Analysis of shear stress bending moment and deflection of roof design for circular water tank resting on ground with varying outer wall cross section and its comparison using manual and STAAD pro.

The purpose of this research is to compare the results of utilising the manual approach vs STAAD Pro to assess and design a roof for a circular water tank that is lying on the ground. Two groups were compared using a t-test based on an independent sample. Both groups, 1 (the control) and 2 (the experimental) each have 9 samples total (STAAD Pro). Using G power of 50 and alpha of 0.05, we were able to acquire an accurate sample size of 18. Manual and STAAD Pro were used for the analysis and design. Shear stress, bending moment (BM), and deflection were all tested using an independent t-test, and the results indicated no statistically significant differences between the groups (p-values of 0.25, 0.88, and 0.20, respectively; p>0.05). Since p>0.05, it may be inferred that there are no statistically significant differences between the manual and STAAD pro approaches to design. With less work, STAAD Pro produces outcomes that are on par with those of a solution developed in accordance with the requirements of the IS code. Thus, STAAD Pro is an effective tool for modelling, analysing, and designing lightweight buildings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
