A two-dimensional reinforced concrete frame building subjected to a set of lateral loads is shown. The sectional sizes of beams (b×d) and columns (x×y), the floor height (h), the beam span (s) and the applied lateral loads (P1, P2, P3) are listed in Table 1. The material properties of all structural members are constant: the Young's Modulus E = 25GPa and Poisson's ratio v = 0.2. For lateral load analysis, you may assume the concrete weight per unit volume to be 0 N/m3.

Assignment 2 Lateral Load Analysis of a Frame using ETABS
Setup the computer model of the building using the computer software ETABS (which is available in Manusell Laboratory) and (a) determine the deformed shape of the frame; (b) show the bending moment diagram of the frame; (c) check the global force equilibrium of the frame; (d) check if the drift ratio (Δroof / Hb) ≤ 1/500, where Hb is the building height and Δroof is the roof lateral displacement; and (e) suggest four practical ways to reduce the drift ratio of the building.
