    End Releases for Truss Members in ETABS

    I am designing a three-storey steel building in ETABS with roof truss. Should we assign end releases to the truss members? If so, what is the proper way to apply end releases? I see that even when end releases are not applied, and we check for axial/shear/bending moments in those truss members...

    Error in Modeling in ETABS

    Hello, I modelled an 8-storey building in ETABS with a Basement and Lift Core. After modeling and application of all loads, when I perform analysis I can see only the topmost storey deflecting. There doesn't seem to be any deflections in the storey below. As a result of this, the time period in...

    Torsional Irregualrity in Building

    Hello! I analyzed a fairly regular and symmetric building in ETABS and I was checking the results of Modal Analysis as per IS 1893 (Part 1): 2016. Code says that "the fundamental lateral natural periods of the building in the two principal plan directions should be away from each other by at...
