ABSTRACT 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 multi- storey 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 Kane’s method, Cantilever method, Portal method, Matrix method. The present project deals with the analysis of a multistoried residential building of G+12 consisting of 3 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, and MS Excel .We conclude that STAAD. Prois 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 design of a multistoried building.
