240.

Problem: A flat circular plate is simply supported around the

entire perimeter. The first six modes and their associated natural frequencies are to be computed using the HQR method offered by STARDYNE. This problem demonstrates that the natural frequencies of an axi-symmetric structure can be accurately computed utilizing a 180 degree model with the appropriate boundary conditions.

Page 124: STAAD+PRO.nrc Verfication Manual 2005

STARDYNE Verification Problems 46 Note : While analyzing this model using the “STARDYNE

Advanced Analysis” option, the following settings have to be chosen :

STARDYNE Element Type :

Quadrilateral - Thin Triangular - Thin

STARDYNE Analysis Type :

Analysis Type : Linear Static/Dynamic Analysis Modal Extraction : HQR

Model The 180 degree sector was modeled using radial lines at intervals of 15 degrees. Tangential lines were then located utilizing a relationship such that the aspect ratio of the quad-plate elements was approximately 1.0. All rotations normal to the plane of the plate were restrained. In-plane translations for all nodes were restrained because the theoretical solution does not consider in-plane effects. Rotations about the global X2 axis for the nodes at X1=0.0 were restrained because this is a symmetry boundary. X3 translation of all nodes on the outside radius were restrained to provide for the simply-supported condition. Quad-plate elements with only bending and transverse stiffness (STARDYNE Element Type = Thin) were used because of the conditions on the theoretical solution noted above. Likewise, tri-plate elements with only bending and transverse stiffness were used to model the inner elements.

Page 125: STAAD+PRO.nrc Verfication Manual 2005

STARDYNE Verification Problems 47

It should be noted that the outside edge of the plate is a series of secant lines instead of a true arc. This will result in a loss of about 1% of the plate’s true mass or about .5% of the mass that is effective for this problem. Therefore, it is not unlikely that a few natural frequencies will be lower than the theoretical values instead of higher which is typical for a finite element analysis using plate elements. In addition, a true simple-support condition for this problem would require restraining the component of rotation that is radial to the outside edge.

Discussion All anti-symmetric mode shapes for the 360 degree circular plate were captured by the 180 degree model with a phase angle included in the calculation. Some of the difference between the theoretical and STARDYNE frequencies is attributed to the loss of mass due to the piecewise secant representation of the outer radius and, since this mass is about 1 percent lower than for a true circular plate, it is not surprising that the first few modes are lower than the theoretical solution.

Problem: A flat rectangular plate is simply supported on all

This problem also demonstrates that the mesh refinement can be chosen to accurately calculate modes of interest based on the expected mode shapes.

Model A plate with an aspect ratio of 1.5 was used so that comparison could be made with theoretical results tabulated for plates in the reference. An equally spaced mesh was utilized in both the x and the y dimensions of the plate. The number of elements in each dimension was determined on the basis of the highest mode of interest. Since the number of half-waves in the sixth mode is 3 in the length dimension and 2 in the width dimension, a node spacing of 3.75 inches results in each half- wave being represented by four elements which means that no element will be expected to deform in double curvature. The simply supported edge condition requires that translation normal to the plane of the plate be restrained for these edge nodes. Rotations normal to the plate were restrained for all nodes.

STARDYNE Verification Problem No. 11

Type: Response Of A Simply Supported Beam To A Shock Spectrum.

Purpose: Compare theoretical answers to the STARDYNE

solution. Reference: 1. Biggs, John M., “Introduction to Structural

Dynamics,” McGraw Hill, 1964, pp. 256-263 2. Blevins, Robert D.,“ Formulas for Natural Frequency and Mode Shape,” Van Nostrand-Reinhold, 1979.

Problem: The supports of a simply supported beam are

subjected to an acceleration time history. The maximum bending moment in the beam is computed for the first mode of the structure. This problem demonstrates the capabilities of STARDYNE to calculate the correct modal response of a structure utilizing response spectrum data.

Page 142: STAAD+PRO.nrc Verfication Manual 2005

STARDYNE Verification Problems 64 Model The STARDYNE model consists of 11 nodes and 10 elastic beam elements. Node 1 is completely restrained with the exception of having rotational freedom in the X3 direction, the remaining nodes are restrained except for X1 and X2 displacements and X3 rotations. Node 11 is additionally restrained against displacements in the X2 direction to provide for the simple support condition . Only the contribution of the first mode of the structure is considered. x2

Type: Thermal loading on a Simply supported Rectangular Plate.

Purpose: Compare theoretical answers to the STARDYNE

solution. Reference: Timoshenko, S., and Woinowsky-Krieger, S.,

“Theory of Plates and Shells”, Second Edition, McGraw-Hill, 1959, pages 162 - 165.

Problem: A rectangular plate is simply supported on all four

sides. The transverse and longitudinal bending moments as well as the deflections at several points on the plate are computed.

All dimensions are in inches

Model The plate is modeled using 1 in. X 1 in. size elements. At the corner nodes, all the degrees of freedom are considered restrained. For the nodes along the four edges, rotation is permitted about that edge. Note: While analyzing this model using the ‘STARDYNE Advanced Analysis’ option, the following setting has to be chosen: STARDYNE Element Type:

Quadrilateral - Thin Theoretical Solution From the Reference, equation (j), the expression for deflection normal to the plate surface is:
