How to make ETABS

models

Note : for intermediate student in computer program not beginner


.Please any note call me to discuss it

Examp
:leOur example
residential building
consist of 20 story
need to make
ANALYSIS & DESIGN
:with ETABS program

Starting ETABS.
At start convert unit to the unit you work with
From file list new model we get this massage

we choose default of program

Define the Grid.

When chose default this


window appears
choose grid only
in our example
number of
stories 20
story height 3m
units kN -M

.Plan View / 3D View


Your screen should
show one window
with a grid plan view
of your model and one
window with a grid
3D view of your
model.
Make sure the KN-M
is selected as your
units in the lower right
hand side of the
window.
Now is a good time to
save your model, so
click on the File/Save
and find a suitable
location for your file.

Now import your DXF file from *file / import / DXF floor plan

Choose your file and open it

Choose layers to
each element
(beams ,floors
,etc.)

Choose the story you insert


DXF in it

Define the Materials.


Next, we will define the
materials used in the model.
Concrete 40 & 60 grade will
be used.
The two materials will be
defined in successive steps.
Click Material Properties
from the Define pull down
menu.
Click Add New Material

For concrete 40 N/mm

-Type C40 for the Material


Name.
-Select Isotropic for the Type
of Material.
-Type 2.5 for the Mass per
unit Volume.
-Type 25 for the Weight per
unit Volume.
-Type 28E06 for the Modulus
of Elasticity.
-Type 0.2 for Poissons Ratio.
-Type 9.900E-06 for the Coeff
of Thermal Expansion.
-Select Concrete for the Type
of Design.
-Type 32000 for fc.
-Type 460000 for fy
-Type 460000 for fys.
-Click OK

For concrete 60 N/mm


The difference here
Modulus of elasticity equal
0.2*60(grade ) + 20 = 32

.Define the columns

Next, we will define the


concrete columns used in the
model. 25x80 cm columns
will be used.
The two concrete materials
defined in the previous step
will be used to define the
columns.

Material.
Type 0.8mfor the Depth.
Type 0.25m for Width.
Click OK.

Cracked section

Define the Shear walls.


Next, define the concrete shear
walls used in the model.
C60 shear walls will be used.
The concrete material defined
earlier in the tutorial will be
used to define the shear walls.
Click Wall/Slab/Deck
Sections from the Define
pull down menu.
Select Add New Wall from the
Click to: menu.

Define the C60 shear wall.


Type W25C60 as the Section Name.
Select C60 as the Material.
Type .25 for the Membrane Thickness.
Type .25 for the Bending Thickness.
Select Shell as the Type.
Click OK.

Cracked section
design

Define the slab.


Next, define the concrete slabs
used in the model.
C40 slabs will be used.
Click Wall/Slab/Deck
Sections from the Define

Select Add New slab from the
Click to: menu.

Define the slab 22 cm post tension C40.


Type S22CMPT as the Section Name.
Select C40 as the Material.
Type .22 for the Membrane Thickness.
Type .22 for the Bending Thickness.
Select Shell as the Type.
Click OK.

Important note:The slab is post tension so


there is no cracked section
design that mean no
modifiers

Assigning slab section


Select the slab
Click wall/slab/deck section from
shell/area From assign menu.
Select S22CMPT.
Click OK.

Drawing & assigning column and shear wall


First drawing column
Select the point u want to be a column
Click Extrude points to lines from
Edit menu.
Type -3 for dz.
Click OK.

Assigning column section


Select the column
Click Frame section from frame/line
From Edit menu.
Select C25x80.
Click OK.

Second drawing shear wall


-Select the lines u want to be a shear
wall
-Click Extrude lines to Areas from
Edit menu.
-Type -3 for dz.
-click Delete Source Objects.
Click OK.

Assigning shear wall section


Select the shear wall
Click wall/slab/deck section from
shell/area From assign menu..
Select W25C60.
Click OK.
Save your model.

Assigning Biers for wall sections


Select the shear wall each part alone
If the shear wall consist of HZ & VL
part (core) select HZ alone and VL
alone

Click pier label from shell/area from


assign menu

Write name P1 then click add new


name then ok

Do that for all walls HZ or VL
