Analysis and Design of Multi -Storey Commercial Building by using Staad Pro and Comparing with Two Seismic Zones

Structural Analysis is a branch which involves in the determination of behaviour of structures in order to predict the responses of different structural components due to effect of loads. Each and every structure will be subjected to either one or the groups of loads, the various kinds of loads normally considered are dead load, live load, earth quake load and wind load. STAAD PRO is a software which is incorporated with all the major analysis engines that is static, dynamic, Linear and non-linear, etc. and especially this Software is used to analyze and design the buildings. Our project "Analysis and design of multi storey commercial building by using staad pro and comparing it with two different zones" is an attempt to analyze and design a commercial building using staad pro. A G+8 storey building is considered for this study. Analysis is carried out by static method and design is done as per IS 456:2000 guidelines. Also an attempt has been made to design the structural elements manually. Drawing and detailing are done using Auto CAD.
