[NEW] STAAD Pro 2024 Beginner's Guide with Excel Integration

Ultimate Beginner's Guide: 4-Storey Building with Hipped Truss Design - Includes RCDC, STAAD Foundation Advanced & Excel
What you'll learn
Build and manage a complete 4-storey STAAD Pro structural model with a hipped roof from scratch.
Use shortcuts and step-by-step workflows to speed up modeling and avoid common mistakes.
Design and optimize slabs, beams, columns, trusses, purlins, and sag rods for efficiency and material savings.
Assign and manage loads (dead, live, wind) and create load combinations using both STAAD interface and command files.
Perform modeling management for truss system, multiple floors, including beams, slabs, and columns
Integrate RCDC for detailed design of slabs, beams, and columns, including drift and irregularity checks
Design and analyze foundations (ISOLATED, COMBINED, MAT FOOTING) with STAAD Foundation Advanced.
Modify rebar sizes, lateral ties, and stirrups for columns and beams to meet design requirements and improve constructability.
Soil interaction analysis
Merge the superstructure and truss system into one complete project file
Requirements
No prior experience with STAAD Pro is required - the course is beginner-friendly and step-by-step.
A basic understanding of structural engineering concepts (like beams, columns, loads) is helpful but not mandatory.
STAAD Pro 2024 (or similar version) installed on your computer.
RCDC and STAAD Foundation Advanced for the reinforced concrete and foundation design parts.
Microsoft Excel installed (for integration and calculations)
Willingness to learn and practice by following along with the guided examples.
Description
Are you looking to master STAAD Pro 2024 with a complete, step-by-step workflow?This course is designed for beginners, students, and professionals who want to learn shortcut-driven techniques to design real-world structures efficiently, from trusses and purlins to superstructures and foundations.Unlike quick tutorials, this masterclass takes you through the entire process of designing a 4-storey building with a hipped roof - covering analysis, modeling, optimization, detailing, and foundations. You'll also learn how to integrate your designs with RCDC, STAAD Foundation Advanced, and Excel for professional-level outputs.What makes this course different?Shortcut-driven methods that save time while keeping precision.Covers both analysis and detailing, including rebar sizing, stirrups, and ties for beams and columns.A project-based approach - from trusses and purlins (roof system) to superstructure modeling and substructure design (isolated, combined, and mat foundations).Hands-on lessons in merging the truss system with the superstructure into one final model.Clear, structured lessons designed for all levels of learners.Key topics you'll cover:Software setup, space shortcuts, and modeling fundamentalsTruss, purlin, and sag rod design with load applicationsSuperstructure modeling (2 Floor, 3 Floor, 4 Floor, and Roof) with property assignmentLoad cases: dead load, live load, wind load, and combinationsRCDC workflow for slabs, beams, and columns - including rebar adjustmentsBeam offsets, releases, and drift checksFoundation design with STAAD Foundation Advanced: isolated, combined, mat, and soil interactionFinal project: creating one complete, integrated structural modelBy the end of this course, you'll be able to deliver efficient, economical, and professional structural designs using STAAD Pro 2024 - skills you can directly apply in school projects, internships, and professional practice.Who this course is for:Civil engineering students who want a solid foundation in STAAD ProBeginner engineers with no prior STAAD Pro experienceProfessionals seeking faster, shortcut-based workflowsAnyone aiming to design safe, practical, and cost-effective structuresEnroll today and learn how to take your structural design skills from concept to complete model with STAAD Pro 2024.
