Wall Design in ETABS

[sampath40]

Can anybody explain how to model a wall (such as bearing walls which are also shear walls and subject to transverse bending loads) subject to axial, lateral and transverse loads, analze and design in ETABS

it is easy
u can draw it as shell elements then assign it as piers and select the design case ( T-c, uniform, general ) section.

there is a very useful video tutorials in CSI home page

and sure the Etabs manuals has an expatiation discription about modeling and design shear walls
