Challenge

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:-

  • Open the ETABS software by double clicking on it
  • Then click on the new model option which is at left side of the screen
