Download the given model of ETABS. Running the analysis. Once analysis is completed, running the Concrete Frame Design.  Area of longitudinal reinforcement is obtained from ETABS as below for column 3A and 3B:     Area of shear reinforcement is obtained from ETABS as below for column 3A and 3B:    …

Step 1: Download the given model of ETABS. Running the analysis. Once analysis is completed, running the Concrete Frame Design     Step 2: The details of the Longitudinal reinforcement for the 1st floor is as below: Here the area of longitudinal reinforcement is in mm^2.   The details of the Shear reinforcement…

The project is executed in two phases. In the first phase, all the building types are modeled with varying cross sections of the columns, elevation, imposed load. In the second phase, a comparative analysis of the structural results obtained in the first half for effect of Stiffness, Mass, Building height, column orientation,…

Answer Open Etabs and select new model from the File menu Input the following settings:    Selecting the grid parameters as below:   Selecting the storey parameters as below: From base storey to Storey 11   From storey 12 to Storey 25    Defining material properties:  1. Concrete…

Answer to Question No. 1:         Answer to Question No. 2:   Framing plan: Incomplete lateral load transfer both in X and Y direction As shown (with annular rings) in the above figure, the load transfer is not direct from secondary beam to column. Such a connection (secondary beam is supported…

Q No.1:   Comments on the framing plan w.r.t Symmetry: Plan is symmettical (exact mirror image) along X axis. Plan is also symmettical (exact mirror image) along Y axis. From the plan it is observed that highest no. of columns in a row is more in X direction (7 Nos) than in Y direction (6 Nos).   Comments on…

Answers for the week-3 challenge are given below:            

Answer for 1.a) Mode of Failure: Concrete crushed and the reinforcement is exposed. Its form of Flexure Failure. Flexural failure has occured due to reversal of Stresses during the earthquake. At support, due to stress reversal top of the beam experiences compression and bottom of the beam experiences Tension. Top compression…

Question No.1. Differences between Static analysis and Dynamic analysis are as below: Static Analysis 1. Load do not varies with time and effect of time on the application of load is neglected as the load is applied slowly such slow that it is not comparable with natural vibration freequency of the structure. 2. Motion…
