Analysis and Design of Hostel Building for 500 Students Capacity Considering Gravity Loads Using Staad-Pro

The main objective of the project is to Analyze and Design of Hostel Building for 500 student’s capacity considering Gravity Loads (Dead and Live Loads) using STAAD-Pro. The foremost basic in structural engineering is the design of simple basic component and members of a building such as Slabs, Beams, Columns, staircases and Footings. The first step is to obtain the plan of the building. Then depending upon the area of the plot and demand for the size of the rooms number of columns are fixed up accordingly. Then the layouts of beams are prepared. Thereafter, the loads are calculated namely the dead loads and live loads. Once the loads are obtained, the component that takes the load first i.e. the slabs is designed depending upon the end conditions and the loading. From the slabs, the load is transferred to the beams. Thereafter, the loads from the beams are taken by the columns. For designing columns, it is necessary to know the moments they are subjected to. For this purpose, frame analysis is done using Staad-Pro.
