DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDING (C+G+5) using
E-Tabs
Abstract: The main steps of any building construction and planning is drafting, analysing and
designing the building. In the present days of improving science and technology, analysing and
designing of a building has been made easy by using ETABS software. ETABS software helps
civil engineers to make their work easy and decreases time necessary for planning.
The project going to be done is design of a multi-storey building which is going to be
used as a residential. The building plan has been drafted using the AutoCAD software by the
requirement and available area. The super structure i.e. the building frame has been analysed and
designed using the ETABS software.
In the present project C+G+5 building consider to analysis and design for gravity and
lateral (wind and earth quake) loads as per Indian standards.
By using the software building can be analysed and we can check for any failures in the
analysis and redesign them, so that we can prevent failures after construction. By using the
output building can be constructed according to the design.
Keywords: Building, Wind and Earth quake, ETABS.
