Cracking width slab in Etabs

[Zouatine]

Hi everyone!!!!

Hope all of you are doing well.
I'm facing some problems with checking the crack in slab with ETabs , I have designed my building in Etabs and run analysis but I can't find the crack in slab option in Etabs , can some one help me !!!!

Thanks

I am far from an expert in ETABS but I thought that maybe crack width checks have to be done within ETABS' sister program SAFE?

I think the idea is that you can export your ETABS model to be imported into SAFE... define your slab reinforcement and then check your crack widths.

Are you looking to reduce the stiffness of the slab for the purposes of a lateral analysis or are you looking for the crack widths in the slab?
