ETABS MODELLING

Modeling in Etabs

New model
Use built in setting as below OR use settings from a model file
which is already set as a standard template. Using first option may
have a different unit system (Depends on the etabs default)

 New model Quick template

Grid spacing and storey data should be defined as required
Custom grid spacing can be used to have non uniform spacing
Add Structural objects as required. For normal structures, blank or
grid only options are handy.

Defining Master Storey

Defining Similar Storey

Define material Properties

Define section properties

BEAM

Column

SLAB

SHEAR
WALL

 Release torsion of both beam and

column

After modelling, Assign member

properties to the members as
required.

SUPPORT ASSIGNING

Select bases go to Assign joint restrained pinned or fixed as

required.

LOAD PATTERN

Only Dead load to have a self weigh multiplier of 1

LOAD DEFENITION

Go to assign ,shell loads and apply DL and LL as

appropriate

WIND LOAD DEFENITION

SEISMIC DEFENITION

Define mass source

Define Load Cases

Define load combination

Pier labelling for shear wall

Each wall demands separate pier labelling

Dont consider the floor just at the bottom
Define pier labelling add new name
Assign shell pier labelling
