Complete structural analysis and design of the sample precast building (G+6) in Bhopal, M.P., India using ETABS
Key Highlights:
Collaboration of course content from week 07 - Week 12
Interpretation of framing plans to develop the analytical model
Preparation of analytical model in ETABS: Geometry
Preparation of analytical model in ETABS: Loads
Analyzing the structural behavior of the model
Checking the deflections, reaction uplift, story drifts in the analytical model
Element design of every structural member
Design for precast connections
Deliverables:
Error free ETABS model of the building
Element design of structural members
Connection design of precast connection (sketches)
Complete calculation report of the building
SOLUTION:
Creation of Load combinations
Assigning the Loads to the structure
View of Brick wall load assign at all floors = 10.35 KN/m
View of Brick wall load assign at Terrace floor = 5 KN/m
Assigning Shell load to slabs = 4 KN/m2
View of load applied
Shear wall placement is identified after addressing the weak portion in the building to attain stability for modes
Create Mass source data
For Dead load multipler = 1
For Live load multipler = 0.5
as per IS 13920 for load > 3 KN/m2
Define load patterns
For Earthquake loads
EQ X
FOR EQ X+
FOR EQ X-
FOR EQ Y
FOR EQ Y+
FOR EQ Y-
WIND LOAD assign in Wind X+
Wind X-
Wind Y+
Wind Y-
Create Pier labels for the Shear walls
Go to Assign > Shell assignment > Pier label
Create Pier labels and assign them
P1,P2,P3,P4,P5,P6 for 6 shear walls
Define Diaphragm
for the slab to get as combined structure with Beams and columns
Assign Diaphragm for all the floors
View of Diaphragm assignment
again create new load combinations
Now the Model for ERRORS
It is observed that there are no warnings and errors for the structure.
Now for the Precast structure it is obvious that all the joints of Beams and columns are Pinned
also the floors and walls are to be pinnedin each and every floor
so in ETABS Model it is necessary to make edge releases for all the joints
To create joints go to Assign > Shell assign > Edge releases
Selet the Floors,walls
To create joints go to Assign > Frame assign > Edge releases
Select the Joints of beams and columns
View of Pinned joints at all the floors,walls,Beam-column Joints
Now Analyse the Structure
Analyse > RUN Analysis
Select the Modal Participation factor for the analysis
Modal Participation Mass Ratios are observed for the Precast structure
The First Modal Participation Mass Ratio has Time period = 0.764 and Reaction in X direction = 0.6952 = 69%
The Second Modal Participation Mass Ratio has Time period = 0.552 and Reaction in Y direction = 0.6436 = 64%
The Third Modal Participation Mass Ratio has Time period = 0.368 and Reaction in Z direction = 0.6689 = 66%
The Participation mass ratios are observed in the certain range that is permissible with the Time period for
Zone 2 Building
Also the Difference between the Modal mass ratios is also in the range with the difference of approximate 5 %
The structure is very much stable for the first two modal participation ratios but the third modal ratio need to be some enhanced.
View of the Results:
Displacement results for the Model
Dead load = 1.75mm (Maximum and Minimum)
Live load =0.4mm (Maximum and Minimum)
Brick wall load = 1.6mm Maximum

Maximum story Shear for Brick wall in EQ X- = -430 KN
Maximum story Shear for Brick wall in EQ Y+ = -600 KN
Maximum story Shear for Brick wall in EQ Y- = -600 KN

Maximum story response SPEC-Y
Scaling of Base shear for conversion of Equivalent Lateral Force Method to Modal Response Spectrum Analysis Method (MRSA)
Standard scale factor in ETABS = 9806.65
The scale factor purpose is to match the Values of ELF method and MRSA method.
Scale Factor for SPEC X = (430.9361/6491.1475)*9806.65 = 651.046
Scale Factor for SPEC Y = (602.0431/6093.6457)*9806.65 = 968.88
Scale factor Multiplier for SPEC X = 651.046
Scale factor Multiplier for SPEC Y = 968.88
It is observed the Final scale of this MRSA method match with the ELF method
Story Shear achieved after calculation with scale factor SPEC X = 440 KN
Story Shear achieved after calculation with scale factor SPEC Y = 620 KN
