Challenge

Modelling of 25 storey building with the specified properties using ETABS

Aim - Model a 25 story building in ETABS by the given properties.

Procedure

Open a new model in etabs

Give units as metric SI

Steel as indian

Design code as IS 800 : 2002

Concrete design IS 456 : 2000

Then give grids and story data

Give spacing in X and Y direction for the grids

Then gove story data

From base to plinth give height as 1.5m and remaining all floors as 3m

Give story 1 as master story

Then give remaining all as similar to 1st story

Give material properties

In the define tab go to material properties

Add new material India concrete and grade as M30

Again add new material

Material type as rebar , indian standard and grade as FE415

Give beams,coloumns and slab

In the define tab select sectional properties and framed sections for beam and coloumns

Add new propert and rectangular concrete

Give property name as B300x400

Give depth as 400 and width as 300 as given

In the same process add new propert as coloumn and name it as C800x800

Give depth as 800 and width as 800

For slab

In the define tab select sectional properties and select salb sections

Add a new property

Then rename as S150 and give modelling type as membrane and give thickness as 150 and OK

Then start modelling

Go to any plan view and select all stories

Select quick draw coloumns and select C800x800 and draw at the grid points

Then select quick draw beams and select B300x400

Then draw beams at the grid lines

You can also replicate the beams and coloumns by giving offset and no of times

Add slab

First select similar stories

Go to any plan view and select quick draw floors and select S150

Select the space where slab to be laid

Then assign the loads

In the define tab select load patterns

Select dead load with multiple of 1

Add live load of multiple 0

Wall load as super dead load and multilpe 0

Eq in X directiion of seismic load and code of IS 1893 2016

Eq in Y directiion of seismic load and code of IS 1893 2016

Then select Eqx and modify and select zone as 2 and I factof as .16 same for Eqy

Then OK

Assign live loads

Select all the slabs

Then assign shell loads and uniform loads and as live and give value of 3KN/M

Then assign wall loads

Select all beams

Then assign and frame loads

Then UDl and give value as 10

Mass source

For earthquake load we have to assign mass source

Define and mass source

Select specefied load pattern and Ok

Now generate load combinations

Define tab and load combinations and select default design combinations

Then select concrete frame design and edit table and OK

Diaphragm

Select all the floors

In the assign tab and shell tool and select diaphragm

You can see the eccentricity of the structure which is useful in lateral loading

We can check the model cases in define

Then analyse the structure by clicking run analysis key

Go to tables in the left side

Analysis result and structural output and model oinfo

Vibration in X and Y direction

Model periods and dispaly tables

Model 1 - 4.01

Model 2 - 3.08

Which is approximately equal

Torsional deviations

Torsional mode time period is less than X and Y direction time period

X - 80%

Y - 81% (yes)

Fundamental natural periods are almsot equal not less than 10% (NO)

Interstorey drift

It should not exceed 0.004 times height of building

The valus is almost same as we see in the graph
