G+21 STOREY BUILDING IN ETABS

Welcome to this comprehensive, step-by-step tutorial where I demonstrate the complete process of modeling, analyzing, and designing a G+21 (Ground + 21 Floors) high-rise building in ETABS. Whether you’re a civil engineering student, a structural design professional, or someone preparing for practical site work, this in-depth guide covers it all, from basics to advanced troubleshooting.

What You Will Learn in This Video
Full 1.5-hour walkthrough of ETABS for high-rise structures using advanced codes and materials.

Project Overview:

Building Type: G+21 multi-story RCC structure

Concrete Grade: M40

Steel Grade: Fe500

ETABS Modeling:

Creating grid and story data structures for a 21-floor building.

Adding structural components: beams, columns, and slabs.

Assigning supports and fixities for strict boundary conditions.

Common mistakes in modeling and how to check/correct them for error-free analysis.

Loading Definition:

Stepwise demonstration of defining and applying all crucial load patterns:

Dead Load

Live Load

Wall Load

Floor Finish

Ceiling Plaster

More—custom loads as per real-world scenarios

Coming Soon: Earthquake & wind load definition/analysis (stay tuned for the next video!)

Load Combinations:

As per latest IS code for multi-story structures.

Analysis Workflow:

Key checks performed:

Deflection limits

Axial load distribution

Shear force and bending moment diagrams

Support reactions

Design Process:

Defining & assigning design load combinations

Running Auto-Design and Design Check

Spotting and resolving failed members efficiently

Real engineering troubleshooting: revising column sizes for economic and code-safe solutions.

Iterative analysis for optimizing lower-story (critical) column sections.

Final solution: detailed change log from 450×500mm to 500×600mm column sizes to ensure all members pass.

Verification and Finalization:

Ensuring the model meets safety, serviceability, and code compliance, with every step explained

Practical Engineering Tips:

Interpreting analysis output for real project preparation.

Understanding why certain members fail and how to fix them smartly.
