Step by Step
1. Start Model with Template
Step 1-1: Select Working Unit and Start New Model using Template
Start up screen of ETABS, select working unit to be ton-m at drop-down menu on
the bottom-right of screen and click on New Model button to start new model
using template
Note: Click the Default.edb button. This means that the definitions and
preferences will be initialized (get their initial values) from the Default.edb file that is
in the same directory as your ETABS.exe file. If the Default.edb file does not exist in
this directory then the definitions and preferences are initialized using ETABS built-in
defaults.
You should create your Default.edb file such that you most commonly click this
button.
In some cases you may want to click the Choose.edb button and specify a different
file from which the definitions and preferences are to be initialized. For example, a
certain client or project may require certain things in your model to be done in a
certain way that is different from your typical office standards. You could have a
specific .edb file set up for this client or project which could then be used to initialize
all models for the client or project. This will allow setting of the repeatedly used
preferences.
Click the No button if you just want to use the built-in ETABS defaults.

Step 5-2: Define Special Seismic Load Effects

Go to Define >> Special Seismic Load Effects, and enter the parameters to
consider in special seismic design as shown in the figure below.
E = Eh + Ev (30-1)
Em = 0 Eh (30-2)
E = the earthquake load on an element of the structure resulting
from the combination of the horizontal component, Eh, and the
vertical component Ev
Eh = the earthquake load due to the base shear, V, as set forth in
Section 1630.2 or the design lateral force, Fp, as set forth in
Section 1632
Ev = the load effect resulting from the vertical component of the
earthquake ground motion and is equal to an addition of 0.5 Ca
ID to the dead load effect, D, for Strength Design, and may be
taken as zero for Allowable Stress Design
In this case Ca = 0.22, 0.5 Ca I = 0.5 x 0.22 x 1 = 0.11
0 = the seismic force amplification factor that is required to account
for structural overstrength, as set forth in Section 1630.3.1
57/83
ACECOMS, AIT
= Reliability/Redundancy Factor as given by the following formula

= 2 20 / (rmax x sqrt(AB)) (30-3)
= 2 6.1 / (rmax x sqrt(AB)) (For SI)
rmax = the maximum element-story shear ratio. For a given direction of
loading, the element-story shear ratio is the ratio of the design
story shear in the most heavily loaded single element divided by
the total design story shear. For any given Story Level i, the
element story shear ratio is denoted as ri. The maximum
element-story shear ratio rmax is defined as the largest of the
element story shear ratios, ri, which occurs in any of the story
levels at or below the two-thirds height level of building.

14. Check Story Drift

P- Effects
In general, P- effects need not be considered when the stability coefficient ()
defined as the ratio of secondary moments to primary moments, is less than or equal
to 0.1. The stability coefficient () for a given story can be computed from the
following equation:
= Px / (Vx hsx)
Px = total unfactored gravity load at and above level x
= seismic story drift
Vx = seismic shear force between levels x and x-1
hsx = story height below level x
From ETABS,
/ hsx is extracted from diaphragm drift of ETABS results.
Px is extracted by section cut.
V is extracted from story shear.
Compute and if < 1, P- effects needs not be considered.
In Seismic Zones 3 and 4, P- effects need not be considered when the story drift ()
is less than or equal to 0.02hsx / R.
Story Drift Limitations
According to 1630.10, story drifts shall be computed using the maximum inelastic
response displacement (M), which is an approximation of the displacement that
occurs when the structure is subjected to the design basis ground motion:
M = 0.7 R S
S is the design level response displacements.
For structures with a fundamental period (T) less than 0.7 seconds, the calculated
story drift using M shall not be exceed 0.025 times the story height. For structures
82/83
ACECOMS, AIT
with T greater than or equal to 0.7 seconds, the story drift shall not exceed 0.020
times the story height.
From ETABS,
Calculated story drift is determined by multiplying the diaphragm drift into 0.7 x R.
