In order to compete in the ever-growing competent market, it is very important for a structural engineer to save time. As a sequel to this an attempt is made to analyze and design a multistoried building by using a software package staad pro. For analyzing a multi storied building one has to consider all the possible loadings and see that the structure is safe against all possible loading conditions. There are several methods for analysis of different frames like kani’s method, cantilever method, portal method, and Matrix method. The present project deals with the design & analysis of a multi storied residential building of G+14 consisting of 2 apartments in each floor. The dead load &live loads are applied and the design for beams, columns, footing is obtained STAAD Pro with its new features surpassed its predecessors and compotators with its data sharing capabilities with other major software like AutoCAD. We conclude that staad pro is a very powerful tool which can save much time and is very accurate in Designs. Thus, it is concluded that staad pro package is suitable for the designof a multistoried building.

The shear resistant with SWR (steel wire rope) external prestressing is a kind of new type of reinforcement technique. The advantages of the method are ideal reinforcement effect, durability, and convenient construction. So the method has been paid attention by more and more scientists and technical workers. Through the experiment of 1 basic beam and 3 strengthened beams which are in different dead load levels, the influence of damage degree of original beams and the dead load level of strengthened beams are analyzed. The reduction coefficient values of shear capacity under different dead load level are researched. The research is shown that: with the dead load level increasing, the improve degree of shear capacity of strengthened concrete beams is smaller. The mathematical model is established, which is about dead load level and reduction coefficient of shear capacity of strengthened concrete beams. The result is to take 0.75 as the reduction coefficient of shear capacity. The value is reasonable in calculating the shear bearing capacity of strengthened beams under dead load.

Moment and shear load distribution are important in bridge design. Most existing studies have focused on the distribution of girders under vehicle loading, neglecting the dead load distribution between the webs of multicell box-girders. Through the “Sum of Local Internal Forces” function, the shear force of each web in the multicell box-girder 3D finite element model was extracted and analysed using the dead load shear force distribution factor. The research parameters include the slope of the web, support condition, and cell number with respect to the dead load shear force distribution factor. The results indicate that the dead load shear distribution in the webs of multicell box-girders is uneven. The outermost inclined web bears a shear force greater than the average shear force, which must be considered in bridge design.

Abstract Hardness determinations are frequently required on very soft rubbers in the range of 5 to 30 (Shore). It is usual to make such measurements in the shop with a pocket-type tester; however this is not entirely satisfactory for laboratory work where a more precise reading is usually required, calling for a hardness tester of the dead-load type. Such a tester, moreover, is useful to keep a check on the accuracy of pocket testers. The British Standard dead-load hardness tester is not calibrated below 30° BS, but a method of extending the range downwards has been proposed, whereby the standard indentor of this tester is replaced by one of 0.25 inch diam.; unfortunately this method has the disadvantage of involving more than one revolution of the dial gauge needle, and a directly calibrated scale would be out of the question. There is, however, an alternative method in use at BRPRA, which gives hardness readings down to 4° in one revolution; and which replaces the standard added load of 535 grams by one of 70 grams. At present, a calibration curve is provided to convert from scale reading to hardness degrees, but it is intended to add a second scale in due course.

The dynamic characteristics of a rotating cantilever Timoshenko beam under dead load are investigated in this paper. Considering the predeformation caused by dead load and centrifugal force, governing equation of rotating cantilever Timoshenko beam is derived based on Hamilton’s principle, and the influence of the load on natural vibration is revealed. A suit of modal experimental apparatus for cantilever beam is designed and used to test the natural frequencies under the dead load, and the natural frequencies under rotation condition are calculated with a commercial finite element code. Both the experimental result and numerical result are utilized to compare with the present theoretical result, and the results obtained by present modeling method show a good agreement with those obtained from the experiment and finite element method. It is found that the natural frequencies of cantilever beam increase with both the dead load and the rotating speed.

Post-tensioning is a technique for reinforcing concrete slabs with high-strength tendons. Tendons retain much more concrete in compression. Posttension floors are capable of bearing almost every dead load due to their tensioned tendons, which aid to perform live loads acts on slabs & make them stronger than traditional slabs. For commercial and residential floors, PT slabs are suggested for comparatively limited depths, less heavy weights and free floor elevation. The research on the R.C.C and PT slab has been reviewed, with an integrative impact with the lateral load. The primary aim of this, is to review the reaction and behavioural characteristics of the post-tension flat plate during an earthquake and to contrast it with the traditional slab. For this purpose, the past papers related to the PT slab were studied and a successful conclusion has been made.

Foundation is the lower structure of the building located below the ground that has the function to bear the load of the building. The building has been standing for ± 5 years and the slope of the building is ± 1-20. The authors analyzed soil bearing capacity, settlement and the slope of the building and the possibility of repairing the building for reuse. In 1 pile cap there are 4 bore piles with a depth of 6m-12m, because the pile cap data is not obtained then the size and thickness is assumed and the soil data used is secondary data without lab data derived from soil data in locations adjacent to the building site that is ±100m from the building site. After the analysis, soil bearing capacity is not strong to bear the dead load of the building when using a foundation with a depth of 6m-12m, there is a possibility that the foundation used is not suitable and there is a reduction in the load of the building due to the presence of other buildings that are adjacent to the building in the analysis resulting in a considerable decrease and slope of the building.Fondasi adalah struktur bagian bawah bangunan yang terletak di bawah permukaan tanah yang mempunyai fungsi memikul beban bangunan. Bangunan ini sudah berdiri selama ± 5 tahun dan  kemiringan bangunan sebesar ± 1-20. Penulis menganalisis daya dukung tanah, penurunan tanah dan kemiringan bangunan dan kemungkinan memperbaiki bangunan agar dapat digunakan kembali. Pada 1 pile cap terdapat 4 buah bore pile dengan kedalaman 6m–12m, karena data pile cap  tidak diperoleh maka ukuran dan ketebalannya diasumsikan dan data tanah yang digunakan adalah data sekunder tanpa data lab yang berasal dari data tanah di lokasi berdekatan dengan lokasi bangunan yang berjarak ±100m dari lokasi bangunan. Setelah di analisis, daya dukung tanah tidak kuat untuk menahan beban mati bangunan bila menggunakan fondasi dengan kedalaman 6m–12m dan ada kemungkinan fondasi yang digunakan tidak sesuai dan terjadi reduksi beban bangunan karena adanya bangunan lain yang berdempetan dengan bangunan yang di analisis sehingga mengakibatkan penurunan dan kemiringan bangunan yang cukup besar.

This paper summarizes new application of CFS in bridge constructions where a seven meters long pedestrian bridge was constructed. The bridge has 1.2m width, 0.8m depth, and is composed of CFS Warren truss and bondek floor systems. Natural frequency of the bridge considering only dead load application was found as 8.54 Hz and decreased to 7.08 Hz when the live load was included. Under static load test, the application of dead load only and both dead and live loads yielded a maximum deflection of 3.53 and 8.1 mm, respectively. Normal walking and running pedestrian loads were carried out created a maximum acceleration equaled to 0.11g. Lastly, sinusoidal waves application facilitated through a three-phase induction motor having self-weight of 24.86 kgf at frequency equal to 8.5 Hz was performed for one hour resulting no decrease of the natural frequency, thus the bridge can be assumed to experience no noticeable stiffness degradation.

In the condition of the same span, to change the continuous curved bridge's curvature radius and under the dead load and moving load to compare how the internal force changes in different curvature radius. The finite element model is established to simulate the actual structure by Midas Civil. Results in a continuous curved bridge which main span of less than 60m, under the dead load, bending moment (-y) is unlikely to change, reinforced by a straight bridge can meet the requirements; under the moving loads, the curvature radius of the bending moment (-y) has little influence, should focus on increase in torque and bending moment (-z).

The paper presents results of numerical simulations of the stress distribution and deformations within of foundations of huge monument of Christ The King erected in Świebodzin (Poland) in 2010. It is 3 meters taller than the better known statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, standing at 30.1 meters tall without its pedestal. Foundations were built as a system of reinforced concrete columns and slabs which can be classified as a spatial column-slab system. Actual mechanical parameters of the substrate and of the artificial mound made of field stones, sand, gravel and clay were adopted in calculations. The numerical simulations of structural members of foundation and determination of the stress distribution are presented in the article. Monument itself was not included into the model. Instead of it the rigid cantilever was introduced to which resultant forces were applied. Three different stages were distinguished: the initial state after foundation and mound accomplishment, the initial state plus the dead load and the initial state plus the dead load and the wind load. It was assumed that the wind load was taken into account in a quasi-static formulation by applying the equivalent horizontal force and the torque. Stresses and displacements for these three stages were determined by Finite Element Method using Simulia ABAQUS system. It was disclosed what was a contribution of particular parts of foundations in sustaining loads in considered load cases. The state of exertion of structural members of foundations and the soil itself was assessed. It was showed that the column-slab foundations and soils of the mound play important role in taking loads of the statue, spreading them and safe transferring to the undisturbed level of natural soils. According to the numerical simulations results the columns of foundation take as much as 64% of the vertical load (in the most unfavourable load conditions). At the same time soils of the mound take through the side surface of piles about 20 % of the vertical load.

Effects of stiffness, carrying efficiency and fatigue of the end anchor cable on the mechanical behavior of long span cable-stayed bridge, were discussed respectively. Firstly, the concept of the effective stiffness and the stress ratio were introduced to discuss the effects of the dead load stress level and the stress ratio on the effective stiffness of the end anchor cable. Secondly, the effect of the cable material on the vertical carrying efficiency of the structure was analyzed. Finally, the main influential factors on the fatigue performance of the end anchor cable were analyzed in detail. It is shown that improving the dead load stress level and keeping the low stress ratio would increase the effective stiffness of the end anchor cable. The section of the end anchor cable effects on stiffness of the structure under high stress level. It can be drawn that as a novel material, The CFRP end anchor cable will increase the load carrying level of the long span cable-stayed bridges. It can also be concluded that the length of side span and main span, the height of pylon, the area of the cable section and the live load collection degree are all the main effective factors to the stress amplitude of the end anchor cable. It is suggested that in the practical design of large span cable-stayed bridge, all the effective factors together with the global state of the structure should be taken into account comprehensively.
