Abstract
The structural analysis and design of multi-story 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 providesa detailed evaluation of previous works related to the analysis and design of G+4 and similar multi- story 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, story 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: Bending moment, etc., g+4 building, RCC frame, seismic load, STAAD.Pro, structural analysis, wind load
