Project:Check List for ETABS Model

Step-1:- Data recquired. The Data shall be latest as on date

Architectural drawing for basement
Structural drawing for basement
Architectural drawing for typical floor
Structural drawing for typical floor
Final ETABS model
Structural Design Basis Report
Step-2:- Match Architectural & Structural Drawings with ETABS by making DXF file.
Match column locations and orientations with structural drawings.
Match beam locations with structural drawings.
Match retaining wall locations with structural drawings.
Chech whether Nontower area is to be modeled with building or not
Step-3:- ETABS Model.

Step-7:-

Check mode shapes (1st and 2nd mode translational; 3rd mode tortional)

Step-8:-

check Centre of mass and centre of rigidity

Step-9:-

check Storey Drift

Step-10:-

check maximum drift at any floor is exceeding 1.2 times average drift or not

Step-11:-

Design- Start Concrete Design

Step-12:-

Check Column design reinforcement exceeds 3%

Change Column size and repeat steps 1 to 10.

Step-13:-

For Shear Walls

Check shear wall design reinforcement exceeds 3%
Check whether design reinforcement can be acomodated in section
Change shear wall size and repeat steps 1 to 10.

Step-14:Step-15:-

Check Beams for failure

If model is ok, approve the model.
