How to model a oneway slab in ETABS?
(OP)
1)How can I model a simple oneway slab in ETABS?
2) I have long spans in my slab and I should use truss or steel joist under the slab how can I model my slab in ETABS?

then go to the slab
theres a box there that you can pick if you want a one way slab
and you can orient it too
try to have a manual and you will see different ways on making slab

I have not had much success with using one way distribution of shell element forces, especially if it is non-rectangular.

yes, dont forget to choose the membrane box in the program if you are modeling the slabs
but of course, before using the resulting forces, try to provide a manual rough calculations so that you will know if the program is doing what you want it to do....garbage in garbage out
