Auto Calc Seismic Design Values
Auto Calc Seismic Design Values
(OP)
I am new to ETABS. I am trying to hand check ETABS seismic with hand calcs. I am getting a respectable difference in base shears. Is there a summary table that neatly has all the seismic criteria (auto calculated by ETABS) in it? I cannot seem to find it.





RE: Auto Calc Seismic Design Values
ETABS output includes a 'summary report' that lists the formulas and values used by the software for Auto Seismic loads.
You can print this summary report, using following Menu command (ETABS version 9):
'File' -> 'Print Tables...'-> 'Summary Report'
A good structural engineer is often a blessing for others.
