Reinforcement detailing of Columns from ETABS output

Aim: To Providing details of longitudinal reinforcement for the two columns from foundation to terrace level.

Softwares used:

• Etabs
• AutoCAD

Step 1:

• Open a G+4 Etabs file
• Click the Concrete Frame Design tool
• Select the Display Design Info option
• Choose design output as Longitudinal Reinforcement

Step 2:

• After Selecting the Longitudinal Reinforcement click Elevation View

Step 3:

• Calculate the reinforcement details of 3A and 3B

Step 4:

• For Shear reinforcement, Click the Concrete frame design tool
• Choose Shear Reinforcing
• Click apply and OK

Step 5:

• Shear reinforcement values are obtained at each column.

Step 6:

GRID A:

• From Base to first floor the maximum Ast is = 7027
• Provide 10nos of 32mm dia bar = 10 x 804 = 8040 sq.mm
• From First floor to Terrace the maximum Ast is = 4800
• Provide 6nos of 32mm dia bar = 6 x 804 = 4824 sq.mm

GRID B:

• From Base to Terrace the maximum Ast is = 5046
• Provide 8 nos of 32mm dia bar = 8 x 804 = 6432 sq.mm

Result: Longitudinal reinforcement for the two columns from foundation to terrace level is designed and detailing drawiing is done in AutoCAD
