Etabs - Building

This document provides an introduction and overview of modeling and analyzing a building using ETABS 2016 integrated building design software. It outlines the steps to create a model including defining materials, sections, grids, applying loads such as wind, slab and wall loads, generating load combinations, meshing the model, and analyzing and reviewing results for reactions and bending moment diagrams. The goal is to demonstrate the basic workflow and capabilities of ETABS for structural analysis of buildings.
