Developing of  structural Geometry

• Graphical environment
• Analytical input of data
  • Structure Geometry and coordinate system
  • How to Generate Joints and Members
  • How to assign Structural Boundary Condition
  • Grouping and renumbering of Joint and Member numbers
  • Assigning of Properties and release of a structural members
  • Creating shear walls and flat slabs & raft slabs
  • Assigning of supports
  • Structural geometry check

Loading

• Creating gravity load cases
• Creating horizontal load cases(seismic, wind load)
• Assigning loads to 3D frame model
• Check the loads direction.

Results

• Combination for the assigned load cases
• Study of Bending, shear & torsion for Beam members
• Study of Axial load & Bi axial moments for Column members
• Study of Deformation of nodes and deflection of various structural members.
• Check for Base shear for seismic combination
• Scaling the base shear with static method
• Soft story effect
• Story shear
• Mass center and rigidity center
• Inter story drift.
• Check for overall stability of the structure.

Design

• Assigning design parameters as per I.S 456
• Design of shear wall/ flat slab/ raft slab.
• Check for punching & bending stress in flat slabs & raft slabs
• Study of Design summary results in terms of percentage of reinforcement with respect to the neutral axis of the member
• Study of detail results for an individual members
• Study of Design report for each structural component like (Footing, Column, and Beam) and interpolate with the manual calculations.
• Export  design data to automatic detail using Beam-D, Column D, footing add on module software..
• How to assign the data for various elements like (footings, columns and beams) to the R.C.C detailer.

Preparation of Design Reports

• Details result summary for
  • Geometry
  • Load cases & Combination
  • Design summary for columns, beams.
  • Reactions for footings.

STRAP is a based suite of finite element static and dynamic analysis programs for buildings, bridges and other structures. It also includes modules for the design steel sections (rolled and light-gauge) and reinforced concrete (beams, columns, slabs, walls, footings) in accordance with  Indian, American, European, Canadian and other international codes. The program’s flow is similar to the analysis and design process performed by hand. During the execution of every action the prompt line at the bottom of the screen guides you through. Combine this with the context-sensitive Help and you can understand why many of our users don’t even know where their STRAP manual is.
