PLANNING, MODELLING AND ANALYSIS OF G+3 RESIDENTIAL BUILDING USING REVIT ARCHITECTURE AND STAAD PRO

The construction industry increasingly relies on advanced software tools for accurate planning, structural analysis, and efficient project execution. This project focuses on the planning, structural analysis, design, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) of a G+3 residential building using modern engineering software tools such as STAAD Pro and Autodesk Revit. The primary objective of the project is to develop a safe, economical, and structurally stable residential building through proper design and analysis procedures. Initially, the architectural planning of the building was carried out considering functional space requirements, building regulations, and structural feasibility. The structural model of the building was then created in STAAD Pro, where various loads such as dead load, live load, and other relevant loads were applied according to standard design codes. Structural analysis was performed to determine the forces, bending moments, and deflections in different structural members including beams, columns, and slabs. Based on the analysis results, the structural elements were designed to ensure safety, stability, and durability. Following the structural design phase, the building was modeled in Autodesk Revit to develop a comprehensive BIM model. Revit was used to create detailed architectural and structural components, enabling better visualization, coordination, and documentation of the project. The BIM model also helped in improving design accuracy, reducing errors, and enhancing project understanding through 3D visualization. The project demonstrates the effective integration of structural analysis and BIM technology in modern construction practices. The use of STAAD Pro ensures precise structural evaluation, while Autodesk Revit provides efficient modeling and visualization capabilities. The overall study highlights the importance of digital tools in improving the efficiency, accuracy, and quality of residential building design.
