Etabs Modeling & Analysis Procedure

Part 01: Importing Drawing from Autocad 1. Draw plan in Autocad with 2 layers - column gridlines and Slab outlines. Then purge the CAD file and Save a dxf file of it. 2. Etabs File Import DXF File of Architectural Grid Layer Column gridlines Close the right window 3. Set Elevation view Edit Edit story data Insert story

4. Right click Edit story data Set Master story = 6th Floor Set Similar Story = 6 5. Right click Edit Grid Data Modify/Show System Modify/Show Grid Line Top story = 6, Bottom Story = GF Check to Apply to All

6. Bubble size = 5 Check to the next box of it 7. Set Plan View Level 6 OK

Part 02: Define Material, Section Properties & Slab Properties 1. Define material propertyDelete OtherSelect ConcModify/Show sectionC3Ksif'c=3 and Ec=3122 2. Define section properties Delete all sections Add new properties Define column & Beam Sections. Then delete W44x3435

3. Define slab properties Delete Plank1 & Wall1. Select Slab1Modify/Show sectionSlab5Put Membrane & Bending valus = 5 Part 03: Draw Column & Assign Column Support 1. Set All story options and draw column. Rotate column if necessary 2. Set One story option. Set plan view Base Select plan view of Base by dragging a window

3. Assign Support Restraint Part 04: Draw Beam Set Similar Story Options Plan View 6Draw Beam Part - 05: Import slab 1. Import DXF Floor Plan Floor Properties Deck1 Plan location (Story Level) = 6 2. Select the slab(Deck) (From Select wall/slab/deck section)

3. Assign shell/area wall/slab Slab5 (Now deck convert to slab5) 4. Set Building View Options Object Fill Apply to both Window

5. Slab5 is now only story 6, replicate the slab to all other story 6. Select wall/slab/deck section Slab5

7. Edit Replicate Story (select 5th to 1st story) OK Part - 06: Define Static Load 1. Dead load for slab, beam, column with factor =1 2. Live Load with factor = 0 3. Add new load Sdead (for partition wall and floor finish) Super Dead factor = 0 4. Wind Load (a) (a) WX ASCE 7-98 Add New Load Modify Lateral load Exposure from Extent of Rigid Diaphragms Wind speed 133 mph Exposure type A Wind Direction = 0. Give a Parapet wall height if desired (b) For WY Wind Direction = 90

(b)

5 Earthquake Load (a) EX1 UBC-97 Add New Load Modify Lateral Load X Dir + Eccen Y Method A, ct(ft) = 0.035, Seismic Zone factor = 0.15, Over strength factor = 8 (b) EX2 UBC-97 Add New Load Modify Lateral Load X Dir - Eccen Y Method A, ct(ft) = 0.035, Seismic Zone factor = 0.15, Over strength factor = 8 (c) EY1 UBC-97 Add New Load Modify Lateral Load Y Dir + Eccen X Method A, ct(ft) = 0.035, Seismic Zone factor = 0.15, Over strength factor = 8

(b)

(c)

(d)

(b) EY2 UBC-97 Add New Load Modify Lateral Load Y Dir - Eccen X Method A, ct(ft) = 0.035, Seismic Zone factor = 0.15, Over strength factor = 8

Part - 07: Assign the load (in Slab) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Change unit to lb-ft Apply Similar Story feature Select by wall/slab/deck section Slab5 Assign shell/area load Live loaduniform load 60 psf Get previous selection Sdead uniform Load 55 psf

Part - 08: Assign the slab as a Rigid Diaphragm 1. Select by wall/slab/deck section Slab5 2. Assign shell/area D1 OK Part - 09: Assign Area Object Mesh 1. Get previous selection Assign Shell /Area Area Object Mesh Default Part - 10: Assign Frame Joint Restraint 1. Select by Frame Section Select All Frame section of Beam & Column 2. Assign Frame line End (Length) Offset Rigid-Zone Factor = 0.5 3. Set Building View Options Extrusion then zooming 4. Select by Line Object Type Beam OK. 5. Assign Frame Line Insertion Point Set Cardinal Point = 8 (Top center) Part-11: Define Special Seismic Load Effect

Define Dont Include special seismic design data Part-12: Define Mass Source Define Mass Source From Loads Sdead (with factor 1) OK Part-13: Add Default Design Combo Define Add Default Design Combo Concrete Frame Design Convert to User Combinations (Editable)

Part - 14: Load combination 1. Leave UDCON1 2. Select UDCON2 Add New Combo UFL (Un-Factored Load for footing), Set all factor =1 3. Select UDCONN3 DFL1 ( Deflection) Set all factor =1 4. Select DFL1 DFL2 Set WX = -1, Other factor = 1 5. Select DFL2 DFL3 Delete WX Add WY Set all factor =1 6. Select DFL3 DFL4 WY = -1, Other factor = 1 Part 15: Assign wind load Wind load acts on GF to story 6 i.e. for a ht of 62 ft (=18.9 m), with wind speed = 215 kmph (for Dhaka, Gazipur), from calibration chart, we get P2 = 64.21 psf (for 18m ht.)

1. Go to plan view 6, Display Show Loads Joint/Point Load Case WX, we get 9930.4 ,
