3.0 IDEALIZATION OF STRUCTURE

The PR steel structure is modelled in STAAD PRO as a 3D Model. The following Modelling, Analysis
and Design assumptions are adopted
 Modelling is done as a wire frame with frame element command to the scale matching with
Architectural GA drawings at center line.
 Standard Sections are used for the beams, columns, tie members and bracing where adequate.
 Loading for the seismic are generated in STAAD (refer the Appendix B) by providing the specified
seismic parameters.
 Other primary loads are applied in the model using the load commands. Load combinations are
defined as per the design basis XXXX-03-000-XXXXX-001
 Design parameters are defined in STAAD Pro with IS 800 LSD code as mentioned in design basis.
After the super structure design, the reactions from the STAAD model are used for the design of
footings. The design of foundations is done by using STAAD Foundation Advance.
