In this part of the manual the "Define" menu to create the various sections to use slab
thicknesses and structural walls, materials, case response spectrum loads, load
combinations studied.
The Etabs starts, and access to the main program window will be taken.
Proceed to create a new model, we use "New_Model" or the key combination "Ctrl + N".
Then the dialog box "Model Initialization", which serve to generate and define the grid in
three dimensions for use in the model drawing will be charged.

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.

Heights levels by clicking the "Edit Story Data" button is edited. The correct values are
entered and click on OK to accept the changes.
That level is selected with "YES" in the "Master Story" column means that the elements
we draw level, copied or automatically erased in levels that have selected this level in the
"Similar To" column.
Returning to the "New Model Quick Templates" box, select the "Grid Only" button. The
other options "Add Structural Objects" allow us to create automatic models for other
structural systems. It is clicked, and the program will present the main screen drawing grid

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

= Is the factor of use, depending on the category of the Building, in this case of type C,
in accordance with Table No. 3 above
=
= The soil factor that has to do with the study of soils, according to local conditions set
out in Table No. 2, was assumed for this example S3 soil type, therefore,
=.
= The rate of reduction of seismic force, which depends on the structural system and
building material, as most of the system is composed of walls, whereas analysis is a system

= The seismic amplification factor, which depends on the period of Structure and Soil.
As this value depends on a time period T (s) and Spectrum Design is plotted versus time,
then you can generate a table of values Sa / g - Time with Sa / g dependent on C, then

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
