ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF COMMERCIAL BUILDING USING ETABS

Structural Analysisis a branch which involvesin the determination of behaviour of structures in order to predict the responses of different structural components due to effect of loads. Each and every structure will be subjected to either one or the groups of loads, the various kinds of loads normally considered are dead load, live load, earth quake load and wind load. ETABS (Extended Three Dimensional Analysis of Building System) is a software which is incorporated with all the major analysis engines that is static, dynamic, Linear and non-linear, etc. 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. Our project “Analysis and Design of Commercial building using ETABS software” is an attempt to analyze and design a commercial building using ETABS. Analysis is carried out by static method and design is done as per IS 456:2000 guidelines. Also an attempt has been made to design the structural elements manually.
