    The document describes different structural analysis models including: - Frame and grid models which represent structures using bar or rod elements and can model skeletal or surface structures in 2D or 3D. - Membrane models which ignore bending stiffness and are suitable for thin structures undergoing in-plane loads and stresses. - General plate-shell models which combine membrane and plate capabilities and are suitable for curved or thick shell structures. - Meshing considerations for shear wall design using shell elements to capture shear and axial behavior but requiring multiple elements to capture bending. - Methods for connecting walls to slabs in the model, such as using matching meshes or "zipper" elements.

    Frame and Grid Model

    The structure represented by rod or


    bar type elements

    Does not model the cross-section


    dimensions
    Suitable for skeletal structures
    Sometimes surface type structures
    can also be represented by frame
    model
    The simplest and easiest model to
    construct, analyze and interpret

    Can be in 2D or in 3D space

    2D Frame

    3D Frame
    2D Grid

    Membrane Model

    Ignore bending stiffness


    Tension / Compression
    In- plane Shear
    For in plane loads
    Principle Stresses
    suitable for very thin
    structures / members
    Thin Walled Shells,
    Specially Suitable for Ferro
    Cement Structure

    General Plate-Shell Model


    Combined Membrane and Plate
    Suitable for general application to
    surface structures
    Suitable for curved structures
    Thick shell and thin shell
    implementations available
    Membrane thickness and plate
    thickness can be specified
    separately
    Numerous results generated.
    Difficult to design the section for
    combined actions

    Shear Wall Design Meshing


    Shell Deformations:
    Three types of deformation that a single shell element
    could experience
    A single shell element in the program captures shear
    and axial deformations well.

    But a single shell element is unable to capture bending


    deformation.

    Connecting Walls to Slab

    Zipper

    In general the mesh in the slab


    should match with mesh in the
    wall to establish connection

    Some software automatically


    establishes connectivity by
    using constraints or Zipper
    elements

    Shear Wall & Frame

    Shear Wall Behavior

    Frame Behavior

    Column Beam Connection

    Scale factor for Response Spectrum


    The design spectrum of IS:1893 is actually the MCE(Maximum
    considered EQ)-level spectrum which must be reduced by dividing this
    value by a factor of 2R
    SF = I*g/(2R)
    R is the response reduction factor
    I is the importance factor
    g is the gravitation force i.e 9.81m/s
    Note:-Increase the scale factor of the first run such that the resultant
    base shear matches the code specification.

    Similar Stories Drop Down List


    One Story option. An object drawn in plan occurs only at the level
    where it is drawn. An assignment made in a plan view applies only to
    the object(s) actually selected.
    Similar Stories option. An object drawn in plan or 3D view will occur
    at all stories that are designated as similar to it, if it is designated as a
    master story.
    All Stories option. An object drawn in plan occurs at all story levels,
    except the base (or support) level. An assignment made to an object
    in a plan view also occurs at all story levels, except the base level,

    Modeling
    1.Import DXF file of architectural grid
    To ensure that the architectural grid is appropriately imported in ETABS, make sure that the DXF
    layer names are consistent with the architectural grid you need to import.

    2.Import DXF floor plan


    To ensure an accurate geometric modelling in ETABS, it is recommended that the structural floor
    plan is used as far as possible. Make sure that appropriate layers are selected to be imported.
    Draw diagonal lines for columns
    Draw centerlines of transfer / lateral beams

    Draw centerlines for shear walls


    Draw X-Y axis to represent origin in ETABS (geometric center of floor)
    Save drawings as *.DXF file
    Import *.DXF file in ETABS as outlines above
