INTRODUCTION ABOUT STADD PRO

ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF MULTISTORY COMMERCIAL BUILDING, UNDERGROUND WATER TANK, ELEVATED WATER TANK, STEEL TRUSS

STAAD PRO is the leading structural analysis and design software from Bentley. STAAD PRO is the professional’s choice for steel, concrete, timber, aluminum and cold-formed steel design of virtually any structure including culverts, petrochemical plants, tunnels, bridges, piles and much more.

STAAD PRO is being used vastly because of its following advantages:

• easy to use interface,
• confirmation with the Indian Standard Codes,
• versatile nature of solving any type of problem,
• Accuracy of the solution

STAAD PRO features a state-of-the-art user interface, visualization tools, powerful analysis and design engines with advanced finite element and dynamic analysis capabilities.
