Click on OK to confirm to unlock the model and delete all analysis results
Note: ETABS has locked the model automatically from previous analysis. Model
has to be unlocked first before do any modification by clicking on Unlock
Model button
. ETABS will delete all analysis and design results after
unlock.

Note:
1. Output time step size should be set such a way that the peak amplitude
points on the time history function are not missed. (0.1 sec for this example)
2. Because the values along Y axis of time history function as specified in step
3 are normalized by ground acceleration (g), the scale factor will be value of
g (9.81 in metric unit).
3. This scale factor can also be used to increase or decrease the time history
magnitude for difference soil condition, site locationetc.
4. Total analysis time = Total time history function + 5 time of building period in
first mode (for damping = 0.05).
= 12 + 5 x 1.2 = 18 sec
5. Number of output time steps = Total analysis time / Output time step size

5. If you want to use any design load combinations other than the default
ones created by ETABS for your shear wall design then click the Design
menu > Shear Wall Design > Select Design Combo command. Note
that you must have already created your own design combos by clicking
the Define menu > Load Combinations command.
6. Click the Design menu > Shear Wall Design > Start Design/Check of
Structure command to run the shear wall design.
7. Review the shear wall design results. To do this you might do one of the
following:
a. Click the Design menu > Shear Wall Design > Display Design
Info command to display design information on the model.
b. Right click on a pier or spandrel while the design results are
displayed on it to enter the interactive wall design mode. Note
that while you are in this mode you can revise overwrites and
immediately see the new design results.
If you are not currently displaying design results you can click the
Design menu > Shear Wall Design > Interactive Wall Design
command and then right click a pier or spandrel to enter the interactive
design mode for that element.
1. Use the File menu > Print Tables > Shear Wall Design command to
print shear wall design data. If you select a few piers or spandrels before
using this command then data is printed only for the selected elements.
2. If desired, revise the wall pier and/or spandrel overwrites, rerun the shear
wall design, and review the results again. Repeat this step as many
times as needed.
3. If desired, create wall pier check sections with user-defined (actual)
reinforcing specified for the wall piers using the Section Designer utility.
Use the Design menu > Shear Wall Design > Define Pier Sections for
Checking command to define the sections in Section Designer. Be sure
to indicate that the reinforcing is to be checked. Use the Design menu >
Shear Wall Design > Assign Pier Sections for Checking command to
assign these sections to the piers. Rerun the design and verify that the
actual flexural reinforcing provided is adequate.

4. Assign these check sections to the piers, change the pier mode from
Design to Check, and rerun the design. Verify that the actual flexural
reinforcing provided is adequate.
5. If necessary, revise the geometry or reinforcing and rerun the design.
6. Print or display selected shear wall design results if desired.
Note that shear wall design is performed as an iterative process. You
can change your wall design dimensions and reinforcing during the
design process without rerunning the analysis. However, you always
want to be sure that your final design is based on analysis properties
(wall dimensions) that are consistent with your design (actual) wall
dimensions.
