The present work aims to serve as a guide to the professional and student of civil
Engineering and related fields for the correct use and analysis by computer using the
program ETABS version 2013.
Procedures have been established by means of steps and sequences to follow,
starting with the description of the structure including dimensions established by predimensioning and design criteria, and then perform the modeling of the full structure,
taking into account the criteria of modeling for a behavior closer to reality and to
proceed with the run of the analysis to determine the different initial parameters and
calculate properly the static shear at the base, known as the Lateral Force
Equivalent, FLE, in addition to the calculation of its distribution by floor. It is also a
procedure similar to the analysis that incorporates a design spectrum, called Modal
Analysis of Response Spectral, AMRE. Both procedures are performed considering all
the parameters set in the NTE E.030 of earthquake-resistant Design of Peru.
We performed manual calculations to verify the accuracy of the results obtained
with the program, which demonstrated the power of the program and the great
help that we have when he knows how to give a proper use and boundary
conditions recommended to the model.
This work has been done to be worked on with the tutorial videos posted and the
information contained in this manual will be updated and re-edited constantly so as
not to lose the value of academic and professional that you may have.

Manual Calculation with ETABS 2013
1.

INITIAL CONSIDERATIONS

It has established a regular structure that has course will have a use of shopping center,
which consists of 6 levels, with the ceiling of the top floor of any exclusive use.
The main structure resistant to lateral forces on the building will be exclusively built with
reinforced concrete, whose characteristic resistance to compression at 28 days is 280
Kg/cm2. It was anticipated that the first level has a height of 5.00mts, being the other
levels of 3.50mts height, in both cases considered from floor to floor.
The government drew up the building with columns and structural walls (plates), and are
defined then a system of structural Walls of concrete; the center of the building does not
have slab, as that will be occupied by metal ladders for access to each floor. The building
will be closing elements which consist of glass panels, so they are not considered to be their
weights during the analysis.
The configuration and arrangement of the structural elements in the plant is shown in Figure
1-1.

Figure 1-1. Plan view of the structural Configuration of the building.

It has been established that the columns will be of bxD = 50x50cm 2, the beams of
bxh = 30x60cm2, the walls of t = 30cm, by the structural configuration in which plant you
have, and the spaces shown are systems of ribbed slabs in one and two directions, whose
thicknesses are 35 cm and 30 cm, with separations from axle to axle of your joists of 40cm.

The Young's modulus of concrete, Ec, is calculated using the expression of section 8.5 of the
ACI 318 2011, where the units in Kg/cm2 are shown below:

= 15100 [ 2 ]

The shear modulus, Gc is calculated using the following relationship and is determined
automatically by the program.

3. DRAWING OF COLUMNS, WALLS, BEAMS AND SLABS
After you have defined the materials and all the sections of the structural elements is
appropriate to draw them. The tools for the quick drawing of the different structural
elements are shown in the left part of the screen of the program.

Figure 3-1. Toolbar for quick drawing of structural elements.

We'll start by drawing all the columns in the project, which according to Figure 1-1 van of
the way as indicated in Figure 3-3 is displayed, but not before mentioning that for our
elements are drawn in all the flats we have to use the option of Similar Stories located in
the bottom right that is shown in Figure 3-2.

Figure 3-2. Option of Drawing Similar Stories to draw on all floors.

Figure 3-3. Location of Columns.

Then we assign supports embedment perfect at the base of the columns, for this we are
going to the first level using the buttons

or also by clicking the button

select the base, as shown in Figure 3-4 and then click

, we

Figure 3-4. Selection of the Plane that we want to be.

Being already in the base of the building, we select the points where they are located in the
columns and go to the Assign command to assign restraints in supports, abutments perfect,
as shown in Figure 3-5. Then we accept this by clicking on

[14]

Shear Static and Dinamic at the Base

Figure 3-5. Allocation of Support Embedment Perfect to the columns.

We now return to the last level in the same way as we arrive to this level; now we'll draw
the walls with the help of the command

and we started to draw the walls with just

clicking on the part of the grid where we want to draw the wall. Then, this has to be so, as
shown in Figure 3-6.

Figure 3-6. Location of Walls.

Now, to draw the beams must select the command

, to draw the beams in a very similar
way as you did with the walls. Figure 3-7 shows the model with the beams already drawn.

[15]

Shear Static and Dinamic at the Base

Figure 3-7. Model of the Building with Beams placed.

The only thing that remains for us to draw are the slabs, we do this by using the command
that has the icon

, because it allows us to draw the slabs by means of two opposite points,

as indicated in Figure 3-8.

Figure 3-8. Drawing of Slabs by means of two opposite points.

Finally, the arrangement of the slabs shall be as indicated in Figure 3-9, ready for the
allocation of the loads that will act on the building.

4. CREATION AND ALLOCATION OF LOAD PATTERNS

The next step is the creation of the types of loads that will act on the building that are
defined by Load Patterns, for this we will continue using the Define command, so we will
continue the path Define/Load Patterns..., as shown in Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-1. Way to go to Definition of Load patterns.

Then it will open the window Define Load Patterns and create new Load patterns for each
type of load that we need for this project. The load patterns that we create are the
following:

[17]

Shear Static and Dinamic at the Base

Manual Calculation with ETABS 2013
o

Own Weight: Provided and calculated by the program, it will take the name Own
Weight and will be Dead; not be assigned to load with this pattern.

Dead Load:

Provided by the weight of elements and materials that are part of

the building, such as lighting, finishes, ceilings, finished floor, internal walls of
subdivision, etc. Your name will be CM, and will be of Type Super Dead
o

Live Floor Load: This is given by the moving components in the building, such as,
desks, tables and chairs, shelves, counters, us, etc. Your name will be Live and will
be of TypeReducible Live

Live Roof Load: Generally considered the weight of the people who will be involved
in the placement of the fixtures, finishes, placement of hedges and instruments.
Your name will be LiveUP and will be of Type Live

Then were created the load patterns according to the type of load as defined above and in
the Figure 4-2 shows the load patterns created.

Figure 4-2. Load patterns created, according to the definition.

Here we can also create a pattern of seismic load that will represent the static shear at the
base of the building and is calculated automatically. To do this we create a loading pattern
of the type Seismic called Sismo X, which we will represent the static shear in the X
Direction analysis, as well as shows.

Figure 4-3. Load patterns Seismic Static.

What we're missing is to tell the program that the pattern of seismic load that is created
is really oriented to the X-Direction, therefore, we will change this pattern of load by using

[18]

Shear Static and Dinamic at the Base

Manual Calculation with ETABS 2013
the button

that will open the window shown in Figure 4-4, which we

will configure in the manner as indicated. Then we accept everything that is created by using
the button

in all windows.

Figure 4-4. Definition of the Pattern of Seismic Load in X Direction.

Once we have created the patterns of load that we need for this project, we proceed to
assign the loads in accordance with the type of load that has. The values for each type of
load are listed in Table 4-1.

After this is performed the assignments of each load to all floors, as appropriate. Their
allocation to each floor is shown in the video.

5. WEIGHT SEISMIC EFFECTIVE ACCORDING TO THE NTE E.030
The Weight Seismic Effective of the building is determined in accordance with Article 16.3
of the NTE E.030 that is presented.

As the building will have use of a shopping centre, then, in accordance with Table N3 of the
NTE E. 030 Design earthquake-resistant, the category of building, which is of Type B. Then,
in accordance with the above, we must use the item a) of Article 16.3.

Such a way of formula, the Weight Seismic Cash of the Building, P, is determined as:
= ( + ) + . + .
In ETABS, the way to do this is by using the menu you Define via the command Mass
Source..., as shown in Figure 5-1. Then, in the Definition window of Mass Source we enter
the calculated data recently, as well as detailed in Figure 5-2.

The results and checks of the calculation of P will be verified at the end of the modeling
and run the analysis.

6. DESIGN SPECTRUM INCORPORATION
The Design Spectrum incorporation obeys strictly to the application of Article 18.2 in their
item b., which depends on several factors, such as shown in the formula:
=

= is the zone factor, which is found in the Table N1 of the E.030. For the purposes of
this example, it was assumed that the Building will be constructed in Cajamarca, then:

= .
= is the usage factor, depends on the category of the Building, in this case of Type B, and
in accordance with the Table N3 previously filed
= .
= it is the factor of soil, which has to do with the study of soils, and according to the local
conditions set forth in the Table N2, it was assumed for this example a soil type S3,
therefore,

= .
= is the coefficient of reduction of seismic force, which depends on the structural system
and the predominant material. As the greater part of the system is composed by walls, it
will start the analysis by considering that it is a system of Structural Walls, then,

[22]

Shear Static and Dinamic at the Base

Manual Calculation with ETABS 2013
= is the seismic amplification factor, which depends on the period of the Structure and
the Soil. As this value depends on a period of time T(s) and, the Design Spectrum is plotted
as a function of the time, then, you can generate a Table of Values of Sa/g - Time with Sa/g
dependent on C, then the Design Spectrum would be graphed as shown in Figure 6-1, for the
factors determined above:

7. AUTOMATIC CALCULATION OF SHEAR STATIC AT THE BASE
To determine the Shear static at the Base, V, of the Building, we have to resort to the
expression shown in the Article 17.3 below:
=

The description, location and values for each parameter are indicated in section 6 of
this text. In addition to this expression, the NTE E.030 indicates to us that the
expression:

0.125

The correct way to determine the Shear at the Base of the Building is the following:
1. Determine the Fundamental Period, T, of building.
In the program we can see the fundamental period, T, of the building using the Table Modal
Participating Mass Ratios, whose capture is shown in Figure 7-1.

Figure 7-1. Modal shapes, display of the Table of PPMM and Fundamental periods.

2. Calculate the value of Seismic Amplification Factor, C, in accordance with

the type of soil, using the expression of Article 7 of the E.030..

4. Determine the value of

= (0.4)(1.3)(1.4)(0.416667)

= 0.30333333

In the program, this data is entered in the window Define Load Patterns (Figure 4-3),
entering the value calculated in Base Shear Coefficient, C, as shown in Figure 4-4.
5. Calculate the Shear at the Base.
Making use of the expression indicated at the beginning of this section, we calculate the
Shear at the Base of the Building, but we first need to calculate the weight effective
seismic, which in the program is displayed using the Table Center of Mass and Rigidity
whose capture is shown in Figure 7-2.

Figure 7-2. Weights Seismic Effective of the Building.

Here we can see the weights seismic effective concentrated in the center of mass,
calculated for each floor and, due to which we assign a single diaphragm for all levels, in the
column of weights accumulated, we see the sum of the weights accumulated that come to
each floor, with the value of the Weight Seismic Cash of the Building equal to =
3 670 272 = 3 670.272 . Then, the shear at the Base of the Building will be:
= . . = . .

8. CALCULATION OF DYNAMIC SHEAR
To determine the Dynamic Shear, product of the spectral acceleration and her modal
shapes, applying combinations of modal and directional CQC and ABS. We follow the path
shown in Figure 8-1 and then will be opens the window, Load Cases where we can see the
load cases that we have generated, product of the loading patterns as defined in Item 4.

Figure 8-1. Path to Command Load Cases.

In this window we will generate the cases of Dynamic load-Type Response Spectrum, for
each direction of Analysis, whose definitions are shown in Figures 8-2 and 8-3.

Figure 8-2. Definition of the Case of Dynamic Load in the X Direction, EQ-XX.

[28]

Figure 8-3. Definition of the Case of Dynamic Load in the Y Direction, EQ-YY.

Then, we accept every case load generated by the button

, leaving the load cases

Static and Dynamic, as shown in Figure 8-4. After this, we ran the model and proceeded to
view the sharp Dynamic for Each Direction.

Figure 8-4. Load cases Static and Dynamic.

After having performed the analysis, it comes with the display of the Dynamic Shear using
Tables, being that we will use for this Table Story Forces as shown in Figure 8-5. Here we
can see the values for the Shear Dynamic in the Directions X and Y.
