Etabs, beams, columns, ACI 318-14, IS 456-2000Abstract
This paper includes analysis and designs of a G+15 story RC building frame by commercial software Etabs 2016 according to Indian Standards as IS 456-2000, IS 1893(part 1)-2002, IS 875(part 5)1987 and American Standards as ACI 318-14, ASCE7-10. The average required reinforcement steel area for flexural, Shear and Torsion of the beams and columns are compared by the results obtained in both codes with the same plan, sections, materials, seismic characteristic and loads.
