Analysis and Design of Structures - A Practical Guide to Modeling

Written for engineers of all skill levels, Analysis and Design of Structures A Practical Guide to Modeling is a technical reference guide focused on relating code and design requirements with Bentley s structural analysis software STAAD.Pro. This book provides the structural engineer with a technical reference on the theory and procedures for a structural design, as well as the necessary steps to properly incorporate construction details within STAAD.Pro. It gives the reader a detailed look at how the structural analysis software handles the modeling of beams, plates, and end connections and the distribution of forces and structure displacements. It includes details of STAAD.Pro s ability to export to other programs, such as STAAD.foundation, RAM Connection, and Microsoft Excel, and examples of complete steel and concrete buildings. Analysis and Design of Structures A Practical Guide to Modeling is an essential resource for all structural engineers wanting practical guidance and details for the application of theoretical concepts
