Challenge

Modelling of 25 storey building with the specified properties using ETABS

ANSWERS

  1. AIM & INTRODUCTION:
  • To Know modelling of a high rise building in ETABS software.
  • To verify the seismic code requirements as per IS Code 1893 from ETAB analysis.

I am modelling a 25-storey building on ETABS with structural properties as Structural element of Sizes :

  • Beams: 300 × 400 mm
  • Columns: 800 × 800 mm
  • Slab: 150 mm thick

Material Property as

  • Grade of Concrete: M30
  • Grade of Steel Reinforcement Bars : Fe 415

& Loading

  • Dead Load on beams from infill wall : 10 kN/m (Let us assume the same for roof floor in view of parapet)
  • Live load on floor: 3 kN/m2 (Let us assume the same for roof floor)

  1. PROCEDURE

  • Modelling by grid method.
  • Define
  • Materials (Concrete-M30,Rebar-Fe415) and sections (Beam, Column & Slab).
  • Add/draw column, beam and slab in Model.
  • Assign load in beams, slabs.
  • Add load patterns.
  • Add load weightage in mass source.
  • Do load combinations.
  • Assign base (foundation) as pin joint.
  • Check model for frame joints & connections.
  • Run Analysis.

Exercise result

Translational fundamental natural period of vibration

X-direction

4.4

4.416

Y-direction

4.2

4.222

Torsional irregularity

Table 5 of IS 1893 (part 1) – 2016

Torsional mode time period should be lesser than X and Y direction time periods.

Yes, less than 4.416 & 4.222

Vertical irregularity

Table 6 of IS 1893 (part 1) – 2016,

First three modes together should contribute at least 65% in mass participation factor in each principal direction.

Obtained as shown in below Table 2

Fundamental lateral natural periods in two directions are away from each other by at least 10%.

Not obtained.

Ie 4.416 x 0.90

= 3.97,

but it is 4.222 as shown in Table – 1.

Inter-storey Drift

Limitations in clause 7.11.1.1 of IS 1893 (part 1) – 2016,

Storey drift shall not exceed 0.004 times the storey, height for base shear with no load factors.

Yes
