Modelling of 25 storey building with the specified properties using ETABS

Q1)

AIM:

Model a 25 storey building on ETABS 2018 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.

Given details :

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
  • Live load on the floor : 3 kN/m2

Buildings are assumed to be pinned at the base
All columns in all storey are of the same size
All beams in all storeys are of the same size

Procedure :

step 1:( open new model )

**open Etabs software > New model

** Use built-in settings

**Display units : Metric SI

** Steel Section : Indian

** Steel : IS 800

** Concrete : IS 456

step 2 : Grids

** In X Direction 5 grids with each spacing of 4000 mm

**In Y direction 4 grids with each spacing of 4000 mm

**Grids > custom grid spacing > edit grid data

Step 3 ( Model Storey )

**custom storey data > edit storey height

Result of step 1 ,2 and 3

Step 4 : ( add the materials )

**Define>Material properties > add new material

**Concrete and rebar material are add

Step 5 ( to add beam property )

**Define > secton properties >frame sections

** Add new property > concrete

step 6 ( add column property )

**Define > secton properties >frame sections

** Add new property > concrete

step 7 ( to add slabs property )

**Define > slab sections > add new slab

step 8 ( to add the columns )

**keep it to all stories

** Quick draw columns

Plan view

Elevation and 3D view

Step 9 ( to add beams )

**keep it to all stories

** Quick draw beams

Step 10 ( to add the slabs )

*Similar stories

** slabs are added from 1st floor ton 25th floor

*Buildings are assumed to be pinned at the base

**base > one story

**Assign > joined > restrains >pinned

LOADINGS :

Add load cases

Define >load patterns

According to IS 1893

the fundamental period of vibration is calculated by above-given formula

h = 76.5m

dx= 16m

X-direction:

Ta = 1.7 seconds

Y-direction :

Ta=1.98 seconds

**To Assign the live load to the building

**Assign > shell load > uniform >3kn/m^2

**Add from 1st floor to the 24 th floor

for the roof the live load is added 1.5 kn/m^2

Brickwall load

**selected beams > assign >frame section > distributed load

** The mass source is added

* live load = 0.25

* Dead load = 1

*brick wall load = 1

**The diaghram is added to the floor

**Run analysis is done to the model

Model Participating mass ratio:

Modal period and frequencies

mode participating mass ratio for 1st 3 nodes

0.733+0.1639+0.0398=0.9367

Therefore it is more than 65 per cent
