    This document provides an overview of modeling bridge structures using the STAAD structural design software. It discusses the basic STAAD commands, modeling options including plane, space, truss and floor structures, and how to define nodes, beams, plates and other geometry. The document also reviews how to specify member properties, apply loads, release components, and utilize the built-in steel section library in STAAD for bridge design and analysis.

    Bridges Division

    Bureau of Design
    To discuss the basic STAAD commands for
    use in modeling bridge structures.
    At the end of this presentation, the
    participants are expected to:
    gain basic knowledge in modeling bridge
    structures with the use of STAAD structural
    design software
    perform design and analysis of bridges with
    the use of STAAD as an alternative design
    tool for structural design works.
    STAAD-Structural Analysis and Design
    Is a computer software used in 3D modeling
    and analysis of structures.
    Start screen of STAAD
    We can change and check the unit setting either by
    going to the File > Configure menu or by selecting
    Configuration under Project Tasks. In the dialog that
    comes up, choose the appropriate unit system you
    want.
    1. PLANE:

    3DOF per joint


    2. SPACE

    6DOF per joint


    3. TRUSS
    1DOF per joint

    4. FLOOR

    3DOF per joint

    Plate Cursor Geometry Cursor
    Add Beams Add 4-noded Plates
    Add Surface Add 8-noded Solids
    Translation Repeat Insert Node
    Mirror STAAD Editor
    Symbols and Labels View Whole Structure
    3D Render View Viewports
    Graphical Interface

    Structure Wizard
    A) Choose the model Type.
    B) Choose the kind of model
    C) Use the three dots icon to change/edit
    the unequal bays and height.
    A) Menu bar
    Located at the top of the screen, the Menu
    bar gives access to all the facilities of
    STAAD.Pro.

    B) Toolbar
    The Toolbar gives access to the most
    frequently used commands. You may also
    create your own customized toolbar.
    C) Page Control
    Each tab on the Page Control allows you to perform
    specific tasks. The organization of the Pages, from
    top to bottom, represents the logical sequence of
    operations, such as, definition of beams, specification
    of member properties, loading, and so on. Each tab
    has a name and an icon for easy identification. The
    name on the tabs may or may not appear depending
    on your screen resolution and the size of the
    STAAD.Pro window. However, the icons on the Page
    Control tabs always appear. The Pages in the Page
    Control area depend on the Mode of operation. The
    Mode of operation may be set from the Mode menu
    from the Menu bar
    D) Main Window
    This is the largest area at the center of the
    screen, where the model drawings and results
    are displayed in pictorial form.
    E) Data Area
    The right side of the screen is called the Data Area, where
    different dialogs, tables, list boxes, etc. appear depending
    on the type of operation you are performing. For example,
    when you select the Geometry | Beam page, the Data Area
    contains the Node-Coordinate table and the Member-
    incidence table. When you are in the Load Page, the
    contents of the Data Area changes to display the currently
    assigned Load cases and the icons for different types of
    loads. The icons in the toolbar as well as in the Page
    Control area offer ToolTip help. As we move the mouse
    pointer over a button, the name of the button called a
    ToolTip appears above or below the button. This floating
    Tool tip help will identify the icon. A brief description of
    the icon also appears in the status bar. We are now ready
    to start building the model geometry.
    Required section properties:
    Prismatic Circular

    Tee Trapezoidal
    BUILT-IN STEEL SECTION LIBRARY
    By specifying release components, individual
    degrees of freedom are release from analysis.
    Member release should not be applied on a
    member which is declared TRUSS, TENSION
    ONLY or COMPRESSION ONLY.
