Project 1 - MODELLING, ANALYSIS & DESIGN OF TALL BUILDINGS IN ETABS

PROJECT – 1 – MODELLING, ANALYSIS & DESIGN OF TALL BUILDINGS IN ETABS

AIM:

To model a tall building in ETABS for the given architectural drawing along with the given parameters and to design their frame elements.

PROCEDURE IN ETABS MODELLING:

COLUMN SPACING AND WALL SPACING MARKING IN THE ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING:

STORY ASSIGNMENET:

GRID ASSIGNMENT:

MATERIAL ASSIGNMENT:

FRAME SECTIONS, SLAB SECTION & WALL SECTION ASSIGNMENT:

LOAD PATTERNS:

MASS SOURCE & P-DELTA ASSIGNMENT:

LOAD CASE DEFINITIONS FOR EARTHQUAKE AND WIND:

LOAD COMBINATION FOR CONCRETE FRAME DESIGN:

MODELLING OF COLUMNS, BEAMS, SLABS & SHEAR WALLS:

WALL LOAD & FLOOR LIVE LOAD ASSIGNMENT:

RUN ANALYSIS & CHECK DESIGN OF FRAMES:

VERIFICATION OF GRAVITY LOAD AT BASE REACTION:

Floor area of each level = m^2

Live load assigned = 3 KN/m^2

Total live load at each level = KN

Overall live load in the tall building = 25 story X KN = KN

This is verified with the ETABS live load base reaction results as given below.

CONCLUSION:

Thus, a tall building with all given parameters and for the given architectural drawing is modelled and designed. Also detailed ETABS report, model working file are attached in the submission.
