ETABS Professioanl Course with 10 Story Building Design

Open ETABS 2020, create a new model using building settings with display units set to US customary, select concrete design code ACI 318-19, and apply a grid.

Define material properties for rebar and concrete, add new material with standard grades (40, 60, 75), set modulus of elasticity and unit weight, and update design property data.

Define and modify concrete section properties for columns, beams, slabs, and walls in ETABS, including concrete rectangular sections, reinforcement sizes, confinement bars, clear cover, and multiple copy operations.

Define load patterns for a 10-story building, set dead and live loads with multipliers, and develop load combinations including horizontal and vertical earthquake forces per ASCE 7-10 and relevant codes.

Define mass sources and select a load pattern, including lateral mass at street level. Apply code-based combinations, consider seismic weight sources, and account for dead load and live-load fractions.

Check and modify the load case by naming the live load as llf, confirm all definitions are complete, and move forward once everything looks okay.

Modify the ETABS grid system and story data to match the layout by adjusting grid spacing, units, and elevations for base, ground, and story levels across a 10-story design.

Draw columns as per column layout in the etabs professional course for a 10-story design, set up grids, place four columns, adjust sizes 15 to 18, and apply fixed restraints.

Draw beams in etabs per the beam layout, connect between grid points on plan view, select 12–18 inch sizes, and advance to modeling, analysis, and design of a 10-storey building.

Draw rectangular floor slabs in Etabs, place corners from reference points, set four feet five inches, adjust dimension style to engineering, and verify plan extensions before proceeding to staircase design.

Learn to assign loads in ETABS, including floor finish, live and dead loads, partition and staircase loads, and line or distributed loads on beams.

Learn how to replace and apply roof load in ETABS for a ten-story building, including selecting panels, removing partitions, and applying live, floor finish, and auto loads according to code.

Define the floor diaphragm in the etabs model by selecting coordinates and assigning diaphragm points, then apply and save the diaphragm. Prepare wind and earthquake loads per code for analysis.

Define earthquake load in etabs using an excel sheet, set load patterns in x direction, and apply country code, soil type, building height, zone coefficient, and concrete moment frame system.

Define wind load for a 10-story building using an Excel sheet, then input data into ETABS to compute wind factors, CP values, and gust factors for x and y directions.

Perform normal analysis and design, then run analysis with design combinations; use animation and interaction diagrams to verify reinforcement, length ratios, and member capacity before finalizing the model.

Learn to perform soil imitation checks in ETABS using ASC 705/710 Excel sheets, and extract 2D maximum displacement from earthquake and wind loads with unit conversion.

Assess soft story irregularity by analyzing stiffness in the x and y directions from the structure output and Excel sheet. Verify results across steps to confirm regular stiffness.

Assess torsional irregularity in a 10-story ETABS model by checking X and Y rotations under earthquake and wind loads, then improve stiffness with larger columns and beams.

Unlock the model, apply column and beam modifiers (0.7 for columns; 0.3–0.35 for beams), select the design code and seismic category, and run the concrete frame design.

Identify and remediate design failures in an Etabs model by diagnosing overstress in beams and columns, increasing section sizes, adjusting torsion, and re-running analysis to achieve all members passing.

Learn to design floor slabs with ETABS, selecting the design code and combinations, and evaluating finite element reinforcement results for top and bottom reinforcement.

Select the wall portion, show selected object only to isolate it, then assign an auto rectangular mesh that creates mesh on every two fields with the default option, and apply.

Learn how to assign a pier level on a wall in ETABS, select or create a power level, name it, and apply the change before design.

Apply the simplified C and T method for shear wall design in ETABS, perform seismic design checks, set materials and thickness, and assess boundary element values, tension and compression reinforcement.

Design shear walls in Etabs using uniform reinforcing methods, setting bar size 60, 10 in spacing, 1.5 in cover, and verifying provided versus required reinforcement and boundary elements.

Define sections and assign materials in the general reinforcing workflow, then set bar size to 16 and bar spacing to 8 inches, and run check and design to verify reinforcement.

Learn to design a shear wall in ETABS and perform rebar calculation using Excel, placing vertical and horizontal reinforcement with code-based spacing and ratios.
