STAAD.Pro Help

EX. Chinese Design Examples

The following models are included when STAAD.Pro is installed.

These files are located in the C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\STAAD.Pro 2023\SamplesSample Models\Chinese Steel Design\ folder (default location).

表 1. Chinese steel design examples installed with the program
File name Description
Analysis of a Frame Under Seismic Loads/Analysis of a Frame Under Seismic Loads.STD A plane frame is analyzed for seismic loads. The seismic loads are generated using the procedures of the GB50011-2010 code.
Box Section Member Design/Box Section Member Design.STD A simply supported beam is designed per GB 50017-2017. This example demonstrates how to define and design the box section member in the Chinese Steel Design module.

There are two files in this example: a STAAD.Pro input file (.STD) which contains geometry, property, support, and load data and a .GSP file which contains member design parameters used in the Chinese Steel Design workflow.

This example also includes a drawing file of the general section used for import, Box section.dxf along with the imported user profile table, Bsection.upt.

Generate Loads per Chinese code/Generate Loads per Chinese code.STD A space steel frame is analyzed in which the loads and load combination are generated by Chinese code. In this example, the wind load, response spectrum load and load combination are auto generated per GB 50012-2012 and GB 50011-2010.
Plane Frame with Steel Design/Plane Frame with Steel Design.STD

A space steel structure is designed per GB 50017-2017 code and some typical design parameters is added at the same time. Moreover, seismic load, wind load and load combination are auto generated per GB 50009-2012 and GB50011-2010.

There are two files in this example: a STAAD.Pro input file (.STD) which contains geometry, property, support, and load data and a .GSP file which contains member design parameters used in the Chinese Steel Design workflow.

Seismic Performance Design/SeismicPerformanceDesign.std

A cross frame is designed per GB 50017-2017 Section 17. The model clarifies how to create a seismic performance model in STAAD.Pro through annotations.

There are two files in this example: a STAAD.Pro input file (.STD) which contains geometry, property, support, dissipated Region and load data and a .GSP file which contains member performance design parameters used in the Chinese Steel Design workflow.
