Steel Structure Optimization: Part 6B - Optimization using Tapered member-An Overview || Taper Depth

[@1989ENgVic]

why Physical member Design not yet implemented in all Codes only AS? other software like Prostructures etc have such.

[@josephlucas4115]

May you please prepare session of design of steel structure with haunch in Staad pro as we know haunches is not directly available in Staad but there is a way which that can be taken into account and design them accordingly

[@sadanandaswamy6918]

Very nicely presented sir. Your contents are really helpful... Thanks for all your efforts.

[@surojit_ghosh]

Thanks for the feedback Sadananda. Nice to hear that you enjoyed this video.

@@surojit_ghosh sir is it possible to have a detailed video on modelling a peb in physical modeler with all the design parameters and loadings

[@player30190]

Very great explanation..... plz keep making videos on various steel structures by using indian and international codal practices also.....👍

[@surojit_ghosh]

Thanks for your suggestion, Darshan. I will try to cover IS, AISC and Euro code in my upcoming videos.

Hello surojit, Can you explain the bending moment and shear force match with staad results.. it will be great helpful to all. Tnqq

[@dextergellizeau9330]

Hello Surojit, Thanks for the speedy reply. The excel macro sheet I am referring to is for the Design/Optimization of Tapered Member.

[@surojit_ghosh]

I have developed this only for IS800:2007 code at this moment. Several OpenSTAAD functions which are required for tapered optimization are not available and I have to develop the entire Indian design code engine by myself to make this work. Unless those functions are implemented, I am not in a position to implement tapered optimization for other design codes, hence this will not be published soon.

Hello Sir, Very informative video. How can i get acess to the excel sheet you are using in the video

[@shehzadattarwala9936]

Hello Surojit Sir, your work is fabulous in the field of automation. Can we prepare same MTO for RCC as well?

[@surojit_ghosh]

This template can be used to extract concrete information (volume, weight). But right now reinforcement information cannot be extracted using this. As there is no direct function available to get the reinforcement information for any concrete member, it is a bit tricky to extract the bar information. Also RCDC can generate a very extensive BOM for concrete member. That's why I have not included this facility in the MTO template. I will include concrete member in future.

please explain how to optimize taper member itself

[@mainuddinfaisal4532]

I really grateful to you Sir.

Hello Sir, Your videos are really helpful. Is the excel macro sheet for the Design/Optimization of Tapered Member available for download. pls upload it if its finished. Thank you

[@prawingajbhiye8816]

thank you so Sir much for the explanation

Hello Surojit, how soon the excel spread sheet macro will be available for download.

Which excel sheet are you referring to?

[@AbhishekVerma-yx2dv]

Greetings of the day sir Why you have considered wid and seismic cofficient as 0.6...... please explain me

[@surojit_ghosh]

Are you referring to the wind and seismic load combination factor 0.6? Check table 4 of IS800:2007 code, you can notice for limit state of strength, the combination factor is mentioned as 0.6 (DL+LL+CL+WL/EL).

How to design castaletted beam? What are the checks we should do?

[@surojit_ghosh]

Not sure which design code you are referring to. For Indian design code, there is no specific guideline for castellated member design. If you want to know about the design rules and different checks, go though DG31 code. Also you can check part 6A of this optimization series for more details.

[@indramlimbu6886]

sir, please make a video on connection designs especially that of bracings.

[@surojit_ghosh]

You know, it is really very easy to design any connection including horizontal and vertical bracing connection directly using the STAAD model data using integrated connection design module. If you assign a connection tag to any member, then the end connection is designed automatically once the analysis is complete, else you need to manually assign the connection template and design. I have some plans to create a new video series on connection design. Keep watching.

[@indramlimbu6886]

@@surojit_ghosh sir...I've been trying to design sag rod bracings both in RAM and idea statica...but it's not working. Sir, please make one dedicated video..especially on rod bracing (sag rod). It would be very helpful for freshers likes me...please sir.

[@rajashekharsb9813]

sir , please tell us how to optimize tapered members please

[@surojit_ghosh]

There is no in-built option available in STAAD to optimize any taper member. We can manually optimize it, by guessing the dimensions, but it will take more time and will not be accurate. We can guess a range of section depth(which I have discussed in this video) and then go for trial and error. But the most efficient way to optimize a section is by using any custom macro. Optimization is a multi-step approach where depending on the selected section, section forces are modified and that further changes the section dimension. So it is always better to take the help of any software or any custom macro.

Would you be willing to share this Excel design sheet..?? It'll be highly appreciated By the way nice content. Helps me a lot as a structure designer. Love from Pakistan
