Design and analysis of G+5 residential building using E-tabs

Abstract

ETABS stands for Extended Three Dimensional Analysis of Building Systems. 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. This project presents multi-storeyed residential building analysed and designed with lateral loading effect of earthquake using ETABS. This project is designed as per INDIAN CODES-IS 1893-part2:2002, IS 456:2000.. 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 longer design period. Structurally robust and aesthetically pleasing building are being constructed by combining the best properties of any construction material and at the same time meeting specific requirements like type of building and its loads, soil condition, time, flexibility and economy. In the view of above, the high rise buildings are best suited solution. This paper discusses the analysis of a commercial building (G+1) located at Hyderabad under effect of Seismic forces. Shear forces and bending moments of beams and columns are observed and concluded that larger span have more shear forces and bending moment.
