Comparison of design results of a Structure designed using STAAD and ETABS Software

Abstract

STAADPro and ETABS are the present day leading design softwares in the market. Many design companies use these softwares for their project design purposes. So, this project mainly deals with the comparative analysis of the results obtained from the design of a regular and a plan irregular (as per IS 1893) multi storey building structure when designed using STAADPro and ETABS softwares separately. These results will also be compared with manual calculations of a sample beam and column of the same structure designed as per IS 456.
