Analysis and Design of G+5 Residential Building Resting on Single Column Using STAAD.Pro and RCDC Softwares

This study presents a streamlined approach to the structural analysis and design of a single column building, employing two prominent engineering software tools: STAAD Pro for structural analysis and RCDC for the design of reinforced concrete elements. The research focuses on a model that utilizes a central supporting column to maximize space and enhance architectural flexibility, a concept gaining traction in modern urban development for its efficiency and aesthetic potential. Through STAAD Pro, the study conducts a detailed structural analysis to assess the load distribution, displacement, and stress factors affecting the single column, considering dynamic and static loads to simulate real-world conditions. Following the analysis, RCDC is used to design the reinforcement details of the column, ensuring it meets the required strength, durability, and compliance with relevant building codes and standards. The findings illustrate the effectiveness of integrating STAAD Pro and RCDC in optimizing the structural integrity and sustainability of single column buildings, demonstrating their viability in contemporary architectural design and construction. This study contributes valuable insights into the application of advanced software tools in structural engineering, highlighting their role in facilitating innovative building solutions.
