ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT
This document presents an example of analysis design of slab using ETABS.
This example examines a simple single story building, which is regular in plan
and elevation. It is examining and compares the calculated ultimate moment
from CSI ETABS & SAFE with hand calculation. Moment coefficients were
used to calculate the ultimate moment. However it is good practice that such
hand analysis methods are used to verify the output of more sophisticated
methods.
Also, this document contains simple procedure (step-by-step) of how to
design solid slab according to Eurocode 2.The process of designing elements
will not be revolutionised as a result of using Eurocode 2.
Due to time constraints and knowledge, I may not be able to address the
whole issues.
Please send me your suggestions for improvement. Anyone interested to
share his/her knowledge or willing to contribute either totally a new section
about ETABS or within this section is encouraged.
