Extended Three Dimensional Analysis of Building Systems

In the present days, the population is growing rapidly, to meet the requirements of population multi-storied building with rapid construction is preferred. The main perspective of this work is to analyze G+13 storied residential building. The precast structural system is considered in this present work for rapid construction. The total Building consists of the precast load bearing members walls and slabs using ETABS. ETABS is a sophisticated, yet easy to use, special purpose analysis and design program developed specifically for building systems. ETABS features an intuitive and powerful graphical interface coupled with unmatched modelling, analytical, design, and detailing procedures, all integrated using a common database.

Introduction to ETABS

ETABS stands for Extended Three-dimensional Analysis of Building Systems. ETABS is commonly used to analyze: Skyscrapers, parking garages, steel & concrete structures, low and high rise buildings, and portal frame structures. ETABS was used to create the mathematical model of the Burj Khalifa, designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill LLP (SOM). The input, output and numerical solution techniques of ETABS are specifically designed to take advantage of the unique physical and numerical characteristics associated with building type structures.

Modeling Capabilities

On ETABS we can analyse and design any shape of R.C.C buildings like rectangular, T, C, L and I-shape. In this project, we mainly emphasize on the structural behaviour of the multi-storey building for different plan configurations like Modelling of multi-storey R.C.C. framed building is done on the ETABS Software for analysis. Post analysis of the structure, maximum shear forces, bending moments, and maximum storey displacement is computed and then compared for all the analyzed cases.

User-Friendly Interface

ETABS is a sophisticated, yet easy to use, special purpose analysis and design program developed specifically for building systems. ETABS features an intuitive and powerful graphical interface coupled with unmatched modelling, analytical, design, and detailing procedures, all integrated using a common database. Although quick and easy for simple structures, ETABS can also handle the largest and most complex building models, including a wide range of nonlinear behaviors necessary for Performance-based design, making it the tool of choice for structural engineers in the building industry.

Comprehensive Design Tools

ETABS is a special-purpose computer program developed specifically for building structures. It provides the Structural Engineer with all the tools necessary to create, modify, analyze, design, and optimize building models.These features are fully integrated into a single, Windows-based, graphical user interface that is unmatched in terms of ease of use, productivity, and capability. The innovative and revolutionary new ETABS is the ultimate integrated software package for the structural analysis and design of buildings.Incorporating 40 years of continuous research and development, this latest ETABS offers unmatched 3D object based modelling and visualization tools ,blazingly fast linear and nonlinear analytical power, sophisticated and comprehensive design capabilities for a wide range of materials, and insightful graphic displays, reports, and schematic drawings that allow users to quickly and easily decipher and understand analysis and design results.
