What is in for the company?
Plan the CalculationsSection I Basic Design Criteria and revisionsSection II General Loads/Design LayoutSection III Concrete DesignSection IV Steel DesignAppendix A STAAD input fileAppendix B STAAD Output file::Each Section is prefaced with a checklist.Revisions are made by way of Revision Notes prefacing original sectionsWord Report is an electronic snapshot of the working directory.Show all approved documentation for Project Flowcharts Calculation templates for Word Spreadsheets and Macros
Transfer of Information from- STAADpro/SAP2000/RISA/SFrame files Copying geometry Moving beyond output file for
Connections, braces, details etc- Excel Workbooks Graphics, charts and calculation pad Spreadsheets, revision notes- Visio files Details and simple scale drawings-MathCad files- Drawing files Layouts and Plot plans
Nothing to it but…..EDIT PASTE SPECIAL…….PICTURE
All relevant files should be in a Working directory - STAADpro/RISA/SFrame
Not complete in itself, only the starting point.Standardize loads and load casesUse only relevant information in main reportMove output to AppendixCopy results to Excel for tabulation, sorting, decimal placesAnalysis files not to be logged by JPI.
-Excel WorkbookUse as a notepad for all calculations relevant to SectionUse as a scribble pad - graphics, notes and tablesThin lines, do not use use arrow features
- Word Annotate annotate annotate Use graphics extensivelyUse Bending Moments and shear force diagrams
