Analyzing and Designing Steel Structures for Stability in STAAD.Pro (Part 2)

The emergence of experimental data on material testing in laboratories every other day has resulted in a clearer understanding on the behavior of various engineering materials under sustained and accidental loads and thus leading to a more non-conservative use of them in the engineering structures. This has inadvertently resulted in refining the design codes with a lot of stress in the stability analysis of the structures. This STAAD.Pro CoNNECT Edition webinar focuses on discussing the various global design code provisions on Stability Analysis and how to utilize the advanced analysis and design capabilities in STAAD.Pro to achieve the same.

In Part 2 of this 2-part series, you will learn:
- The difference between ELM and Direct analysis
- Implementation of the Direct analysis method in STAAD.Pro and how to define the same.
- Philosophy of Stability analysis of steel structures in light of Euro code.
