Step 4-2: Specify Time History Case for EQX Specify time history case as shown in figure below Seismic Analysis & Design of 10 Story RC Building (Time History Analysis) 19/59
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 location etc. 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.

9. Run Shear Wall Design and View Results Typical Shear Wall Design Procedure Following is a typical shear wall design process that might occur for a new building. Note that the sequence of steps you may take in any particular design may vary from this but the basic process will be essentially the same. 1. After create the building model Use the Options menu > Preferences > Shear Wall Design command to review the shear wall design preferences and revise them if necessary. Note that there are default values provided for all shear wall design preferences so it is not actually necessary for you to define any preferences unless you want to change some of the default preference values. 2. Run the building analysis using the Analyze menu > Run Analysis command. 3. Assign the wall pier and wall spandrel labels. Use the Assign menu > Frame/Line > Pier Label, the Assign menu > Shell/Area > Pier Label, the Assign menu > Frame/Line > Spandrel Label, and the Assign menu > Shell/Area > Spandrel Label commands to do this. Note that the labels can be assigned before or after the analysis is run. 4. Assign shear wall overwrites, if needed, using the Design menu > Shear Wall Design > View/Revise Pier Overwrites and the Design menu > Shear Wall Design > View/Revise Spandrel Overwrites commands. Note that you must select piers or spandrels first before using these commands. Also note that there are default values provided for all pier and spandrel design overwrites so it is not actually necessary for you to define any overwrites unless you want to change some of the default overwrite values. Note that the overwrites can be assigned before or after the analysis is run. Important note about selecting piers and spandrels: You can select a pier or spandrel simply by selecting any line or area object that is part of the pier or spandrel. 48/59 Seismic Analysis & Design of 10 Story RC Building (Time History Analysis)
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. Seismic Analysis & Design of 10 Story RC Building (Time History Analysis) 49/59
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.
