Modelling of 25 storey building with the specified properties using ETABS

Aim: To model a 25 storey building using ETABS

software that i used---ETAB

step by step procedure

open ETAB software.

In the interface select the new model.

model initilization palaette will appear

set the display units-metric

set the region -india

steel section data base-indian

steel design code-is 800-2007

concrete design code-is 456-2000

click ok.

next set the no of grids and their spacing.

select custom story data

default 4 story are there.

rename the first story as stilt.

put in order.

after 3rd story right click on the mouse.

click add story.

add 22 story additional.

set the master story as first floor.

from second story to twentyfifth set the similar as 1st story.

go to define tab.

select the material property.

for the concrete-M30.

for the rebars-Fe415.

select the section property.

go t frame section.

click add new propety.

select rectangular concrete.

change the details as

property name-B 300x 400

material-M30

change the dimensions as depth-400

width-300.

go to reinforcement.

set the design type as concrete.

select the longitudinal bar as Fe 415.

select the tie bar as fe 415.

put the cover as 55.

same procedure is repeat for column-C800x800.

this time go to slab section

add new

set the name as slab 150

select the type as member.

Go to load patterns

select the loads and set them as

live load

dead load

wall infill

eq

eqx+

eq-

eqy

eq+

eq-

go to mass source in the define tab.

set the load pattern and their factor like this

full dead load

25% live load

full wall infill load.

go to define tab

select the load combination .

click add default design combo

select the concrete frame design.

enable the convert to user combination.

it time for modelling

after giving the defination.

take quick draw cloumn tool with the cross selection select all automatically at the grids the columns will be placed.

before that you need set the all story and set the property as c 800x 800.

take quick draw beams tool with the cross selection select all automatically on the grids the beam will be placed.

before that you need set the all story and set the property as B300x 400.

take quick draw floor tool with the cross selection select all automatically between the grids the floors will be placed.

before that you need set the similar story and set the property as slab150.

set the plan as base .

go to assign tab

click the joint.

click the restraints

take pinned boundary condition.

select the all slab section(shell) assign the live load 3 kn/m2 to it.

select the all beams assign the super dead load 10 kn/m to it.

do to shell property assign the diaphagram to the slab section.

click run analysis .

before that save the modal file.

go to modal explorer--tables---analysis result---structural output----modal information.

Result: I have done modelling a 25 storey building using ETABS.

fundamental translational natural period of vibration in X-direction --------4.4sec

fundamental translational natural period of vibration in y-direction-----------4.2 sec

as per code provision torsional mode period is less than orthogonal modes period ---------3.312<4.4,4.2

mass participation factor in each principal direction satified in the fundamental mode.(80%>65%).

but the gap between two mode period is less than 10%.

storey drift is less than 0.0004 hi.
