ANALYSIS, DESIGN AND STRUCTURAL ESTIMATION OF RCC STRUCTURE USING ETABS AND MICROSOFT EXCEL

Abstract

Since India is a developing country, many new projects are being started on a daily basis that must be finished within a certain time frame. The main factors in project completion are design and implementation, which aid in the stability of the structure. In this dissertation, we describe our novel method to design utilising ETABS and Microsoft Excel. We start by designing the structure and simulating it in ETABS software using various loads and load combinations according to the IS codebook, then exporting to MS Excel and additional processing delivers the entire detailed and schedule drawings of the RCC structure. Following the design of structural elements, we must acquire the bar bending schedule in order to achieve structural estimation. So, after we have the bar bending schedule, we can calculate the quantity of steel and concrete required in the building, and then we can estimate the cement, sand, coarse aggregate, and bricks based on the concrete given. The outcome of our proposed strategy demonstrates that the procedure is very efficient, saving time and money. Normally, the design process takes many hours to complete, but with the aid of this proposed approach, efficient solutions may be obtained in just a few minutes.
