Abstract
This extension block of the building is designed as per the requirement of an educational building. The structural model of the building is developed through STAAD.Pro software. The development of the model is done by providing the building geometry, structural elements, materials and loadings (dead and live). Analysis of the building provides the values for support reactions, bending moment, shear force, and displacement of the structural elements. Analysis results can be used to design the structural elements like beams, columns, slabs and foundation.
Keywords: G+4 Building, School Extension Block, STAAD.Pro, Structural Analysis, Structural Design, Dead Load, Live Load, Bending Moment, Shear Force.
