Modelling of 25 storey building with the specified properties using ETABS

Model a 25 storey building on ETABS with structural properties as specified below. Ground floor or plinth floor level can be taken at a height of 1.5 metres from the base. Each of the successive 25 storeys has a storey height of 3 metres.

Structural Element Sizes 

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

Material Properties 

• 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)

a) Buildings are assumed to be pinned at the base

b) All columns in all storey are of the same size

c) All beams in all storeys are of the same size

d) Building is located on Soil type-II and in Zone-III. Assume other factors if required.

Carry out the following exercises:

• Check if the translational fundamental natural period of vibration in both the x and y direction is approximately: $T_{x1}$= 4.4 second $T_{y1}$= 4.2 second

This check will help confirm if modelling is done correctly. Some deviations from the above values is possible (± 2%). But any major deviation will suggest an error in modelling. 

• Check if the following provision in Table 5 of IS 1893 (part 1) – 2016, on torsional irregularity satisfied:

The natural period corresponding to the torsional mode of oscillation must be less than the two fundamental translational modes of oscillation along each principal plan directions.

• Check if the two provisions of clause 7 in Table 6 (shown below) of IS 1893 (part 1) – 2016, regarding vertical irregularity is satisfied

• Check if provision on inter-storey drift limitations in clause 7.11.1.1 satisfied. Please note that this check is for Serviceability Limit State and hence is for situation when stucture is subjected to unfactored seismic base shear
