Analysis and Design of a Transfer Point of a Coal Handling Plant

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to be introduced to the design of steel structures using the Indian Standard Code IS 800:2007.This Indian Standard was adopted by Bureau of Indian Standard after the draft finalized by Structural Engineering Structural Sections Sectional Committee has been approved by Civil Engineering Division Council.IS 800 is the basic code for general construction in steel structures. Anyone managing the construction process needs a basic understanding of the engineer’s environment and the basic understanding of how a structure behaves. Constructors must be able to address a number of technical questions at the project site including structural issues that sometimes are not addressed by the design professionals. Since the safety of construction workers as well as the strength and stability of structures during the construction phase is of paramount importance, construction managers need this knowledge. 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. STAAD or (STAAD.Pro) is the structural engineering professional’s choice for steel, concrete, timber, aluminum, and cold-formed steel design of virtually any structure including culverts, petrochemical plants, tunnels, bridges, piles, and much more through its flexible modeling environment, advanced features, and fluent data collaboration. STAAD.Pro allows structural engineers to analyze and design virtually any type of structure through its flexible modeling environment, advanced features and fluent data collaboration. Its wide use in the field of civil engineering makes it of an utter importance to learn. Steel Design is done with limit state method conforming to IS-800:2007. The design results given by Staad Pro are compared with the results obtained manually. Ultimately, the various steel sections for beams and columns are obtained. After designing the building, the post processing mode in Staad Pro can be used to study the bending moment and shear force values with the generated diagrams. We can also check the deflections of the members under the given load. Design and analysis of complicated and high-rise structures need very time taking and cumbersome calculations using conventional manual methods. STAAD.Pro provides us a fast, efficient, easy to use and accurate platform for analysing and designing structures. The design involves application of various loads (Dead, Live, Earthquake, Wind etc.) on the structure and analyzing the structure in the Staad Pro.
