Challenge

Analysis & Design of RCC shear walls in the model using ETABS

1.AIM:

The etabs file for a G+6 building is provided. Run the analysis and design the RCC shear walls (show in the etabs model). The following challenge deals specifically with the shear wall of size 300x1500 at grid A-11 in the structural model.

  • Extract values of longitudinal steel ratio, boundary element length and shear reinforcing ratio from the design results.
  • Provide cross sectional steel arrangement of the shear wall from its base up to terrace, in compliance with provisions of IS 13920 – 2016. AutoCAD application can be used for this exercise. Alternatively, it can be drawn by hand as well.
  • Provide elevation drawings of the reinforcement details of the shear wall from base up to terrace.

PROCEDURE:

open the etabs and draw as follows the given link

go to define tab>section properties select wall sections

by opening the wall properties give the values for the wall and locate the walls where we need to provide as symmetrically all over the building

figure as shown the below

elevation diagram after we provide the walls
