Lecture No: 01 ETABS stands for “Extended 3D Analysis of building systems” In this software we have to follow the scheme as given below: 1. 2. 3. 4.

“Wetting” means to cross check the work one’s person. The one who cross checks is called ‘Wetter’. PBC stands for ‘Pakistan Building Codes’ ETAB is quite goog for the concrete structures. Generation of results is very convinent in ETAB ETAB, SAP & STAAD results for the slab case are not satisfactory. While SAFE gives relative better results for Slab design. Wood, Aluminium, concrete etc all materials based buildings can be design on STAAD. STAAD gives more conservative results, as the factor of safties used in STAAD are greater. In ETAB at any stage units can be changed. Results of ETAB for steel Trusses are also satisfactory.

Or divide the Slab perimeter by ‘15’ to get answer in Inches. Mostly it happens when beam fails, column also fails. -ive moment of the beam is resisted by column.

We have to increase the colmn’s no. or dimension, whenever the span changes (increases) Steel in column is usually 1 – 3% of the cross sectional area of column. ACI – gives provisions for the static loadings. UBC & IBC – for dynamic loadings. (UBC = Universal building codes) In ETABs distances are measured from C/C.

If fc’ is given in kips-in, check it out in which units u r working. If in kips-ft u r working then convert fc’ in kips-ft as: let, 4 x 144 = 576 kips-ft In case of concrete – stresses at all points are taken same – isotropic If you know the name of ur slab type, then u can select all the slab pannels at atime. The optin is in one of the tabs in menu bar. When & where, there are calculations – Engineering is needed.

Lateral Load (Earthquake & wind load) • • •

•

Min 10 m above the G.L – wind speed is required for designing building. Fastest wind speed km/hr – having probability to occur is 0.02 UBC 97 wind load: o Normal force method o Projected area Normal force method is mostly applicable for almost all type of structures and but only method for the gabled structures. Not applicable for 60 m high buildings.

Calculations: P = qsACDIW Where Iw is the importance factor

(From table 16-K)

qs = Wind stagnation pressure (0.5ρV2) (From table 16-F) Cd = Drag co-efficient = Ce × Cq And Ce = Combined height, exposure and gust factor co-efficient. Cq = pressure co-efficient

(from table 16-G)

(from table 16-H)

EXAMPLE: Determine the wind force for an office building in down town area with exposure type B? Wind speed = 160 km/hr Bay length = 5 m Bay width = 7.5 m Height = 6 @ 3.4 m from G.L


CAA & DOS

ETABS & SAP

Solution: P = QsACDIW

------------------- (1)

Using table of UBC we get IW = 1.0 Qs = 160 km/hr OR

% .%

M/hr = 100 M/hr

(1.6 factor comes from table 16-F)

Therefore; Qs = 25.6 against 100 M/hr

(table 16-F)

Cd = Ce × Cq Ce, since it varies with height, so make a table as shown below: H

•

ETABS doesn’t calculate the result for wind if diaphragm is not applied. First do your wind pressure calculations manually (as mentioned above) then assign it to the modeled walls Check “Exposure from area”
