Aim : To analysis a G+7 building with th same floor plan through out the levels. The structural model must comply with provisions of IS 1893 and IS 13920. To Run a modal response spectrum analysis and check analysis results of the etabs model for inter-storey drift requirements, vertical & planar irregularities, minimum shear wall requirements,maximum axial load ratio for column and shear walls, effective moment of inertia for beams
and columns etc.
Procedure : Download the given attachement of the building plans.
step1 :Open etabs software . Give Indian IS codes as default. Customise the grid in x direction and y direction. Give storey as 9 since its a g+7 and we are considering plinth seperately and as well the top most terrace seperately as a level.

Then after the new tab will appears ,in that we select load patterns as brickwall,and we take uniform load as 3.5KN/m and then click on the apply button and close.
STEP(20):-
Next we have to click on the assign option and then selct shell loads from the shell loads we select the uniform option,as shown below.
Here we apply the 3KN/m2 live load for the staircase option,varanda,and lift core area.
Next we apply the 2KN/m2 live load for the remaining portions in the residential building ,as shown below.
STEP(21):-
Next we have to select live load reduction factors from the design option,as shown below.
Now we add the reduction factor by decreasing 10% from 1st floor to 7th floor ,as shown below.
STEP(22):-
Next from the define option we select the mass source ,as shown below.
Next we add the load patterns in the mass source Data ,as shown belwo.
STEP(23):-
In the select option we select object type option,as shown below.
After selecting the object type option,the new tab will be visible ,in that select the floors and click om the select button and close.
Next we have to select the diaphrams from the shell option,as shown below.
After selecting the diaphrams the new tab will appears,in that select D1 and click on the apply Button and close.
STEP(24):-
Next we have to select the pier lable from the shell option,as shown below.
Before goning to the shear wall design we have to assign the names for the shear walls (P1,P2,P3,P4,P5,P5,P6,P7,P8,P9),as shown below.
STEP(25):-
Next from the define option we select the load combinations ,as shown below.
Aftert selecting the load combinations the new tab is visible ,in that we select 'Add Default Design Combos' option.
Next we select "concrete frame design"&"concrete shear wall design"in the 'Add Default Design Combinations',as shown below.

STEP(26):-
Next we select the modal cases from the Define option,as shown below.
After selecting themodal cases the new tab is visible,in that we give modal case name as modal1& we give the maximum number of modes as 20 ,as shown below.
STEP(27):-
Next we have to check the model by clicking the check model option,as shown below.
After the model is checked ,then the warning tab will be visible and it tells that there is no warning message ,as shown below.
STEP(28):-
Now we select the response spectrum from the functions from define option,as shown below.
After selecting the response spectrum thenew tab is visible,in that we choose IS 1893-2016 from the 'choose function type' and click on the modify/show
spectrum option,as shown below.
After selecting the modify/show spectrum option the new tab will be visible ,in that we give the function name as IS FUNCTION and remaining details
will be set by the software itself,we don't need to change any of the details in that response function tab ,as shown below.
STEP(29):-
Next we have to selct the load cases from the define option,as shown below.
Next the load cases taab will be visible ,in that we select the 'Add new case' as shown below.
Now we have to enter the details of load case in the 'load case data' as shown below.
Now we have to do the run analysis ,as shown below.
STEP(30):-
Next from the display option we select the show tables option ,as shown below.
After selcting the show tables option the new tab will be visible.
Now we select the base reactions and click on the ok button ,as shown below.
Next the bae reactions table will be visible,as shown below.
Here we have to check that EQ should be closer to the RS ,to get the closer to each other we should calculate that ,(EQ/RS)X scale fasctor of response
spectrum.
Now substituting the values from the table,as X-direction(284406348/900.7656)X(9806.65),at Y-direction (2844.6348/1002.1982)X 9806.65.
At X- direction we get,30969.6.
At Y- direction we get ,27835.15.
We put the above values as scale factor for response spectrum at X and Y directions in the load case data.
After we enter these values for response specrtrum as scale factors at X and Y directio0ns in load case data, then the EQ is closer to the RS from the bas
reaction table,as shown below.
STEP(31):-
Next from the display option we select the show tabbles option ,as shown below.
After selecting the show tables option the new tab will be visible.
Now we select the modal participating mass ratios and click on the click on the ok button ,as shown below.
Now the modal participating mass ratios table will be visible,as shown below.
STEP(32):-
Next we select the story respoonse plots from the display option ,as shown below.
The story response for maximun story drifts at X & Y directions should not be more than 4%.
STEP(33):-
Next we open the select plan view tab and select the base floor,as shown below.
Next we have to open the reactions tab,then we select the earthquake load towards X-direction(EQX) in the load case,then click on the ok button asshown below.
Now the base shear reactions will mappears,as shown below.
When we divide the base shear taken up by the shear wall divided by the total base shear of building will get the % of the shear forces taken up by the
shear wall.And if that is less than 80% ,then the more shear walls we need to add to the structure.
RESULT : THE G+7 BUILDING IS ANALYSED IN ETBAS SOFTWARE AS PER THE I.S .CODES
