This paper present the usage of shell and membrane elements are studied in high rise buildings using latest software ETABS 2013 .using this software results are compared between shell elements and membrane elements. Analysis is done using ETABS software on a high rise building with (2B+18) the ...
I use etabs 8.5.6 to model a 35 story building. I model the slabs using shell and membrane and obtain different period. torsion x...
Now if u are designing as slab, where out of plane bending and shear are major, then you have to look for M11 and M22 and F23 and F13. If you are designing as vertical element, where in plane forces (or membrane action)are major, then you have to look for F11 and F22 To underst...
