Seismic analysis and design of G +9 residential building using Etabs

  • Unique Paper ID: 181075
  • PageNo: 4115-4122
  • Abstract:
  • As per latest predictions more than 20% of the current Indian population is going to shift to town/cities in upcoming years. But due to space constraints in the cities multi-storey apartments play a major role in the urban infra- structure development. The main objective of this current study is to seismic analysis and design of a residential building (G+9) using ‘ETABS’ software is used for the analysis and design purpose and ‘AutoCAD’ is used for detailing and preparation of drawings for this project. Planning and designing a structure is an art to achieve safety, serviceability, durability and economy. For this purpose, a site is selected in which a building of (G+9) residential building is constructed. Each floor has four flats consisting of all facilities required for a residential house like bedroom, toilet, living, dining and kitchen and store room. The present project deals with the analysis and design of the apartment building for the purpose of analysis and design the dead load and live load and seismic load are considered. Here AutoCAD is used to prepare a plan. It involves outer appearance of the plan and elevation. E-Tabs software tools is used for the analysis purpose. Using ETabs for design and analysis of any structure gives the shear-force and bending-moment and shear-force of the members of the structure like of the beams and columns due to the load acting on them even before the construction of the structure which helps in considering the design properties of the structure like grade of concrete, grade of steel, size of column, and size of beams as required for the loads acting on the structure.
