Modelling of a Continuous Beam12:06
Analysis of The Continuous Beam6:13
Analysis of a Truss15:34
Define grids and spacing in ETABS to model a three-story truss. Apply supports and loads, run the analysis, and review the deformed shape, axial forces, and moment diagrams.

Read Architectural Drawing3:59
Model a three-story building in ETABS from an architectural drawing by studying ground, first, second floor plans with elevations, including section X and staircase, and define grids accordingly.
Define Grids10:16
define grids and set up a new ETABS model with IS 456:2000; adjust x and y spacing, set the J-direction grid, and define story heights with the master story concept.
Define Materials4:38
Define Section Properties8:14
Define section properties in ETABS by creating beam, column, and slab concrete sections under frame sections, specifying depth and width, and reinforcement details including M20 and confinement bars.
Correction of Grids1:09
Modify grids to correct the grid system, set x coordinates and spacing for rectangular grids, and enter 11 ft 11 in from AutoCAD to establish an accurate grid.
Modelling Up To Ground Floor5:19
Modelling of First Floor4:06
Modeling of Second and Third Floors3:59
Extruding the Model1:10
Modeling of Balcony4:43
Model balcony in ETABS by drawing from first floor, using a reference point and plan offset for a 3 ft 6 in edge, and copying the slab to second floor.
Assigning Support to the Model1:04
Lowering The Tie Beam3:06
Lower the tie beam in ETABS by adjusting its elevation below plinth level using a 450 mm plan offset, ensuring the beam sits below ground and checking column shear.
Design of Residential Building

Read Architectural Drawing of Staircase2:37
Define Reference Points and Reference Planes8:44
Model Staircase From Ground Floor to First Floor5:39
Define slab cross-section properties and thickness, switch units to millimeters, then model staircase from ground to first floor by drawing staircase slab, landing slab, and using reference planes.
Model The Landing Beam1:30
Define a nine by nine inch beam in ETABS, set its section properties in frame sections with M20 concrete, and draw the beam and column to support the slab.
Model Staircase From First Floor to Second Floor2:08

Model Secondary Beams3:36
Learn how to model secondary beams in ETABS, including when they rest on primary beams, defining a secondary beam section, and drawing one or multiple beams with correct orientation.
Model Curved Beams4:16
Different Modes of Modelling a Beam3:55
Offsetting The Beam While Modelling0:31
Learn how to offset a beam while modeling in ETABS using the offset option, drawing a beam between points, and choosing among different modes.
Modelling Circular Columns2:07
Learn to model circular concrete columns in ETABS by defining new concrete section properties, setting reinforcement and confinement details, and using quickdraw to create a two-column frame.
Modelling Eccentric Columns1:14
Learn how to model eccentric columns in ETABS by using quickdraw columns, adjusting cardinal points and positions such as bottom left, bottom center, and bottom right to place off-axis columns.

Defining Load Patterns, Diaphragm and Mass Source8:04
This video explains how you can define load patterns in ETABS. It also explains the meaning of diaphragm and how you can define and assign diaphragm in ETABS. It also explains the meaning of mass source and how you can define mass source in ETABS.
Application of Partition Load11:10
This video describes how to apply partition load on ETABS. The partition load is applied on the beam both on outside and inside. The partition load in this video is take of the brick wall. However, if you go through this video you can learn how to apply any kind of partition load on the beam in ETABS.
Application of Shell/ SLab Load6:46
This video explains how we can apply load on the slab in ETABS. On a slab, loads such as floor finish, live load and partition loads are applied. This video explains each and every step of the slab load application.
Application of Wall Load on Slab/Shell15:20
Meshing of Slab and Frame Structures5:36
This video explains the meaning of meshing in etabs. It also explains how we can mesh our slab and frame members.

Application of Lateral Loads Introduction1:28
This video explains about the introduction of different kinds of lateral loads that have to be applied on the building.
Application of Earthquake Load Method-15:31
This video explains how can we apply earthquake load by using first method.
Application of Earthquake Load Method-26:32
This video explains how can we apply earthquake load by using second method.
Application of Earthquake Load Method-35:32
This video explains how can we apply earthquake load by using third method.
Application of Wind Load4:25
