Reliability of software analysis in structural engineering (RCC)

Presented by Mr. Nikhil Sunil Kumbhar (niks41@live.com) T.E Civil - Roll No- T5043 Batch T3 Seminar Guide Mr. I.M.Jain Academic Year 2013 2014 Abstract STAAD.Pro, SAP 2000, RSA Pro and ETABS are the present day leading design softwares in the market. Many design companies use these softwares for their project design purposes. So, this project mainly deals with the comparative analysis of the results obtained from the design of a regular multi storey building structure and simpe 2D RCC Frame when designed using STAADPro, SAP2000, RSA Pro and ETABS softwares separately. These results will also be compared with manual scalculations of a sample beam and column of the same structure designed as per IS 456. Keywords: Structure Design, STAADPro v8i, RSA Pro 2014, SAP 2000v 16 and ETABS 2013 1.Introduction STAADPro, ETABS, RSA Pro, SAP 2000 are the present day leading design softwares in the market. Many design companies use these softwares for their project design purposes. So, this project mainly deals with the comparative analysis of the results obtained from the design of a multi storey building structure when designed using STAAD.Pro , ETABS, RSA Pro, and SAP 2000 softwares separately and also determining which one is the most reliable software.

2.Limitations on Manual calculations As the size of structure goes on increasing, manual errors in calculations goes on increasing. Though the size of structure is small, still time require for designing the structure is more. Human can do mistake while calculating for complex elements. Every time human has to refer the code. Lack of good presentation of results. Can not optimize the structure for economy

3.Necessity of Software analysis in structural engineering. To eliminate the manual calculations and errors. To optimize the structure from economy and durability point of view.

To represent the results obtained in powerful manner To compare different design criteria for same structure. For structural detailing which is the most important part of structural design. To save the time by reducing time taken for calculations.(almost in secs) To design the structure as per code of any country.

6.Conclusions From analysis of Case I and Case II, It has been found that Staad.Pro v8i do not satisfy the minimum requirement of steel for compression member given as per IS Code. Also from Case I and II, it is found that Staad.Pro is giving conservative results, whereas Etabs, RSA Pro and SAP are giving closer results compare to Staad. From Case I, It is cleared that there is large variation in results when floor load is applied.

For the RCC building structure, Etabs, RSA Pro are the best software packages. SAP 2000 is also good software but it is designed for general purpose due to which it lacks in detailing of structure, however results obtained are great and satisfy the requirements of Code. Though the each software is good, it is better to check the design in multiple softwares to ensure the reliability of design. Hence from design results, we can conclude that RSAPro, Etabs and SAP are the most reliable softwares, whereas results of Staad in Compression reinforcement do not satisfy in some sections. From Structural analysis results, we can conclude that all the softwares are reliable excluding floor load analysis.
