Abstract

The structural analysis and design of multi-storey residential buildings have become more complex because cities continue to grow while safety requirements become more demanding and building codes establish stricter requirements.The traditional methods of structural analysis worked through manual execution which required extended periods to complete and suffered from computational errors that primarily affected indeterminate structures and lateral loading conditions. This review paper provides a detailed evaluation of previous works related to the analysis and design of G+4 and similar multi-storey residential buildings that have relied on computer-aided structural analysis software, with a special emphasis on STAAD.Pro. The studies subjected to review have centered on determining the behavior of structure under gravity, wind, and earthquake forces according to Indian Standard codes IS 456:2000, IS 875, and IS 1893. The study evaluates programming parameters through their measurement of bending moments, shear forces, axial forces, storey displacements, and deflections. Software analysis produces accurate results which ensure code compliance and decrease design time while optimizing material usage according to the literature review. The review demonstrates that STAAD.Pro provides capabilities for reinforcement detailing and serviceability checks. The paper demonstrates that STAAD.Pro provides reliable and efficient design capabilities for creating safe and economical and sustainable low- to mid-rise residential buildings.

Keywords: STAAD.Pro, RCC frame, G+4 building, structural analysis, wind load, seismic load, bending moment etc.
