Software Based Analysis, Design and Modeling of a Multistory Building

Abstract

Analysis design and modeling of a multistory structure is a design-oriented project. The aim of this project was Structural design and detailing of multi-story residential/commercial building using essential civil engineering software. The First software used was AUTOCAD. It was used to have a layout of the building including all the architectural maps and all the components of building which were to be assigned. ETABs was used for the analysis and design of the building. First the grid was assigned and then all the components were defined. The live load and dead load was calculated and then all the components were assigned. Finally analysis and design was done and the loads were collected which then were to be applied on the foundation for its design. The codes (name of codes) were used as a reference material for design. All the detailing was done using CSI details and finally the foundation was designed using CSI SAFE.
