      Chapter 1

      Starting with ETABS

      The major topics covered in this chapter are:

      •Introduction

      •Downloading and Installing Educational ETABS

      •Starting ETABS

      •Creating a New Model

      •Steel Design and Concrete Design Codes

      •User Interface of ETABS

      •Opening a document

      •Basic Settings for ETABS

      Introduction

      ETABS is a 3D Modeling and analysis software used to prepare and analyze the building models for real load conditions as per the building design codes. ETABS is capable of performing simple as well as largest & complex non-linear problems of multi-storey. Following are some of the tasks that can be performed easily with the help of ETABS:

      •Multi-story commercial, government and health care facilities

      •Parking garages with circular and linear ramps

      •Buildings with curved beams, walls and floor edges

      •Buildings with steel, concrete, composite or joist floor framing

      •Projects with multiple towers

      •Complex shear walls and cores with arbitrary openings

      •Performance based design utilizing nonlinear dynamic analyses

      •Buildings based on multiple rectangular and/or cylindrical grid systems

      •Flat and waffle slab concrete buildings

      •Buildings subjected to any number of vertical and lateral load cases and combinations, including automated wind and seismic loads

      •Multiple response spectrum load cases, with built-in input curves

      •Automated transfer of vertical loads on floors to beams and walls

      •Capacity check of beam-to-column and beam-to-beam steel connections

      •P-Delta analysis with static or dynamic analysis

      •Explicit panel-zone deformations

      •Punching shear checks for concrete slabs

      •Construction sequence loading analysis

      •Multiple linear and nonlinear time history load cases in any direction

      •Foundation/support settlement

      •Large displacement analyses

      •Nonlinear static pushover

      •Buildings with base isolators and dampers

      •Design optimization for steel and concrete frames

      •Design of concrete slabs using mild reinforcement and post-tensioning
