ETABS CABABILITIES Construction sequence analysis.

Push over analysis.

Shear wall design.

Live load reduction for upper floors.

Earthquake forces can be applied in anu angle (not just X and Y alone)

Modeling tapered concrete beams.

Floor load for irregular panels, that is easy to do.

Design of columns with cross section of any arbitary shape (including Y, L, +)

Diaphragm action.(with earthquake loads and wind loads automatically applied on the diaphragm centre) Automatic lumping of masses for earthquake .

Choice of Eigen or Ritz vector for Response spectrum analysis.

Auto calculation of beam reinforcements based on moments at column face, rather than at column centre line and column reinforcements based on moments at beam soffit, rather than at beam centre line.

Rigid Panel zone modifier.

Facility for design as per IS 13920 (Ductile drtailing) Additional software for foundation design especially mat (SAFE software).

Not support for sloping roofs.

ETABS uses matrix method of structural analysis.

(Staad also uses Matrix method of structural analysis & FEA for plates.

3D rendering in ETABS:

Go to view menu ( Select set building view options. In first column button, check Extrusion and object fill.

Disadvantages :

ETABS can not generate floor loads. You have to model slabs as plate element & mesh it and apply floor loads on it. Otherwise modeling and rebar detailing is far easier in ETABS.ETABS documentation gives no details of the solver it uses other than referring to it as standard solver.

ETABS TIPS *****

1. Analysis options :

ETABS has many analysis option which includes

- P delta analysis .

- Dynamic analysis

- Eigen vectors analysis.
