STAAD PRO

STAAD Pro is a structural analysis and design program software. It’s a comprehensive structural finite element analytical and design application that allows users to perform analysis on structure exposed to statics.

Staad is one of the popular software that is used for analyzing & designing structures like – buildings, towers, bridges, industrial, transportation and utility structures.

STAAD Pro is one of the most commonly used structural analysis and design software. It covers over 90 global steel, concrete, aluminum and timber design codes.

 It can make use of various types of analysis from the traditional static analysis to recent analysis like geometric non-linear study, p-delta analysis, Pushover analysis (Static-Non-Linear) or a buckling analysis.

"Learn Yourself STAAD.Pro V8i" is developed for the learners of the software to provide easy and clear understanding of various features and facilities available in this software. This book can be useful for students and practicing engineers of civil and structural engineering.

What are the disadvantages of STAAD Pro?

• Limitations of Staad Pro Software:
• It gives uneconomical results for multi-story structures.
• Limitations in modeling.
• Analysis of complex structures can be tedious.
• Proper detailing of reports is not available.
• not for brick masonry works.

A physical model created in the structural design software can be transformed into an analytical model for structural analysis.
