Analysis & Design Procedure

The document outlines the typical steps involved in the analysis and design procedure for a structural engineering project. It includes 1) defining the geometry and supports, 2) specifying material properties, 3) defining member properties, 4) applying loads, 5) combining load cases, 6) analyzing the model using finite element analysis, 7) designing structural elements according to code, and 8) generating reports. It also provides reference dead load values for various construction materials.
