INTRODUCTION

There are a variety of software programs which are available for the different
specialized disciplines of civil engineering. Most civil engineers practice in
specialized subsets of civil engineering, such as geotechnical engineering,
structural engineering, transportation engineering, hydraulic engineering
,environmental engineering, project and construction management and
land surveying.

Need of software's IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

The trend to implement software programs into the civil engineering industry
began as educational concerns. Today, these concerns and trends are
centered around the continuing education unit which have become required as
part of maintaining the professional license. As a result of the expanding use
and demand for these software programs, there was less necessity for
occupations such as draftsman, because the engineer began to prepare and
input the design parameters into the program, thus eliminating the need for
manual drafting

What are civil engineering softwares ?

Civil engineering softwares are the softwares which helps civil
engineers to plan, Implement, and execute any kind of work or
project without facing any problem and if any then to eliminate
those problems.

TYPES OF CIVIL ENGINEERING SOFTWARES

1. System software
2. Application softwares

Smartphone apps for civil engineering

As technology is evolving and by taking advantage of
smartphone technology, developers have been able to
create innovative mobile apps that do everything from
simple calculations to 3-D designs and architectural
renderings. Although construction management
mobile apps are available as far as technology and
features are concerned, they all serve the same
general purpose, which is to serve the needs of
professionals working in the construction industry.

ANALYSIS OF G + 21 STEEL BUILDING FRAME

USING STAAD.Pro
Physical parameters of building
Length = 4 bays @ 5.0m = 20.0m
Width = 3 bays @ 5 m =15.0m
Height = 4m + 21 storeys @ 3.3m = 73.3m
(1.0m parapet being non- structural for seismic
purposes, is not considered of building frame height)
Live load on the floors is 2kN/m2
Live load on the roof is 0.75kN/m2

ANALYSIS OF G + 21 STEEL BUILDING FRAME

USING STAAD.Pro
Supports
The base supports of the structure were
assigned as fixed. The supports were
generated using the STAAD.Pro support
generator.
Loading
The loadings were calculated partially
manually and rest was generated using
STAAD.Pro load generator.
