Tutorial for design of foundations using safeAsaye Dilbo
This document provides a tutorial on designing foundations using the CSI-SAFE software. It outlines how to model isolated, combined and mat foundations. Specifically, it describes how to design a square isolated footing from the built-in model by inputting dimensions, loads and material properties. It also mentions how to model rectangular and circular footings using grids or importing from AutoCAD. The tutorial is intended for readers familiar with shallow foundation design theory.
This document presents an example of analysis design of slab using ETABS. This example examines a simple single story building, which is regular in plan and elevation. It is examining and compares the calculated ultimate moment from CSI ETABS & SAFE with hand calculation. Moment coefficients were used to calculate the ultimate moment. However it is good practice that such hand analysis methods are used to verify the output of more sophisticated methods.
Also, this document contains simple procedure (step-by-step) of how to design solid slab according to Eurocode 2.The process of designing elements will not be revolutionised as a result of using Eurocode 2. Due to time constraints and knowledge, I may not be able to address the whole issues.

Structural design is the primary aspect of civil engineering. The foremost basic in
structural engineering is the design of simple basic components and members of a building viz., Slabs,
Beams, Columns and Footings. In order to design them, it is important to first obtain the plan of the
particular building. Thereby depending on the suitability; plan layout of beams and the position of
columns are fixed.

The grid is drawn representing the building plan. Beams, columns, walls and slabs can then be drawn by connecting nodes on the grid. Modeling tools allow modifying the structural model by merging joints, aligning elements, and editing frames.
Book for Beginners, RCC Design by ETABSYousuf Dinar
Advancement of softwares is main cause behind comparatively quick and simple
design while avoiding complexity and time consuming manual procedure. However
mistake or mislead could be happened during designing the structures because of not
knowing the proper procedure depending on the situation. Design book based on
manual or hand design is sometimes time consuming and could not be good aids with
softwares as several steps are shorten during finite element modeling. This book may
work as a general learning hand book which bridges the software and the manual
design properly. The writers of this book used linear static analysis under BNBC and
ACI code to generate a six story residential building which could withstand wind load
of 210 kmph and seismic event of that region. The building is assumed to be designed
in Dhaka, Bangladesh under RAJUK rules to get legality of that concern organization.
For easy and explained understanding the book chapters are oriented in 2 parts. Part A
is concern about modeling and analysis which completed in only one chapter. Part B
is organized with 8 chapters. From chapter 1 to 7 the writers designed the model
building and explained with references how to consider during design so that
creativity of readers could not be threated. Chapter 8 is dedicated for estimation. As a
whole the book will help the readers to experience a building construction related all
facts and how to progress in design. Although the volume I is limited to linear static
analysis, upcoming volume will eventually consider dynamic facts to perform
dynamic analysis. Implemented equations are organized in the appendix section for
easy memorizing.
BNBC and other codes are improving and expending day by day, by covering new
and improved information as civil engineering is a vast field to continue the research.
Before designing something or taking decision judge the contemporary codes and
choose data, equations, factors and coefficient from the updated one.
Book for Beginners series is basic learning book of YDAS outlines. Here only
rectangular grid system modeling and a particular model is shown. Round shape grid
is avoided to keep the study simple. No advanced analysis is described and it is kept
simple for beginners. Only two way slab is elaborated with direct design method,
avoiding other procedures. In case of beam, only flexural and shear designs are made.
T- Beam, L- Beam or other shapes are not shown as rectangular beam was enough for
this study. Bi-axial column and foundation design is not shown. During column and
foundation design only pure axial load is considered. Use of interaction diagram is not
shown in manual design. Load centered isolated and combined footing designs are
shown, avoiding eccentric loading conditions. Pile and pile cap design, Mat
foundation design, strap footing design and sand pile concept are not included in this
A raft foundation is a large concrete slab that interfaces columns with the base soil. It can support storage tanks, equipment, or tower structures. There are different types including flat plate, plate with thickened columns, and waffle slab. The structural design uses conventional rigid or flexible methods. It involves determining soil pressures, load eccentricities, moment and shear diagrams for strips, punching shear sections, steel reinforcement, and checking stresses. A beam-slab raft foundation design follows the same process as an inverted beam-slab roof.
The document provides an overview of the numerical analysis model used in MIDAS/Gen, including coordinate systems, nodes, element types, and modeling considerations.

Evaluating Seismic Efficiency with Combination of Bracings in Steel Building ...IRJET Journal
This document presents a study that uses ETABS software to analyze the behavior of steel-framed buildings with different bracing systems under seismic loads. The researchers modeled a G+5 steel building located in seismic zone V of India in AutoCAD and ETABS. They applied dead loads, live loads, and seismic loads as per Indian codes and analyzed the model using the response spectrum method. The study compares models with different bracing types, including X-braces, diagonal braces, and eccentric braces, in terms of storey drift, storey displacement, and base shear. The results show that bracing systems are effective at reducing lateral displacement of the structure during earthquakes.
High Rise Buildings were inconsiderable for many years in our country as it was not considered safe but ETABS is an earthquake resistant software that ensures safety of high-rise building and can be built anytime or anywhere.
1.Where do we come in?
ETABS caters to multi-story building analysis and design. It offers all engineering activities, from analysis to design completion.

6.Non-Linear Hinges:
Hinges may be assigned (uncoupled) to any of the six DOF. Post-yield behavior is described by the general backbone relationship shown. For nonlinear pushover, and nonlinear direct-integration time-history analyses, users may simulate post-yielding behavior by assigning concentrated plastic hinges to frame and tendon objects.
7.Staged Construction
Nonlinear effects such as large deflections, yielding and gap-opening and closing. Time-dependent, shrinkage and strength-change effects will all so be considered in the construction of a model.
8.Pushover Analysis
The nonlinear layered shell element enables users to consider plastic behavior of concrete shear walls, slabs, steel plates and other finite area elements in the pushover analysis. Force-deformation relations are defined for steel and concrete hinges. The hinge and fiber hinge option based on stress-strain is an extension of ASCE-13.
9. How ETABS Tackles Performance Based Design?
ETABS Ultimate gives user the option to either define the hinge property or to use auto generated. Not only that, with ETABS now you can convert a site-specific response (RMS) to equivalent time history in real-time.
10. Stable and Fast Nonlinear Analysis (FNA) Implemented for PBD
PBD is an attempt to capture the of a structure by explicitly modelling and evaluating post-yield ductility and energy dissipation when subject to earthquake ground motions. The fundamental component is nonlinear dynamic analysis where an attempt is made to capture the real behavior of the structure by analyzing how it reacts in the wake of an earthquake.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF DIAGRID STRUCTURE WITH VARIOUS INDIAN SEISMIC ZONEIRJET Journal
This document analyzes the performance of diagrid structural systems under seismic loading from various Indian seismic zones. 28 models of diagrid structures with varying parameters like storey height, member angles, and densities are analyzed using ETABS software. Response spectrum analysis is conducted to evaluate time period, base shear, storey displacement, drift, and other response parameters. Results show that seismic zone IV and V produce the highest displacements and drifts, with increases of around 33-38% compared to zone II. Models with varying member angles through the height generally perform better than uniform models. The study aims to determine the optimal diagrid configurations for different seismic zones in India.

Comparative Study of Seismic Analysis of RC Frame Structure with and without ...IRJET Journal
This document presents a comparative study of seismic analysis of RC frame structures with and without belt truss and outrigger truss systems. Three 30-story RC frame models are analyzed using ETABS software: a regular structure, one with a belt truss, and one with an outrigger truss. Response spectrum analysis is conducted based on Indian seismic code IS 1893. The addition of truss systems improves seismic performance by reducing base shear, inter-story drift, and displacements. Specifically, the model with a belt truss performed best with the shortest period and lowest base shear, drift, and displacements. Therefore, belt trusses are more suitable than outriggers for high-rise buildings to improve earthquake resistance.
