Abstract

The understanding of the behavior of buildings during seismic events is paramount, particularly in regions susceptible to intense earthquakes. Through seismic analysis facilitated by tools like ETABS, engineers can craft structures capable of withstanding seismic forces. ETABS stands out as a versatile solution, accommodating a spectrum of structures ranging from elementary to intricate skyscrapers, whether static or dynamic. Its widespread adoption stems from its ability to cater to diverse building typologies. The engineers leverage ETABS to evaluate the structural integrity of buildings situated in earthquake-prone zones. This entails computing parameters such as sway, displacement patterns, and the magnitude of force the building's foundation must withstand. These analyses are instrumental in guaranteeing the structural resilience of buildings against seismic and wind-induced stresses.
