Structural Modelling using Etabs 2018

  1. The architectural drawings for a G+7 residential building in zone 5 has been provided. The floor plan is the same for all 7 floor levels. Possible column positions have also been provided. Conceptualize a framing plan layout and then model the building in Etabs. The following architectural drawings have been provided:
  • Typical floor plan – The location and thickness of the brick walls and the use of the
    space (for estimating live load) can be obtained from this plan
  • A building section through the staircase and lift core is provided
  • Parking layout in the ground floor – the column/shear wall arrangement must not
    obstruct entry/exit of vehicles.

The following loadings are to be taken into account:

  • Brickwall made of AAC blocks
  • Finishes – floor tiles of 75 mm thickness
  • Live loads as per IS 875 part 2
  • Water tank of 20 KL above the staircase at Mumty level
  • Lift Machine room at mumty level above lift core

Aim:- To design the G+7 residential building using Etabs

Introduction:- In this model we are design the G+7 residential building using etabs. In this model architectural model are provided my architeuct.

Procedure:-

Now Define the Column, Beam, Slab, shear wall

Defining Loads

Design Column, beam, slab, Shear walls

Run Analysis

  • as you see UX, UY, RZ is not more than 90%
  • Redesign the modal and increase the no of beams

Now sacle up the Rx, No need to Ry
