Prokon

PROKON Structural Analysis and Design is a suite of over thirty structural analysis, design and detailing programs. The first PROKON programs were developed in 1989, and today PROKON is used worldwide in over eighty countries. The suite is modular in nature, but its true power lies in the tight integration between analysis, design and detailing programs

PROKON Structural Analysis and Design is developed by a team of professional engineers and aimed for use by structural engineers and technicians. The software provides quick and reliable answers to everyday structural and geotechnical engineering problems:

• Frame and finite element analysis
• Steel member design
• Steel connection design
• Reinforced and prestressed concrete design
• CAD and reinforced concrete detailing
• Timber member design
• Masonry design
• Other structural applications such as section properties calculation and section database

A collection of geotechnical analysis modules is also available as part of the PROKON suite.

The PROKON suite is modular, yet integrated. Some modules can be used stand-alone, or in conjunction with others. The suite offers a powerful workflow from structural analysis, steel and concrete design, and detailing.

You can use the Concrete Base Design module, for example, on its own or link to it from the Frame Analysis results to have all the design loads entered automatically. Likewise, you can manually detail a concrete footing in Padds, or design the footing in the Concrete Base Design module and have it generate a drawing and bending schedule for you.

For nearly 30 years, ETABS has been recognized as the industry standard for Building Analysis and Design Software. Today, continuing in the same tradition, ETABS has evolved into a completely Integrated Building Analysis and Design Environment. The System built around a physical object based graphical user interface, powered by targeted new special purpose algorithms for analysis and design, with interfaces for drafting and manufacturing, is redefining standards of integration, productivity and technical innovation.

The integrated model can include Moment Resisting Frames, Braced Frames, Staggered Truss Systems, Frames with Reduced Beam Sections or Side Plates, Rigid and Flexible Floors, Sloped Roofs, Ramps and Parking Structures, Mezzanine Floors, Multiple Tower Buildings and Stepped Diaphragm Systems with Complex Concrete, Composite or Steel Joist Floor Framing Systems. Solutions to complex problems such as Panel Zone Deformations, Diaphragm Shear Stresses, and Construction Sequence Loading are now at your fingertips.

ETABS is the solution, whether you are designing a simple 2D frame or performing a dynamic analysis of a complex high-rise that utilizes non-linear dampers for inter-story drift control.

Modeling With ETABS

Getting Started with ETABS/ Modeling in ETABS/ ETABS

ETABS allow the users to

1. Create and modify computer models.
2. Create structural elements (columns, slabs, shear-walls, beams).
3. Create structural elements (columns, slabs, shear-walls, beams).
4. Analyze multiple scenarios and conditions, such as,

• Earthquake and wind loads,
• Sequential loading of construction,
• When the analysis is run, it goes from an object based to an element based model
• The analysis consist of frames, joints, linked with shell elements.
• Design and optimize multistory buildings (steel/composite, concrete frame and shear-walls.)
• All these steps through a single graphic user interface (GUI).

Steps To Model a Building in ETABS

1. Define the building’s geometry (it’s footprint, including the adjacent
structures, establish the gridlines, etc…).

2. Consider the implications of the geographic location of the building.

3. Establish the codes, analysis procedures and design criteria to be applied
(for example, ASCE 7, UBC, IBC2000, Florida Building Code, ACI 318).


4. Define the loads (dead, live, reduction factors, wind and seismic).

5. Choose the structural elements, such as columns, shear-walls, etc.

6. Define the working units (for example, lb-in, kips-ft, etc.).

7. Define the various concrete strengths (eg, 4000 psi, 8000 psi, etc.).

8. Define the modulus of elasticity for concrete.

9. Define and create columns sizes and strengths for all different levels.

10. Define wall strengths and thickness.

11. Define steel strength and modulus of elasticity.

12. Place columns and shear-walls upon the gridlines.


Modeling a Building in ETABS

Note:click the images to see it clear

Parameters
Columns:> 30" x 30 ''
Beams :> 24" x 24 " Shear Walls :> outer walls =84" inner walls=24" Transvers walls = 8"
Vertical Spacing b/w Coloumns = 25'
Horizontal Spacing b/w Columns = 30'


Define a New Model


A New Model Initialization window opens in which you will be asked to whether to initialize your new model with definitions and preferences with existing .edb file...
For instance click no in this problem

Define the ist Story


Choose "Grid Only"
Model of ist story properly,run analysis and check for any improperly connected nodes.

Alternatively use ETABS' Uniform grid spacing

or
Etabs custom grid spacing


Define Properties

1. Material Properties
2. Frame Sections
3. Slab/Wall Sections
4. Static Load Cases
5. Load Combinations

1-Material Properties

Add New Material

Or
Define Material Properties
Suppose a Concrete of Fc'=4ksi

2-Frame Sections
Add New Rectangular Section


Place The Concrete Coloumn on the Grid

ADD BEAM

ADD WALL SECTIONS

ADD SLAB

Define The Load Cases



Load Combinations

DDL = Design Dead + Live Load
SDL = Service Dead + Live Load



Draw Coloumn,beams,shear walls......to be continued...
