We chose the Use With Built- in Settings option in the Display SI Metric units choose the option to make the units of the International System of Units, and click on OK.

2.1. AXES AND LEVELS "D ime n sio Grid n s (Plan)" In the direction "X" and "Y" have eight nine axes respectively, these values are entered in "Number Line X Direction" and "Number Line Y Direction". The spacing in both directions we let in seven eight respectivamenet, then we can edit their respective distances. Then select "Custom Grid Spacing". "S t o r s D imen sion" The number of levels you specify in "Number of Stories" in our case six. In "Typical Story Height" entered the value of three, which is the height that occurs in

higher levels. In "Bottom Story Height" we write the value of the height of the first level. Then select "Custom Story data".

The next step is to edit the axes in the "X" addresses and "Y", or as we call the grid model. We click on "Edit Grid", to edit distances of the axes, which we will in the dialog "Define Grid Data". On the right side in "Displays Grid as" we have two options to edit the separations between axes. By default distances are presented cumulative (option "Ordinates"), but more convenient is to work with wheelbases, as we face in the plans, so select the "Spacing" option. We entered the wheelbases in the "X" addresses and "Y". With the various options for the axes, we can tell the program that we are hidden, its location is to the left or right or up or down, if we wish to be considered as secondary axes, and also the names of each axis. Once the changes we click on the OK button to accept the changes.

2.3. Sections for columns and beams Once you have defined a new material, we proceed to define the sections that will be used in the model, such as columns and beams. The Etabs allows us to define these elements with objects "Frame". In the model we draw 3 types of columns, we will define the C1 column. We enter the "Define / Section Properties / Frame Sections" menu, once in the "Frame Properties" box on the "Click To" section, and click on Add New Properties.

In the Frame Shape Property Type window, go to Section Shape and choose the option box rectangular concrete.

We chose the option marked with red and we will automatically open the form to define a new rectangular section. Should choose as a material which we have

defined in the previous step, once introduced the dimensions of the C1 (0.30 mx 0.30 m) column, click on the Modify / Show button Rebar

When we have the box "Reinforcement Data" dialog, verify that "Design Type" "Column" is selected, the configuration of the reinforcement is rectangular ("Configuration of Reinforcement"), choosing a setting in a circular reinforcement option of stirrups is activated spiral, "Cover to Rebar Center" entered the value of the coating (in this Model 5 cm) in "Check / Design" we are asked whether you want that the program design us section or review us a given configuration. Once the changes we click on the button, to return to the previous dialog.

UNPRG

Page 17


Civilax.com

Now click on the button and we will have completed the creation of the C1 column. Similarly one proceeds with the creation of the columns C2 and C3. In the case of the beams, two types will be taken. The V101 beam will have a section 0.30 mx 0.50 m, and use it in the "X" direction; we will use the V102 beam in the direction "Y" and will have the dimensions 0.25 mx 0.40 m. To create the two types of sections for the beams we proceed similarly to how it did so with columns. The variation is that when you need to define the data and form of reinforcement, clicking on Modify / Show Rebar, in "Design Type" we must select "Beam", we see that the change to a design section and beam The table also changes. In "Concrete Cover to Rebar Center" entered the values of the coating, 6 cm. Clicking on, accept the change of type of design section.

UNPRG

4) RESTRICTIONS AND FINITE ELEMENT 4.1. Restriction mapping When you draw the columns, we see that in the Z = 0 level, the program automatically draws support in the bases, but you need to make changes to these supports. The supports on the base are commonly modeled as props wardrobes. To change the type of support you have to work with the support points with vertical elements in the base. All points are selected and through the "Assign / Joint / Restraints" menu assign the media type you want. In the "Assings Restraints" box you can select if you want to make restrictions on movement or rotation of the supports.

As we want to model supports with perfectly embedded hypothesis, simply select the six constraints.

4.2. Assigning Irises Trucks The model for concentrated loads in the mezzanine allows us to calculate assumption that all points on a given level have the same displacement. Then we assign rigid diaphragms model. The Etabs to assign rigid points mezzanine slabs or diaphragms. Slabs selected model and enter the "ASSIGNS / Shell Area / Diaphragms" menu. By default the program shows the "D1" and created which is a rigid diaphragm. We can add a different aperture for each level or use one type for the entire model.

We click on Apply and returning to the main screen we will present the mass centers where mass is concentrated for seismic calculation.

4.3. Assignment of Finite Element Mesh The finite element method is an approximate method for structural analysis, to smaller dimensions of the elements better accuracy. Can not recommend the size of these elements, since the process of going remallando into smaller overload the computer elements and takes longer to run. The calculation process is iterative in which you need to measure the error and convergence proposed values to reach these values it is assumed that the model has good accuracy, then we can not say if the elements are of a meter has a good approximation.  For slabs: We select all the tiles from the first to the fifth floor doing just click on them and we will assign / Shell / Auto Mesh Floor Options

Mesh Object Into activate the option and place a mesh elements 4 x 4, thus creating our mesh finite slab elements. Note that elements placed 4x4 heavy not to return the program and not suffer further lags when modeling the structure.

5) LOADS OF GRAVITY, SEISMIC ANALYSIS STATIC AND DYNAMIC 5.1. Assigning Static Loads The loads own weight of structural elements that provide rigidity to the system, finishes, mobile partitions, overloads, as the design standards combined with factors majorization. It is the reason for different load cases are taken. To define the load cases entered by the "Define / Load Patterns" menu. By default the program defines two types of goods: "DEAD" where all loads from the structural elements that can be drawn on the Etabs, "LIVE" that will serve to overload will accrue.

In the "Define Load Patterns" table, we see that the load cases are organized types. The value must enter the "Self Weight Multiplier" column for the case "DEAD" is one, this indicates to the program in that case load weights of structural elements that can be drawn are entered, considering in For loads "LIVE" a value of one program in this case will deliver the weight of structural elements, is the reason why only a load case should be assigned a value of one (100% by weight of elements), otherwise we would be doubling the weight, unless for some reason or regulation is need to consider a combination of own weight in other load cases. In addition to considering loads, live loads added two more with the names of LIVE 1 and LIVE 2, for alternating loads on slabs and thus achieve maximum efforts.



Civilax.com

5.2. Static Seismic Analysis For the method of Equivalent Horizontal Forces we define four load cases as the eccentricity of the applied forces can be positive or negative, for each direction of analysis have two cases. Just as in cases of dead loads and overloads on rooftops, first entered a name the first call "SISMOXXPOS" in "Type" choose "SEISMIC" when choosing this type is a side load, we unlock the column "Lateral Auto Load" and select "User coeficients." Then click the Add New Load to add the event of an earthquake in the direction "X" with a positive eccentricity. We click on Modify Lateral Load to edit this load case. In the "User Defined Seismic Loading" box, we chose the "Direction and Eccentricity" section; in "Ecc. Ratio (. All DIAPH) verify that the value is 0.05 (5%) to calculate the eccentricity; in the "Factors" section under "Base Shear Coefficient, C" entered the peak value of the acceleration, which in our case is 0.2333g, the value of "Build Height Exp. K" we let one since the distribution of seismic forces will have a linear variation. We click on and we will have edited the first seismic cases for static analysis. The distribution of forces in the mezzanines and the value of "K" can be seen in the following figure:

The remaining three cases are performed in the same way, you should take into account the direction and eccentricity for each case and the value in "Base Shear Coefficient, C" of 0.2333g.



Civilax.com

The four cases for static analysis by equivalent forces would be as follows:

EARTHQUAKE

XX POS EARTHQUAKE XX NEG

EARTHQUAKE YY POS

EARTHQUAKE YY NEG



Civilax.com

We click on OK and our burdens have been created. 5.3. Load allocation In this model only distributed loads applied to slabs mezzanines are presented. The sum of the loads is indicated in the following table:

1st level 2nd level 3rd level 4th level 5th level

DEAD 250 kg / cm2 250 kg / cm2 250 kg / cm2 250 kg / cm2 100 kg / cm2

LIVE 200 kg / cm2 200 kg / cm2 200 kg / cm2 200 kg / cm2 100 kg / cm2

Select the slab fifth level, using the "Assign / Shell Load / Uniform" menu you can enter values for each load case. We enter the value of the dead load on the fifth level, the "Load Pattern Name" section of "Shell Asignament-Uniform Load" select "Dead" box, review the units and the "Uniform Load" section entered the value of 0.25 "Load" in "Direction" verify it "Gravity" so that loads are applied in the direction of gravity ("Z"). We click on OK and we will have introduced dead loads on the fifth level, in the same way the rest of loads in their cases are entered.



Civilax.com

The Etabs as entering charges go, allow us to display the value thereof.

For the fifth level, as you no longer have partitions on it, due to the architectural model, the dead load changes from 0.25 t / m2 to 0.10 t / m2.Por so select slabs fifth level in one story and follow the steps above to assign the load, except change in the load box value from 0.25 to 0.10, giving and taking click OK and all our dead loads on the structure.



Civilax.com

For live loads the same procedure explained to dead load is followed.

In the case of alternating loads, the slabs are selected grid layout and charges like the procedure for allocating dead loads are allocated by changing the load DEAD loads LIVE LIVE 1 and 2, respectively.



Civilax.com

Fig-selection for floor slabs grid layout



Civilax.com

Fig-1 charges LIVE assigned grid layout. The same procedure is performed for loads LIVE 2. 5.3. Calculation of the mass of the building for Static and Dynamic Analysis The Etabs makes the calculation of different load cases, but according to the rules Seismic Design, load cases with participation rates are taken. For NTE E-030, has the following requirements:

For the model consider 100% of the dead load ("DEAD and 25% of the live loads (" LIVE ")



Civilax.com

To assign these percentages for calculating the Etabs entered using the Define / Mass Source menu. In "dialog box choose the Define Mass Source Specified Load Patterns option and add the combination Structure weight = 100% + 25% DEAD LIVE From as follows:

We click OK and the program will already have calculated the weight of the building, which will serve to calculate static and dynamic seismic forces. 5.4. Dynamic seismic analysis Incorporating Spectrum Design strictly obeys the implementation of Article 18.2 . in the item b, which depends on several factors, such as shown in formula: = / = Is the area factor, which is found in Table No. 1 of the E.030. For purposes in this example, it was assumed that the building will be built in Lambayeque, then:

The following table shows:

In the Load option Case / Load Comb choose the combination displacements and drifts floor observe corrected by the value 0.75R, which are shown below.

Compared with the value of the standard E.030 Earthquake Resistant Design, which says that the maximum drift floor is 0.007, so that our structure meets the allowable displacement and pass the design stage. By observing the displacements in the drift option, these are higher than the norm and therefore must be corrected structuring increasing the lengths of the shear walls or other structural elements.

To change this model to the following structure is proposed: Added walls in the stairwell and the column was changed to 0.40 x 0.40 m

The following displacement, the new structure will have:
