STAAD VERIFICATION PROBLEMS
1. Problem 150 from Structural Analysis (Theory of Structures) by BESAVILLA
From book:
From STAAD:
Findings:
Minimal discrepancies can be seen. The answers in the book have been rounded up to
the tenth decimal place.
2. Problem 148 from Structural Analysis (Theory of Structures) by BESAVILLA
From book:
From STAAD:
Findings:
Minimal discrepancies can be seen. The answers in the book have been rounded up to
the tenth decimal place. Still, in context and in diagram, the answers are still the same.
3. Problem 310 from Structural Analysis (Theory of Structures) by BESAVILLA
From book:
From STAAD:
Findings:
Minimal discrepancies can be seen. The answers in the book have been rounded up to
the tenth decimal place. Still, in context and in diagram, the answers are still the same.
4. Problem 313 from Structural Analysis (Theory of Structures) by BESAVILLA
From book:
From STAAD:
Findings:
Minimal discrepancies can be seen.
5. Problem 185 from Structural Analysis (Theory of Structures) by BESAVILLA
From book:
From STAAD:
Findings:
Minimal discrepancies can be seen.
6. Problem found in STRUCTURAL
ANALYSIS 4TH EDITION BY ASLAM
KASIMALI (CHAPTER 13, 532)
From book:
From STAAD:
Findings:
Exact reactions, but different on shear and moment diagrams because the software
specified the bending moment direction.
7. Problem found in STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS 4TH EDITION BY ASLAM
KASIMALI (CHAPTER 12, PAGE 479)
From book:
From STAAD:
Findings:
Exact reactions and exact shear diagram but different in terms of moment, it might
because the problem just considered the left portion of the frame not the whole
structure.
8. Problem found in STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS 4TH EDITION BY ASLAM
KASIMALI (CHAPTER 5, PAGE 191)
From book:
From STAAD:
Findings:
Exact reactions and deflection curve.
9. Problem found in STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS 4TH EDITION BY ASLAM
KASIMALI (CHAPTER 3, PAGE 561)
From book:
From STAAD:
Findings:
Same reactions from the book and from the STAAD.
10. Problem found in STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS 4TH EDITION BY ASLAM
KASIMALI (CHAPTER 7, PAGE 332)
From book:
From STAAD:
Findings:
Manual Answer – 9.6 mm, STAAD – 9.222
Discrepancy occurred because there’s no exact material to use.
