Shear wall design in ETABS v8.30
We did use ETABS latest version 8.4.5, but the problem persists. If we use diferent PhiVs, lets say 0.6 and then 0.5, 0.4,or 0.3, you get results for Vc with diferent equations, and we don't undesrtand why This issue make us believe that something maybe wrong in ETABS seismic shear design Any...- ctcing

Flexible Diaphragms
AS far as I know, you just need to create a shell property in "Define" "Wall/Slab/ sections" The shell element should have the appropiate material properties and thickness hope this can help- ctcing

Shear wall design in ETABS v8.30
Hello fellows. Hopefully you have some advice on this one. We are trying to verify the results for SIESMIC shear wall design in ETABS for UBC97 First, what we need to figure out is concrete shear capacity Vc, which can be calculated using equations 11-31 and 11-32 in CHAP 19 Section...- ctcing

Safe Design
Our experience tell us to slightly over estimate de thickness of slabs and probably reduce rebar cost. We also determine our safety factors on floor vibrations or noise reduction in the case of apartment buildings regards- ctcing
