Design of PipeRack Structure (PR-I) Part-I

DESIGN OF STEEL INDUSTRIAL PIPE RACK STRUCTURE (PR-I) GAS & OIL INDUSTRY

USING BENTLEY STAAD PRO, RAM CONNECTION, AND MIDAS DESIGN + IN ACCORDANCE WITH AISC & ACI STANDARDS

STAAD Pro CONNECT Edition

Bentley STAAD Pro is the most popular structural engineering software product for 3D

model generation, analysis and multi-material design. It has as intuitive, user-friendly

graphical user interface, visualization tools, powerful analysis and design facilities and

seamless integration to several other modeling and design software products. The software

is fully compatible with all Windows operating systems.

For static or dynamic analysis of buildings, bridges, containment structures, embedded

structures (tunnels and culverts), pipe racks, steel, concrete, aluminum or timber buildings,

transmission towers, stadiums or any other simple or complex structure, STAAD Pro has

been the choice of design professionals around the world for their specific analysis needs.

RAM Connection CONNECT Edition

RAM Connection is Bentley’s tool for steel connection design. It can be used as stand-alone

or fully integrated with STAAD Pro, RAM Structural System, and RAM Elements. It has

powerful connection check or design option in just a matter of seconds.

It is the first fully integrated steel connection design and optimization tool in the industry. It

has the most widely covered connection database globally that supports most common global

design codes such as the AISC (ASD and LRFD), Eurocode, British Standards and Indian

Standards. A user can easily design, check, and optimize shear, moment, gusset, splice,

bracket, and base plate connections.

Midas Design+

MIDAS Design+ is a practical and efficient design tool used for designing structural frame

members such as beams, columns, and shear walls in compliance with various international

design codes. In this training, we will focus specifically on the use of MIDAS Design+ for

designing pedestal members, which are commonly used as base supports in piperack

structures. The design process will follow the ACI (American Concrete Institute) code,

ensuring that all calculations and checks meet industry standards
