Abstract: This paper describes the salient features of ETABS (i.e., Extended Three Dimensional Analysis of Building Systems) and its various applications in civil engineering. In this software the designer will be able to generate the geometry, define the boundary conditions, assign material properties, specify the loads and perform the analysis all conveniently and quickly. It helps in understanding the overall behaviour of the structure in terms of resulting bending moment, shear forces and deformations which can be viewed or plotted.
This paper also presents illustration of a comparitive study of static loads for 5 and 10 storey multi storeyed structures. The significance of this work is to estimate the design loads of a structure.
Keywords: ETABS, Bending moment, shear force.
