Comparative Analysis of RCC Frame Building by using STAAD Pro and ETAB

Civil Engineering is all concerning about the planning, designing and constructing the Structures and makes them able to combat the external loading acting over the structures. Whereas the Structural Engineering is the branch with which structural engineers deals to satisfy the conditions such as strength and serviceability of the structural members. To satisfy those conditions, technology has introduced new advance software which provides the best results without enhancing the requirements. To contend in this emergent proficient market, it is need of a structural engineer to save time so that the analysis and design of a high rise building can be done easily by using a software such as STAAD Pro and ETABS rather than the manual methods. In analysis of a building or any other structure, all the probable loadings acting on that structure are considered and has to clear that whether the structure is safe or not against the loading. Analysis and design of a structure are major find out significant threats to reliability and stability. The reason behind the framed structures is that the width of load bearing walls of a building with more than four storey turn into unusually thick as the brick is weak in compression when compares to cement concrete. Generally a load bearing walled building has 10 to 12 percent lesser floor area than that of R.C.C framed structure. The knowledge of the software is the essential requirement of today’s to go with the technical pace of development of infrastructure. The objective of this study is to check the computability of the results obtained by using software for the design of undertaken structure. For more accuracy, the results obtained by software are validated with the manual methods of design by Indian standards to achieve the accurate results. For design, the basic elements of structures such as beams, columns and a simple frame have been considered. The results obtained for the analysis are equivalent altogether apart from the frame when STAAD Pro and ETABS used.
