 Introduction

The term building in Civil Engineering is used to mean a structure having various
components like foundation, walls, columns, floors, roofs, doors, windows, ventilators, stairs
lifts, various types of surface finishes etc. Structural analysis and design is used to produce a
structure capable of resisting all applied loads without failure during its intended life. Prior to
the analysis and design of any structure, necessary information regarding supporting soil has to
be collected by means of geotechnical investigation. A geotechnical site investigation is the
process of collecting information and evaluating the conditions of the site for the purpose of
designing and constructing the foundation for a structure. Structural engineers are facing the
challenges of striving for most efficient and economical design with accuracy in solution while
ensuring that the final design of a building and the building must be serviceable for its intended
function over its design life time. Now a days various software packages are available in market
for analyzing and designing practically all types of structures viz. RISA, STAADPRO, ETABS,
STRUDL, MIDAS, SAP and RAM etc.

ETABS is the presentday leading design software in the market. Many design
company’s use this software for their project design purpose. So, this paper mainly deals with
the comparative analysis of the results obtained from the analysis of a multi storied building
structure when analysed manually and using ETABS software. Structural response to
earthquake depends on Dynamic characteristics of the structures and intensity, duration and
frequency content of existing ground motion. Structural analysis means determination of the
general shape and all the specific dimensions of a particular structure so that it perform the
function for which it is created and will safely withstand the influences which will act on it
throughout its useful life.
Objectives
To perform analysis and design of the structure without any type of failure.

1. To understand the basic principles of structures by using Indian Standard Codes

2. To understand the parameters of the design for beams, columns, slabs, and other structural
components.
3. To prepare the 3D model of the structure by using the E-TABS Software for detailed analysis
and design.

Methodology / Procedure :
Step - 1: Initial setup of Standard Codes and Country codes
Step - 2: Creation of Grid points & Generation of structure After getting opened with ETABS we
select a new model and a window appears where we had entered the grid dimensions and story
dimensions of our building.

Step - 3: Defining of property Here we had first defined the material property by selecting define
menu material properties. We add new material for our structural components (beams, columns,
slabs) by giving the specified details in defining. After that, we define section size by selecting
frame sections as shown below & added the required section for beams, columns, etc.

Step - 4: Assigning of Property After defining the property we draw the structural components
using the command menu. Draw a line for the beam for beams and create columns in the region for
columns by which property assigning is completed for beams and columns.

Step - 5: Assigning of Supports By keeping the selection at the base of the structure and selecting
all the columns we assigned supports by going to assign menu joint\frame Restraints (supports)
fixed.

Step - 6: Assigning of Dead loads After defining all the loads. Dead loads are assigned for external
walls, internal walls by taken as mention above table.

Step - 7: Assigning of Live loads Live loads are assigned for the entire structure including floor
finishing.

Step - 8: Assigning of wind loads Wind loads are defined and assigned as per IS 875 1987 PART 3
by giving wind speed and wind angle. But since this is a G+5 Residential Building having a total
height of fewer than 17 meters there is no need of assigning wind loads or earthquake loads.

Step - 9: Assigning Seismic loads Seismic loads are defined and assigned as per IS 1893: 2002 by
giving zone, soil type, and response reduction factor in X and Y directions. But since this is a G+5
Residential Building having a total height of less than 17 meters there is no need of assigning
Seismic loads.

Step - 10: Assigning of load combinations Using load combinations command in define menu 1.5
times of dead load and live load will be taken as mentioned above.
Step - 11: Analysis After the completion of all the above steps, we have performed the analysis
and checked for errors.

Step - 12: Design After the completion of the analysis, we have performed a concrete design on
the structure as per IS 456:2000. ETABS performs the design for every structural element. By
using the centerline diagram the grid system is given by X and Y coordinates and the spacing
method of the grid system is adopted for the convenience of the user.

Results of Analysis

Conclusion
1. Analysis was done by using ETABS software and successfully verified manually as per IS456.

2. Calculation by both manual work as well as software analysis gives almost same result.

3. Further the work is extended for a 4 storey building and found that the results are matching.

4. As the 4-storey building has similar floors ETABS is the perfect software which can be adopted
for analysis and design.

5. Usage of ETABS software minimizes the time required for analysis and design.
