General Notes.
- ShellUse general for element on 3d" means that both in-plane membrane
stiffness and out-of-plane plate bending stiffness are provided for the section".
- Membrane"means that only in-plane membrane stiffness is provided for the

section" Such as Walls.
- Plate." means that only out-of-plane plate bending stiffness is provided for the
section" Such as Slabs and Raft in 2d only.
- Thick Plate."use if the thickness is huge thickness".

- If drv = 0.4*h*Max. Drift < 0.005*hOk Safe
And if not increase S.W. Dim. Or add more S.W. or Core ..and Run again and Check Drift

- After we finally achieved Etabs checks we must turn to Column design.
-Take Col. Straining action and Design Column in CSI Or PCI program or Exel Sheet
- Design Core and Shear walls also CSI Or PCI program or Exel Sheet
- Design Raft either export Base Straining action Slab to Safe Prog. Or take Straining action
of Col. And Core and S.W and fly to Sap Prog. And Design Raft..
Now; Finally We Finished Etabs Learning..

With my Best Wishes,.
