LEARN COMPOSITE STEP BY STEP
STEP NO. 10  Beam Design, Quantities, Cost Estimation and Column Loads
	After entering Data & Checking it thoroughly, Relax, let the software do its Job. The 1st milestone is Analysis. When Program starts, the Menu above is displayed. Under the Beam + Column Design + QTY Heading following options are displayed. ● Beam ● Beam Log File ● Column Loads ● Script ● Column ● Column Log ● Standard Details ● Quantities Now Click on " Beam " Option. Following Graphics is displayed.
	Now select " Example _1 File & Press Open Button. Following Warning is displayed.
	This is a very Important Message. In case a user has edited or added any Joint / Column / Beam or Slab Member after performing analysis then he should re-perform the analysis, else old (in-correct) results will be displayed. However Re-Analysis is not required for Beams Provided: ● Only Beam Type & Section is Changed. ● Project File Parameters are Changed. Re-Analysis is required for Beams if Loads & Floor Geometry is Changed. Click " Yes " if you have not revised any member after analysis or click " No " if you are not sure. If " Yes " is clicked then following message will be displayed.
	Now Click the " Log File " Button. Following Design Results (Part) is displayed. The LOG file will display Beam results (Safe / Unsafe) & various parameters on which Beam is evaluated. User should study the each parameter in order to redesign the beam for safety or for economy / Optimization.   The Composite Beam Design is carried out as per following Codes, Construction Stage: As per IS 800 : 2007. Composite Stage: (a) Section Classification and BM as per Euro 4. (b) SF, Axial Load, Deflection, Slenderness, Bolt, Weld Design as per IS 800 : 2007.   Profile Deck design by Deck manufacturer.
	Note that Step by Step design is given for Construction & Composite stage. If Beam is Unsafe, all the parameters will be displayed indicating why beam is unsafe. A designer shall study & correct the various parameters such as Concrete Grade/ Concrete thickness, Profile Depth / Thickness and Beam Size.
	Now Click " Quantity " Option. Following Graphics is displayed.
	Now Double Click " Floor Beams + Slabs " Option. Following Graphics is displayed. (Quantities and Cost of Column Project and Total Project will be discussed in later Steps).
	Now Double Click " Quantity, Cost Summary " Option. Following Graphics is displayed.
DISPLAYING QUANTITIES AND COST SUMMARY
	The above display gives cost summary as per the Rates Put-In during creation of Project File. Now Double Click " Structural Steel Summary " Option. Following Graphics is displayed.
	Note that the above steel weight does not include end connections & member splice. We have taken C/C distance between columns as member length, which may offset the connection + splice weight. Now Double Click " Column Loads " Option from the Main Menu. Following Graphics is displayed.
UN-FACTORED COLUMN LOADS PART DISPLAY
	The above Column Loads Graphics is self explanatory. Self Weight of Column is not included. When " OK " button is clicked following vital Statistical Check is displayed. The Difference should not exceed say 10 %.  The major difference should calls for closer look at the Data-Input.
	When " OK " button is clicked, following Important Message is displayed.
	The above message describes how any number of Load Cases can be Run & Manipulated once the File is Exported to Excel Spread Sheet. Note the File Name Carefully. Click " OK " button. Now we have come to the end of Step # 10. Let us proceed to Step No. 11.
STEP NO. 10 IS OVER.
