DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF CURVED STRUCTURES USING STAAD.PRO
This study involves the structural analysis and design of curved structures, such as roofs and bridges, utilizing STAAD Pro software to evaluate their performance under various load conditions, including wind and gravity loads. This design mainly stimulates from the design on CAD designs. The process entails creating a 3D model, defining geometric properties and structural loads, and conducting ananalysis to determine internal forces like bending moments and shear forces. The resultsthen inform the design of membersto meet strength and serviceability requirements, often comparing curved structures to their straight counterparts and highlighting STAAD Pro efficiency for complex geometries and large-span projects. These projects are mainly used for different types of structures in the construction field. It also proves that these types of designs give different type of view for the buildings and in their architecture point of view.
