Step 1 Begin a New Model

In this Step, the basic grid that will serve as a template for developing the model will be
defined.
A. Click the File menu > New Model command or the New Model button . The
form shown in Fig. 3 will display. Verify that the default units are set to KN, m, C.
B. The New Model form
allows for the quick
generation of numerous
model types using
parametric generation
techniques. However, in
this tutorial the model will
be started using only the
grid generation. When
laying out the grid, it is
important that the geometry
defined accurately represents Fig.3 New Model form
the major geometrical aspects of the model, so it is advisable to spend time

carefully planning the number and spacing of the grid lines. Select the Grid Only
button, and the form shown in Fig. 4 will display.
C. The Quick Grid Lines form (Fig. 4) is used to specify the grids and spacing in the
X, Y and Z directions. Set the number of grid lines to 4 in the X and Y direction,
and to 6 in the Z directions. Type 5, 3, 3.1 into X, Y, Z directions spacing edit
boxes respectively. The values specified in the First Grid Line Location area
locate the origin of the grid lines; make sure that these values are all set to zero
for this tutorial. Click the OK button to continue.
1. Click the Define menu > Coordinate Systems/Grids command. The
Coordinate/Grid Systems form will display. Make sure that the Systems
item on the Coordinate/Grid Systems form has Global highlighted and
Page 3 of 44
Fig. 4 Quick Grid lines form Fig. 5 Define Grid Data form
Fig. 6 SAP 2000 Windows
Page 4 of 44
click the Modify/Show System button. The Define Grid Data form (Fig.
5) will display.
2. The Define grid data form is used to specify the irregular spacing in the X,
Y and Z directions. Set the Display Grid as to spacing.
3. In Y Grid Data set spacing as 2 for Grid ID 2 and in Z Grid Data set it to
1.2 for z1 Grid ID.
4. Click the OK button to close the Define Grid Data form.
D. Click the OK button to close the Coordinate/Grid Systems form, and Fig. 6 will
appear. The grids appear in two view windows tiled vertically, an X-Y “Plan”
View on the left and a 3-D View on the right, as shown in Fig. 6. The number of
view windows may be changed by selecting the Options menu > Windows
command.
Notice that the “Plan” view is active in Fig 6. When the window is active, the
display title bar is highlighted. Set a view active by clicking anywhere in the view
window.
Note that the Global Axes are displayed as well, and that Z positive is in the “up”
direction. When SAP2000 refers to the direction of gravity, this is in the negative
Z direction, or “down”.
Step 2 Define Material

Use the Define menu > Materials command
to add, modify, or delete a material property
definition. The material property definitions
are then used in defining the structural objects
(frame sections, cable sections, tendon
sections, area sections, solid properties).
A. Click the Define menu > Materials
command, the Define Material form (Fig.
Fig. 7 Define Materials form
7) will display.

Fig. 8 Material Property Data form -Concrete Fig. 9 Material Property Data form -Rebar
Highlight a 4000Psi in the Materials display list. Then Click the Modify/Show
Material button, the form shown in Fig. 8 will display.
B. In Material Name and display color edit box, type M20 and in Material Type select
concrete from drop down list.
C. Set Weight per unit Volume as 25. Set Modulus of Elasticity to 22360679.774
( 5000 f ck as per IS 456). Set Poisson’s Ratio to 0.15. Set Specified Concrete
Compressive Strength to 20000 and then click OK button.

D. Highlight a A992fy50 in the Materials display list. Then Click on Modify/Show
Material button, the form shown in Fig. 9 will display.
E. In Material Name and display color edit box, type Fe415 and in Material Type select
Rebar from drop down list.
F. Set Minimum yield stress, fy, Minimum tensile stress, fu , Expected yield stress, fye and
Expected tensile stress, fue to 415000, 498000, 518750 and 622500. Click OK
buttons on Material Property Data form and Add materials form to exit all forms.

Step 3 Define Frame Section

Defining a frame section makes the
section available for assignment to
selected frame objects. The Define menu
> Frame Sections command can be used
to (a) import sections from predefined
databases, (b) define frame section
properties on the basis of their
dimensions, (c) review and modify
Fig. 10 Frame Properties form
section properties, and (d) delete section properties.
A. Click the Define menu > Section Properties > Frame Sections command, which
will display the Frame Properties form (Fig. 10).

Step 4 Add Frame Objects

In this Step, Frame objects with the associated column and beam sections list are drawn
using the grids and snap-to options, and generated using Edit menu commands.
Draw Frame Objects (XZ Plane)
Make sure that the X-Z Plane @ Y= 0 views is active (see Step1-D for directions on how
to make a view active). This view should be in the left window. Also check that the Snap
to Points and Grid Intersections command is active. This will assist in accurately
positioning the frame objects. This command is active when its associated button is
depressed. Alternatively, use the Draw menu > Snap to > Points and Grid
Intersections command. By default, this command is active.
A. Click the View menu > Set 2D View command.
B. In the Set 2D View form click on the X-Z plane option. Type 0 into the Y = edit
box to display the Side view at Y = 0, and click OK.
C. Click the Draw Frame/Cable/Tendon button or use the Draw menu > Draw
Frame/Cable/Tendon command. If you accessed the Draw
Frame/Cable/Tendon command via the Draw menu, the Draw
Frame/Cable/Tendon button will depress verifying your command selection.
The Properties of Object pop-up form for frames will appear as shown in Fig.15.
Page 9 of 44
If the Properties of Object form is

covering any part of the model in
either view, click on the title bar
and drag it out of the way.

cursor location is indicated in the lower right-hand corner of the interface. A
frame lines should appear in both views (Side and 3D). After clicking to define
the end point of the column, a right click will “lift the pen” so you will no longer
be actively drawing, but will leave the Draw Frame/Cable/Tendon command
active so that you may add additional objects. If you have made a mistake while
drawing this object, click the Select Object button, to leave the Draw mode
and go to the Select mode. Then click the Edit menu > Undo Frame Add
command, and repeat Items C-D.
F. Repeat Item E to draw additional columns along the Grid line X=5, X=10 and
X=15. These members form the columns of XZ frame at Y = 0. Right click to
stop drawing.

Step 5 Define Load Patterns

The loads used in this problem consist of Dead, Dead Wall, Dead Slab, Dead FF (Floor
finish), Dead RT (Roof treatment), Live and Live Roof loads acting in the gravity
direction.
A. Click the Define menu > Load Patterns command to bring up the Define Load
Patterns form (Fig. 21). Note there is a single default load case defined, which is a
Dead Load case with self-weight (DEAD).
Note that the self-weight multiplier is set to 1 for the default case. This indicates that
this load pattern will automatically include 1.0 times the self-weight of all members.
In SAP2000, both Load Patterns and Load Cases exist, and they may be different.
However, the program automatically creates a corresponding Load case when a load
pattern is defined, and the load cases are available for review at the time the analysis
is run.
B. Click in the edit

box for the
Load Pattern
Name column.
Type the name
of the new load Fig. 21 Define load Patterns form
pattern, DEAD Wall. Select a Type of load from the drop-down list; in this case,
select SUPER DEAD. Make sure that the Self Weight multiplier is set to zero. Click
the Add New Load Pattern button to add the Dead Wall load to the load list.
C. Repeat item B, to add Dead Slab, Dead FF, Dead RT load cases.
D. Type the name of the new load pattern, LIVE. Select LIVE, a Type of load from the
drop-down list. Make sure that the Self Weight Multiplier is set to zero. Click the
Add New Load Pattern button to add the Live load to the load list.
E. Type the name of the new load pattern, LIVE ROOF. Select ROOF LIVE, a Type
of load from the drop-down list. Make sure that the Self Weight Multiplier is set to
zero. Click the Add New Load Pattern button to add the Live load to the load list.
Page 14 of 44

A response-spectrum function is simply a list of period versus spectral-acceleration
values. In SAP2000, the acceleration values in the function are assumed to be
normalized; that is, the functions themselves are not assumed to have units. Instead, the
units are associated with a scale factor that multiplies the function and that is specified
when the response-spectrum analysis case is defined.
