Seismic Calculations for UBC 1997 Static Process for Regular Buildings Dear ETABS users, this is coolest

bliss and in this tutorial we will solve an example by UBC method and then well compare it with ETABS. Remember, it is a very simple example, just to clear the concepts of ETABS new users. In the following pages, you will see some pictures and notes. Want more? Join CIVILEA group! & visit my blog To understand this example, you will need at hand following things:1- UBC Seismic Calculation Sheet; CB Seis Ver 2.0 Download it. Excel-2007 Format or Excel-2003 Format If you want Visual Basic .EXE file download it from here. 2- UBC-97 Code (Chapter 16) 3- ETABS (Version 9.5.0) And of course, A GOOD BRAIN.:-)

We will make a model with these parameters.

*2D model in XZ *24ft wide bay *12ft high four storeys

*Start a new model. *Units kip-ft *4 Storeys *Each storey 12ft high *Grid Only

24x24 Bays

2-Select beam option

5-Draw 2 columns here.

4-Select draw column option

3-Draw beam from grid B to grid C as shown

1-Change this to ALL STORIES

1-Select elevation shortcut.

2-Goto Elevation 3

Select this line and delete.

Goto this option

Make self weight multiplier "ZERO" to neglect self weights.

Select MASS SOURCE OPTION

1-Select "FROM LOADS" because we will not put any additional mass in this example and no self weight...We will only put DL and LL so select this option.

2-Enter these values because we want our seismic weight W = 100% DL + 25% LL (See UBC code)

Select all 4 lines to apply load

"4 LINES SELECTED"

we will put UDL

Put 2 kip/ft as DL towards GRAVITY. Other values should be as shown.

GET PREVIOUS SELECTION

Dead Load = 2kip/ft

Keep all other options same as that of DL in previous step and put 1 kip/ft as LIVE LOAD

Goto DEFINE>STATIC LOAD CASES and define two new cases as 1-EQX as QUAKE according to UBC 97 and 2-EQY as QUAKE according to UBC 97

For EQX put all values as shown in form

Similarly for EQY...everything same, except the direction.... (YOU CAN EVEN OMIT THIS EQY LOAD CASE because we will run our model as 2D only in XZ direction.

Our model coordinates... XY...as 2D

Click set analysis option

UNCHECK DYNAMIC & PDELTA OPTIONS..

Select XZ Plane

SAVE YOUR MODEL

RUN ANALYSIS

DEFLECTED SHAPE IN EQX 1-UNITS should be Kip-ft

2-Click show tables

Select STORY SHEARS

Before going to next step. Fill all the data in this sheet

Note storey shears For each storey DL = 2x24 = 48 KIP and LL = 1x24 = 24 KIP

12 ft

Note these two values

Check DL and LL is same as you put in excel sheet. Forget about TOP & BOTTOM location.. they are same in this example

On the bottom storey (Storey-1, see DL=192 and LL=96) same as in excel sheet.

compare THICK RED CIRCLE storey shears with excel sheet...storey shear...they are same!

Display>Story Response Plots

Compare!

Check story shear this time

Show reactions for EQX

Display>Show Loads>Joint/ Points>select EQx.... compare with previous page

This time...check storey moment with EXCEL SHEET

Value of DELTA S. you have to put this value in excel sheet

Story drift ratio = Story drift / Story Height

1-Right click on joint

This is the value of delta S.

This is the value of story drift ratio

Input data printed from excel sheet
