DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF MULTISTOREY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING USING ETABS

The G+4 reinforced concrete residential building located in seismic zone V was successfully analysed and designed using ETABS for dead, live and seismic (static and response-spectrum) loads as per IS 875 and IS 1893:2002. Storey displacements and drifts were found to be within the permissible limits, and the shear force, bending moment, torsion and axial load results obtained from the software were consistent with expected structural behaviour, confirming the structure is safe for the considered loading. The study also demonstrates that ETABS considerably reduces the time and effort required for the analysis and design of multistorey buildings compared with manual methods, while allowing floors to be added or removed with ease during preliminary design iterations.
