Abstract:
Hydroelectric power plant is a large structure comprises heavy structural mechanics itself. The whole plant is analysed as Superstructure and Substructure. In this paper, preliminary dimensions of a high head and capacity power plant are computed as per IS 12800, and from the computed dimensions structural modelling and design of super structure is carried out in Staad.Pro as per IS 4247(Part I). An attempt is made to make calculations of dimensioning as per the codal provisions and design of components of super structure using the software. Loadings and combinations are given as per the referenced IS codes including Earthquake Static and Earth loads (for underground structures). The objective of the paper is to demonstrate procedure of fixing dimensions and design of structure in Staad.Pro.
