Modelling of 25 storey building with the specified properties using ETABS

Aim:- Check the building response for seismic force in both x and y direction by analysis and model the 25 building storey building with specified storey in ETABS

Introduction:- 

Seismic force :- It is the external force applied to the structure as a result earthquake generated agitation

• In this the earthquake occured at once in a 2500 years
• Seismic cannot be determined it's a less uncertainity  
• Seismic force occure at the ground level in all the directions and it has 3degree of freedom they are 2 translational and 1 rotational force
• The base shear starts at the bottom of the buildings when the seismic load occures 

ETABS :- 

• The full form of ETABS is Extended three dimensional analysis of building system
• ETABS software was started by CSI (Computers and Structural ,Inc
• ETABS is a engineering software which is used for multistorey analysis and design
• In this software we can analyse and design the seismic load, wind load, and other loads 
• In this software we are defining and assigning the materials, frame sections, slab sections diaphragm etc.,
• This software give the proper output result to that analysed model 

 

Procedure:- 

 

Step1:-
