I have modeled a two storey building. x=8m, y=6m. 2nd Floor is 3m and bottom is 3.2m. Column is 0.30x0.30m, Beam is 0.20x0.40m, f'c=20.7Mpa, Fy=230Mpa, Con=25KN/m3. Slab=0.125m as shell.
I put slab both in second and top floor. Mesh it with auto mesh. Click the 1,2,3,4 checkbox. Then run the analysis. I noticed that the column at the second floor requires 2702mm2 and at the bottom is only 900mm2. Which is I think is wrong. The bottom storey should require more reinforcing bar. And what is the "O/S" means that shows on beams and columns? And the required steel in beams, I noticed that it is small. Those who have experience in etabs pls help me on how to make my analysis correctly.
