Answer:

Continuation from Project 1

Creation of Load combinations

Assigning the Loads to the structure

View of Brick wall load assign at all floors = 10.35 KN/m

View of Brick wall load assign at Terrace floor = 5 KN/m

Assigning Shell load to slabs = 4 KN/m2

View of load applied

Shear wall placement is identified after addressing the weak portion in the building to attain stability for modes

Create Mass source data

For Dead load multipler = 1

For Live load multipler = 0.5

as per IS 13920 for load > 3 KN/m2

Define load patterns

For Earthquake loads

EQ X

FOR EQ X+

FOR EQ X-

FOR EQ Y

FOR EQ Y+

FOR EQ Y-

Create Pier labels for the Shear walls

Go to Assign > Shell assignment > Pier label

Create Pier labels and assign them

P1,P2,P3,P4,P5,P6 for 6 shear walls

Define Diaphragm

for the slab to get as combined structure with Beams and columns

Assign Diaphragm for all the floors

View of Diaphragm assignment

again create new load combinations

Now the Model for ERRORS

It is observed that there are no warings and errors for the structure.

Now for the Precast structure it is obvious that all the joints of Beams and columns are Pinned

also the floors and walls are to be pinnedin each and every floor

so in ETABS Model it is necessary to make edge releases for all the joints

To create joints go to Assign > Shell assign > Edge releases

Selet the Floors,walls

To create joints go to Assign > Frame assign > Edge releases

Selet the Joints of beams and columns

View of Pinned joints at all the floors,walls,Beam-column Joints

Now Analyse the Structure

Analyse > RUN Analysis

Select the Modal Participation factor for the analysis

Modal ParticipationMass Ratios are observed for the Precast structure

The First Modal Participation Mass Ratio has Time period = 0.764 and Reaction in X direction = 0.6952 = 69%

The Second Modal Participation Mass Ratio has Time period = 0.552 and Reaction in Y direction = 0.6436 = 64%

The Third Modal Participation Mass Ratio has Time period = 0.368 and Reaction in Z direction = 0.6689 = 66%

The Participation mass ratios are observed in the certain range that is permissible with the Time period for

Zone 2 Building

Also the Difference between the Modal mass ratios is also in the range with the differece of approximate 5 %

The structure is very much stable for the first two modal participation ratios but the third modal ratio need to be some enhanced.

Scaling of Base shear for conversion of Equivalent Lateral Force Method to Modal Response Spectrum Analysis Method (MRSA)

Standard scale factor in ETABS = 9806.65

The scale factor purpose is to match the Values of ELF method and MRSA method.

Scale Factor for SPEC X = (430.9361/6491.1475)*9806.65 = 651.046

Scale Factor for SPEC Y = (602.0431/6093.6457)*9806.65 = 968.88

Scale factor Multiplier for SPEC X = 651.046

Scale factor Multiplier for SPEC Y = 968.88

It is observed the Final scale of this MRSA method match with the ELF method

ie. EqX , EqY values of Base shear which are highlighted below are matched with the SPECX and SPECY values.

Story Shear achieved after calculation with scale factor SPEC X = 440 KN

Story Shear achieved after calculation with scale factor SPEC Y = 620 KN
