(its k)








- open a new model , create new model as per settings
- custom grids spacing, custom story data as per given question
- go to define dialogue box, material properties create concrete(m30), rebars(HYSD fe415)
- go for section properties, frame settings create new properties for beams and columns assign it to level as given in problem
- go for section properties , slab definition select it
- go to define dialogue box, check load patterns as required
- go to define dialogue box,mass source data set select it and set values
- go to define dialogue box,check load cases are correct
- load combination for concrete design with user define as required
- go to quick draw columns,sketch frame assign to all levels
- go to quick draw beams , draw beams on grid lines by clicking
- go to select , properties , slab definition select it
- Go to select menu bar , properties, frame settings select all beams ex-(B 300x400) give assign frame loads ,distributed set values for each levels
- Go to select menu bar , properties, slab sections assign select it.Go to assign menu bar shell loads , uniform set values
- Go to select menu bar , properties, slab sections select it .Go to assign menu bar , shell, then check in diaphrams apply .( center of mass, lateral loads are calculated)
- Then run analysis and save the model
- In model explorer , go to tables ,analysis results , structural output then model information - table model check as per given criteria problem.
- check the analysis as performed for particular columns, beams, section under given condition specified.
