This section contains engineering reference material and input commands for structural design using batch mode. The codes are organized by country, material, and edition.

Effort has been made to provide some basic information about the analysis considerations and the logic used in the design approach. A brief outline of the factors affecting the design along with references to the corresponding clauses in the codes is also provided. Examples are provided at the appropriate places to facilitate ease of understanding of the usage of the commands and design parameters. You are urged to refer to the Examples Manual for solved problems that use the commands and features of STAAD.Pro. Since the STAAD.Pro output contains references to the clauses in the code that govern the design, we recommend that you consult the documentation of the code of that country for additional details on the design criteria.
