Q Etabs
for structural analysis and design of buildings. Here's a simplified step-by-step procedure to
design a building using ETABS, along with justifications for each step:
Input the project details such as building location, height, and number of floors.
Justification: Establishing project parameters and building geometry is essential for
accurate modeling and analysis.
Input material types and cross-section details for beams, columns, and
slabs.
Justification: Accurate properties are crucial for realistic analysis and
design.
Add different types of loads (e.g., dead, live, wind, seismic) and create load
combinations.
Justification: Simulates actual forces the building will experience to
ensure safety.
