A steel skywalk structure is analyzed and designedusing conventional and finite element approach. Analysis based onstiffness method has been carried out using analysis and design software STAAD.Pro-05 and the results so obtained are verified by manualcalculations. The skywalk design is as per the clauses and normsspecified by IS 800-1982 . Finite element model of the same is formulatedand analyzed using ANSYS-10 and the results are compared withstiffness analysis and experimental testing. A prototype of skywalkstructure is prepared to a scale of 1:10 using mild steel. The experimentalmodel is...
