  • Abstract:
  • This paper provides a detailed investigation of steel frame structures through the application of the Direct Analysis Method (DAM), using STAAD Pro software. DAM has become a favoured approach in modern structural engineering due to its ability to incorporate factors such as geometric imperfections, member flexibility, and second-order effects directly into the analysis—elements that are often neglected in traditional methods. In this study, DAM is employed to simulate and evaluate how steel frames respond under various standard loads including dead, live, and lateral forces. The research aims to determine internal forces, stresses, and deflections within the frame, while also assessing the structure’s overall stability and safety. The findings highlight the potential of DAM to enhance accuracy and efficiency in steel design practices.
