Reinforcement detailing of Columns from ETABS output

Aim:

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

Step 1:

1) Load the previous file to Etabs workspace.

2) Go to Design -> Concrete Frame Design -> Start Design/Check.

3) Select the Display Design Info option choose design output as Longitudinal Reinforcement.

Step 2:

1) After Selecting the Longitudinal Reinforcement click Elevation View.

2) To avoid the confusions Hide the beam content only column will be visible.

3) Go to View -> Set Display Options and deselect the beams option.

Step 3:

1) Now need to check the reinforcement details of 3a and 3b.

2) To get output file as Shear reinforcement.

3) Go to Design -> Concrete Frame Design -> Display Design Info.

4) Click apply and ok.

5) After selecting the Shear reinforcement option the shear reinforcement values are obtained at each column.

Step 6:

GRID A:

1) From Base to first floor the maximum Ast is = 7027

2) So we can provide 10nos of 32mm dia bar = 10 x 804

= 8040 `mm^2`

3) From First floor to Terrace the maximum Ast is = 4800

4) So, We can provide 6nos of 32mm dia bar = 6 x 804

= 4824 `mm^2`

GRID B:

1) From Base to Terrace the maximum Ast is = 5046

2) So we can provide 8 nos of 32mm dia bar = 8 x 804

= 6432 `mm^2`

Therefore it can be satisfied entire span.
