The API 2A design module has been updated to support the latest errata and supplements. Indian IS 800:2007 enhanced with the working stress design method. Additionally Eurocode 3 steel design updated with options to design to the specific requirements of the Belgian and Singaporean National Annexes as well as the design of slender circular hollow sections, user defined sections and support of shear buckling for a range of sections. Major enhancements to the design modules include, a new ASME NF 3000:2001 design code with options to set service levels in all the ASME NF codes. Loading options have been enhanced with the addition of a load combination generator to Eurocode 0 again using OpenSTAAD and automatic calculation of self-weight loading can be specified for a named group of Surface entities. Seismic analysis can make use of a new ‘mass’ reference load case to reduce duplication of mass definitions. Wind loading can be generated to ASCE 07-10.
A range of the most commonly used foundations designed using STAAD.Foundation are now supported with the STAAD.Pro license. Additionally models can be exported to the specialist offshore application SACS using a new OpenSTAAD macro. This latest version provides enhanced integration opportunities with the other structural applications using the ISM integration module of StrucLink. Detailed explanation of Bentley V8i SELECTseries 4 introduces the latest enhancements in the analysis and design engine.The chapters in the book are punctuated with tips and notes, wherever necessary, to make the concepts clear, thereby enabling the user to create his own innovative projects. In this textbook, the author explains in detail the procedure of creating 2D and 3D models, assigning material constants, assigning cross-section properties, assigning supports, defining different loads, performing analysis, viewing results, and preparing report. The chapters in this textbook are structured in a pedagogical sequence, which makes the learning process very simple and effective for both the novice as well as the advanced users of STAAD.Pro. Exploring Bentley STAAD.Pro V8i (SELECTseries 6) is a comprehensive textbook that has been written to cater to the needs of the students and professionals.
