Pier and Spandrel Labelling in ETABS
Pier and Spandrel Labelling in ETABS
Wall elements can be grouped together and assigned a pier label, this is the basis of the shear
wall design and careful consideration should be given to the labelling of piers. If a wall is broken
by an opening the remaining wall elements each side of the opening should be labelled as
separate piers.
