Comparison of Earthquake Analysis Results of a Structure using ETABS Software and Manual Calculation

ETABS (Extended Three-dimensional Analysis of Building Systems) is the present-day leading software for analysis and design of buildings especially Reinforced cement concrete buildings. Many design companies are using this software for their projects. This project mainly deals with the comparison of the lateral loads to stories obtained from manual calculation and from the analysis on ETABS of a 10-story building. Analysis is carried out by equivalent static analysis method as per IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002 guidelines. For the analysis of the structure, the dead load and live load are considered. Further lateral loads to stories are determined on each story and compared to the loads obtained from the manual calculation.
