Step-by-Step Guide to Structural Analysis and Design in ETABS

Set Design Coad
Define Grid And story data
Define material Properties
- Grade of Concrete
- grade of Steel Rebar
Define Gridewise properties for,
- Columns
- Shear walls
- Beam
- Column
Define Diaphragm
- Rigid
- Semi-Rigid
Draw Various structural element
- Columns
- Shearwalls
- Beams
- Slab
Assign Support to all Columns and Shear walls.
Assign Floorwise Diaphram
Assign Releases to Beam as per Edge Conditions
Define various Load,s Patten And Load cases
- Dead Load
- Super Dead Load
- Live Load
- Wind
- Seismic Response Spectrum
- Temp Load (if applicable)
- Fire tendon (if applicable)
Define Response Spectrum Friction for Lateral and Vertical Base Shear
Dynamic analysis can be defined either by Ritz vector or Eigei Vector.
Assign Various Super dead loads
- Floor Finish Load
- Filling Load
- Sunk Load
- Wall Load
- Service Load
- Any Other Load
Assign Various Live Loads
- SLL(Small Live Load) = (<3.0 KN/m2)
- BLL(Big Live Load) = (>3.0KN/m2)
Define P-Delta Analysis
Define Various Load- Combination and Define Service and Stzerigth Envelop.
Assign pier labels to Shearwalls and assign Meshing to wall and slab.
Check the Model and Run Analysis
Check and Ensure No “ILL CONDITION” NO INSTABILITY and NO ERRORS in the Model
Design various Structural Elements in StrengthLoad Combinations
Pertorn Design check for all members by verity all members passed.
