Structural Modelling using Etabs 2018

AIM : To create architectural drawings for a G+7 residential building in zone 5

INTRODUCTION :

The structural modelled with provisions of IS 1893, IS 13920 and IS 875 part 2

Materials taken as

  • Concrete M30
  • Steel HYSD 415, HYSD500

Section sizes taken as

  • Beam 300x400
  • Column 400x900
  • Column 600x600
  • Slab 150mm
  • Shearwall 300mm

Live load for taken as IS 875 Part 2

Time period is calculated using 0.09*h/`sqrtd` and got time period as 0.486sec

PROCEDURE :

  • Open etabs and enter grid data
  • Assign Storeys

  • Add new material property
  • Create Beams, Columns, Slabs, Walls
  • Now draw Beams, Columns, Slabs, Shear walls according to the given plan

  • Add load patterns
  • Assign Live loads

  • Assign Brick wall load
  • Water tank assigned at mumty level
  • Assign Mass source
  • Select floor and assign "Diaphragms
  • Define Model cases
  • Check model and Run analysis
  • Save this model into 2 other files. Total three files are created in which one model has full moment is taken, in second model gross moment is taken and third model analysed for response spectrum


  • For Response spectrum analysis - Define response function and load cases


  • Add load cases as shown below

  • Define load combinations and check for RSX, RSY
  • Check and Run analysis

RESULTS :

Go to display and click on show tables for structure output

Model 1 : Full moment model results

Model 2 : Gross moment model results

Storey displacement

Model 3 : Response spectrum analysis results

Modified scale factors
