1. Poisson ratio is equal to v = 0 (cracked concrete) and v = 0.2 (un-cracked concrete) as

Notes:
1. Property modification factors are used to reduce moment and torsion stiffness due to
crack section. Torsional stiffness of the cracked section should be set equal to 10% of
the torsional stiffness of the un-cracked section.
2. Unless a more accurate analysis of the cracked elements is performed, the elastic
flexural and shear stiffness properties of concrete and masonry elements may be taken
to be equal to one-half of the corresponding stiffness of the un-cracked elements
(EN1998-1-1,cl. 4.3.1(7)).
3. These modification factor only affect the analysis properties, they do not affect the
design properties.

modal participation mass ratios
1. The sum of the effective modal masses for the modes taken into account amounts to at
least 90% of the total mass of the structure (EN 1998-1-1,cl.4.3.3.3.1(3)).
2. All modes with effective modal masses greater than 5% of the total mass are taken
into account.

Step 2: Damage limitations

ETABS MANUAL
Page: 25
The damage limitation requirements should be verified in terms of the interstorey drift (dr)
(EN 1998-1-1,cl.4.4.3.2) using the equation below:
! =>
dr: is the difference of the average lateral displacement ds in CM at the top and bottom of
storey.
v: is the reduction factor which takes into account the lower return period of the seismic
action.
h: is the storey height

For non-structural elements of brittle material attached to the structure

For building having ductile non structural elements

Step 3: Second order effects

DL + 0.3LL + EQX + 0.3EQY

DL + 0.3LL + EQX 0.3EQY
DL + 0.3LL - EQX + 0.3EQY
DL + 0.3LL - EQX 0.3EQY
DL + 0.3LL + EQY + 0.3EQX
DL + 0.3LL + EQY 0.3EQX
DL + 0.3LL - EQY + 0.3EQX
DL + 0.3LL - EQY 0.3EQX
2. Select the worst-case design combo
3. Select the nodes for frames only
4. Calculate the sum of the base shear that can be resist by column in X and Y
direction

ETABS MANUAL

i.e
VTOTAL
= 1000KN
VFRAMES, X ,Y = 500KN
VTOTAL / VFRAME 500/1000*100= 50%
Therefore the structural system of building is: Wall-equivalent dual system
How to checking base shear

Base shear can be check as follow:
Table 9: Checking the base shear
Direction
X direction
Lower bound values

Fb = %Effective mass(X dir.)*Mass *Sdx
Upper bound values

Fb = mass * Sdx
Y direction
Fb = %Effective mass(Y dir.)*Mass *Sdv
Fb = mass * Sdy
Note: The base shear should be within those limits
NOTE: REPEAT ALL THIS PROCESS FROM BEGIN WITH

THE NEW Q VALUE
Revised the design spectrum input data with the new q (for example if q=1.5 adopt at initial
stage and the new q=3 then you have to repeat the process with the new q)

ETABS MODELING ACCORDING TO EUROCODES

Step by step procedure and methodology of how you

1. Poisson ratio is equal to v = 0 (cracked concrete) and v = 0.2 (un-cracked concrete) as

Mass per unit Volume

Weight per unit volume

Step 5: Define Equivalent Static Analysis

1. Ground acceleration: Check seismic zonation map from National Annex

5.5Hz<M (High seismicity areas)

3. Ground type: Normally type B or C can be used (see EN 1998,table 3.1)

5. Behavior factor q: See table

6. Correction factor (EN1998-1-1,cl.4.3.3.2.2(1))
