ETABS NOTE

STABILITY CHECK

 For concrete strength, Fc : cube to cylinder x 0.83

 No need to assign secondary beam first (assign during design stage)
 Shear wall assign as thin shell
 Slab assign as thin shell (some area need rigid frame, only thin shell can take rigid frame)

Cantilever

 Assign as dummy slab

 Go to Assign shear load uniform slab set property as none

Basement

 Add soil properties based on SI report

 Go to Define spring properties soil profile add new  insert soil properties (soil layer start from
ground level)
 Pile cap as pin support
 Wall as soil profile
 Go to basement plan view select wall joint  go to assign joint spring soil

Run analysis

 Go to deform shape mode 1 (stability of structure on its own) (time period)

 Load involve SW + DL + LL
 DL include finishes, brick wall etc.
 Time period of mode shape depends on load assign
 Wind load consider as temporary load

 Go to deform shape mode 2 (twisting)

 Go to display show table analysis result model result (click whole thing)

TIME PERIOD
<0.18 X NO. OF STOREY
(MODE 1)
STABILITY
TWISTING
< 0.05 rad
(MODE 2)
DESIGN STAGE

Assign Load

 Go to Define load cases ??

 Go to Define load pattern load (create necessary load eg: wind x, wind y) type (eg: wind) auto lateral
load (choose code of practice)
 For façade design wind load will be assign as shell

Y
 For normal structural design will be at center

 Go to define  load combination  default

 Go to assign  shell load  uniform  load pattern (eg: live, dead, etc) (key in load)
 Run analysis
 Go to display  deformed shape (to see deflection)
 For own design
 Go to analysis  result  frame result
 To show beam label
 Go to   object assignment  frame assignment  labels (click on beam)
 To display force/moment diagram
 Go to display  force /stress diagram  frame
 Using Etabs to design
 Go to define  load combination  add default  click concrete  frame, shear , slab  ok
 Run analysis
 Go to design  concrete frame (for beam /column design) start design check
 Go to design  shear wall (for wall design)  start design check
 For shear wall design need to define pier/spandrel
- Go to define  pier label  insert name  ok
- Go to plan view  assign  pier label (highlight shear wall to assign)
- Run analysis
