6. Defining Loads :

Gravity loads (Dead & Live load)

Note:
For Self weight multiplier will be 1 for slabs, beams and columns of dead
load. For other loads, it will be zero. Dead Load of Beams, Columns and
slabs are automatically calculated by ETABS as per Section Properties and
Material properties that we have assigned already for dead load
calculation.
Defining Load Patterns:
Main menu Define Load Patterns.

By Default the screen will show only Dead and Live Load. If you want to
add any other loads like Wind or earthquake loads, give a name under
load and choose type and click add New Load button.
Defining Load cases:
Main menu Define load Cases.
Defining Load Combinations:

Main menu Define Load Combinations.

Click Add New Combination button. Give Name and Factor load as 1.50
for DL x 1.5 + LL x 1.5 Click Ok.
Loads on Slab:
Keep Plan view in Storey 5. Choose one Storey in bottom right.
Main menu AssignShell Loads Uniform .
Roof load : Terrace Water proofing load =2.50 KN/m2

Keep the Plan view as Storey 1. Choose Similar Stories button in bottom
right.
Main menu AssignShell Loads Uniform.
Select all slabs just by clicking on each slab and give the Load value as
1.0 KN/m2 ApplyOk.

Similarly give Live load as 4.0 KN/m2 for all other floor slab.
Wall loads on Beam:
Parapet wall =5 KN/m2

Keep Plan view in Storey 5. Choose One Storey button in bottom right.
Select Outer beams just by clicking on each beams.
