Select the base of building and assign it the Fixed Support.

Page | 22
Assign Loads

There are two types of loads. Frame loads [Wall Load] and Shell loads [Live/Partition
Wall/ Snow/Floor Finish loads].

Page | 23
❖ Assigning of Frame Loads:

On main taskbar click on Assign and Frame loads and select the Distributed. New box
is opened as shown below. Select the Wall loads in Load Pattern Name, keeping in
view that the height of bottom, i.e., 10ft is different from the other Floors, i.e, 12 ft For
Outer Walls of Floors other than bottom Floor:

Uniform Load= Height of Wall* Thickness of Wall* Density of bricks

=12*0.75*0.125=1.125kip/ft. for Outer

Walls for Partition walls of Floors other than bottom
Floor:
Uniform Load= Height of Wall* Thickness of Wall* Density of bricks

=12*0.375*0.125=0.563kip/ft for
Outer Walls of Bottom Floor:
Uniform Load= Height of Wall* Thickness of Wall* Density of bricks

=10*0.75*0.125=0.938 kip/ft For Outer

Walls For Partition walls of Bottom Floor:
Uniform Load= Height of Wall* Thickness of Wall* Density of bricks
=10*0.375*0.125= 0.469kip/ft

Firstly, select the outer wall, put value of uniform load. Same as select all inner walls of
the Floors , put values and then click on apply. Wall loads are shown below.

First of all perform the procedure for storey 1 as its height is 10 ft which is different from
other floor heights of 12 ft.For this purpose choose “one storey” from bottom and go to
Floor 1.Then start assigning that floor its Frame Loads.

Page | 24
Page | 25
After assigning Wall Loads and Partitian Wall Loads , apply dead loads on Floor 1 by
selecting all columns of this floor and then selecting all beams of this Floor and by
assigning them Load values.Then click “Apply”
Dead loads on columns and beams in Frames =2*1.5*1*150=0.45 kip/ft

Page | 26
Repeat the whole Procedure for ‘Other Floors’ with Outer and Partition Walls Loads as
calculated above (i.e, the ones with calculations of 12 ft height)
Then go to ‘Display Frame Loads Assigns’ . A window with ‘Show Frame Loads’ appears ,
check all the Frame loads assigned earlier one by one by clicking ‘OK’ by following same
procedure for all.

Page | 27
Page | 28
❖ Assigning of Shell Loads:
On main taskbar click on Assign and go to Shell Loads and click on Uniform. It shows the new
dialog box as shown Below. Change the load name pattern and value according to the Codes

According to the Table 1-4 in Hibblers book live load for residential building is
generally 40 psf.

Page | 29
Snow Load:
Snow load depends upon the snow depth of that area and other factors. In our case we will
use 40 psf.It should only be applied at the top floor which is #10 in my case.So go to 10th
Floor and apply Snow Load.

Page | 30
Floor Finish Load:

According to the IS-875[part 1] the floor finish for residential building is range from
1.92.9KN/m^2.We take 2.9 KN/m^2 for exterior Balconies and for others we take their
value as 1.9 KN/m^2.Even we have no exterior Balconies I will take 2.5KN/m^2[52.2
psf] keeping in view factor of safety and other considerations.

11. Assign Diaphragm:

On the main Taskbar click “Assign” and go to “Joints”
and click on “Diaphram”.It shows a new Dialog
box.Select the area of Building and then apply the
respective Diaphram.

 Assignment # 04
 Based On DDM/Strip Design:
 Strip Width Calculation:
For the Design of slabs on the basis of DDM we have to first calculate the Width of Column
and Middle Strip, as we know that:

As the Column strip width in each side=.25L1 or .25L2 (whichever is smaller)

Hence the Column strip width in each side
 Column strip width in each side =calculate by multiplying .25 with shorter
length
 And the Width of Middle strip= Total C/C length of E.R.F – Column Strip width
As the length of E.R.F is different in both axis/direction,
 The width of middle strips in x axis = 4.75’
 The width of middle strips in x axis = 4.75’ Design Steps:
Now Unlock The model to remove or delete the previous analysis and design results and to
continue the DDM based design or strip design.

Page | 47
Now select the similar stories option in the bottom tab and then click on Draw Design Strip icon
in the left most tab to draw the Column and middle Strips.

Page | 48
Now Press Ctrl+W and select the following options from the popup menu to Display the design
strip width.

Now Input data as Shown to draw the Respective Column and Middle Strips in both directions as
shown. And then left click on the starting point of the strip and then left click on the ending point
of the strip and then Press Enter. Use snap option to easily draw the strips

 Structural Drawing & Detailing

CSi Detailing Drawing:

As the CSi Detailing software need strips designed to draw the detail drawing of the
slab we will analyze the structure first by strip design method and then create the CSi
detailing drawing. As we have already designed the structure once with strip design
method or DDM we will simply continue with the CSi Detailing steps to generate the
drawing file.

Firstly save the model and close the Etabs file.

Now Open the CSi detailing software.

Page | 68
Now go to File and Click on New Detailing.

Click on Open Etabs File and select the file whose detailing is to be carried out and then
click ok.

Page | 69
Now the Etabs file will be opened automatically for extracting data.

Page | 70
Make some fine adjustments such as change the preferred bars for slabs etc. as per
requirements. And select preferences as ACI 318-14.

Many other change can be made but for this task let us use most of the default built in settings.
Simply click on OK.

Page | 71
Now go to the Drawing options as simply click on Export Drawings.

Now Input the location for saving multiple drawing sheets generated and then click on OK.

Then combine different file to create a single autocad file and save it.
