EBOOK on Seismic Analysis and Design of RC Building

I created an ebook for beginners wanting to learn Seismic Analysis and Design of RC Building Using STAAD and Spreadsheet.

Feel free to download draft copy of this..just send a message. FREE EBOOK

DESIGN OFSTRUCTURE USING STAAD AND SPREADSHEET

Design and analysis of structure is normally done in the following procedure:

1. Setting up Design criteria
2. Modeling of structure in STAAD
3. Adding loads in structure
4. Design of Gravity Members
1. One way slab
2. Two way slab
3. Intermediate Beam
5. Design of Seismic resisting Members
1. Girder
2. Column
6. Design of Foundation
7. Compiling the result in a structural design report for submission in city hall.

PART 12- DESIGN OF ISOLATED FOOTING USING EXCEL FROM STAAD RESULT

This video shows how to design an isolated footing using excel from load result in staad.

This video below also shows isolated footing design using RCDC and verified with spreadsheet.

PART 5-GENERATING AUTOLOAD COMBINATION AND VERIFYING STAAD RESULT WITH SPREADSHEET

This shows how important the ff:

1. Defining load cases type will help you generate autoload combination according to your specified code.
2. Seismic weight depends on what dead load or mass you specified on the seismic definition.
3. Spreadsheet verification of seismic base shear accoring to NSCP/UBC 1997.

PART 6-DESIGN OF GRAVITY MEMBERS

This shows design of the following gravity members:

1. One way slab
2. Two way slab
3. Intermediate Beam

PART 7-DESIGN OF GRAVITY MEMBERS

This shows design of the following gravity members:

1. One way slab is designed using the spreadsheet.
2. Two way slab is designed using the spreadsheet.
3. Stringers or Intermediate Beam is designed using spreadsheet.

PART 8-DESIGN OF GRAVITY MEMBER(INTERMEDIATE BEAM)

Intermediate Beams or stringers are also gravity members that directly carries the slab loading and transferred them to girder.
