Etabs: Irregular Loading Etbs
Etabs: Irregular Loading Etbs
(OP)
I am working on a project with irregular loading on Etabs. It is just a simple model at the moment, with just gravity loading and seimic loading. I made a load combination of the two loading and run an analysis. I noticed that if I varied the loading it had no impact on the story drift, which makes me think that Etabs is not analysising the effect of the dead+seimic together. Any ideas in what I am doing wrong?

Otherwise, no effect on story drifts will take place.

The stiffness of the building is independent from the mass. However, the building's time period depends on both mass and stiffness. Higher the time period - lower the seismic forces.
