Aim:

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

Procedure:

Step 1

Open a G+4 Etabs file

Click the concrete frame design tool

Select the display design info option

Choose design outputs as longitudinal reinforcement

Step 2

Step 6

Grid-A

From Base to first floor the maximum Ast is = 7027

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

= 8040mm^2

From first floor to terrace the maximum Ast is = 4800

So we can provide 6nos of 32mm dia bar = 6 x 804

= 4824mm^2

Grid-B

From Base to terrace the maximum Ast is = 5046

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

= 6432mm^2
