Structural Design of G+3 RCC Building as per IS Standards Using ETABS

The structural design of a G+3 reinforced cement concrete (RCC) building involves the comprehensive analysis and detailing of all structural components—such as beams, columns, slabs, and foundations—to ensure safety, stability, and serviceability under various loading conditions. Using ETABS, a widely used structural analysis and design software, the entire modeling and analysis process is streamlined and efficient. The building is designed in strict compliance with Indian Standard (IS) codes, including IS 456:2000 for general RCC design, IS 875 for loading considerations, and IS 1893 for seismic analysis, among others. ETABS allows for accurate simulation of real-world forces such as dead load, live load, wind, and seismic forces, ensuring the structure meets all performance and safety requirements. The use of IS codes ensures the design aligns with national guidelines, promoting structural integrity, durability, and compliance with regulatory standards.
