ABSTRACT

Structural engineers are mainly concerned with finding out the behaviour of a
structure when subjected to horizontal forces and adequate stiffness is required for
the buildings which are high rise in order to con front horizontal forces aroused by
winds and earthquakes. To confront the horizontal forces i.e., lateral loads
developed by earthquakes and to contribute more stiffness to the structure we use
shear walls , which are added to the interior of the proposed structure .the principle
objective of this project is to plan , analysis and design a multi-storeyed buildings
[ G+6 ( 3 dimensional frame)] using ETABS . The design involves analysing the
whole structure by ETABS .the design method used in ETABS analysis are Limit
state design conforming to Indian standard code of practice. ETABS feature a state-
of-the-art user interface, visualization tools, powerful analysis and design engines
with advance finite element and dynamic analysis capabilities. From model
generation , analysis and design to visualization and result verification, ETABS is
the professional’s choice. Initially it started with the analysis of simple two
dimensional frames and manually checked the accuracy of the software with the
results. The results proved to be very accurate for all possible load combinations
[dead , live, wind and seismic load].
ETABS stands for extended three dimensional analysis of building system. The
main purpose of this software is to design multi-storeyed building in a systematic
process. The effective design and construction of an earthquake resistant structures
have great importance all over the world. Every structural engineer should design a
building with most efficient planning and also be economical. They should ensure
that it is serviceable , habitable in healthy environment for its occupants and have a
longer design period.
