Frame Design in SAPSpace Software

This document provides instructions for modeling and analyzing a multi-story building frame in a structural analysis software. It describes how to define analysis parameters, create the grid, add materials, define beam and column sections, model the frame geometry by replicating sections, apply boundary conditions to joints, define slab and load properties, and specify earthquake load parameters.

FileNew ModeSelect Unit kN,m, C

Click on Grid Only

Enter number of Grid line, Grid spacing and First Grid line location.
To Modify Grid double click on grid point
DefineMaterialsModify show Material or add new material if required
Define require material properties

SelectDefineSection PropertiesFrame section-Add new MaterialSelect Rectangle


Give Section Name Select material Define depthDefine WidthClick on concrete
reinforcement
Longitudinal Bar  Steel
Confinement Bar Steel
Design type  for column section select column & for beam select Beam
Give clear cover for confinement bar
Give Number of bar in longitudinal direction for both face
Select diameter for longitudinal bar size
Select diameter for confinement bar size
Give number of confinement in both directions
Select option reinforcement to be checked / Reinforcement to be designed
In option of reinforcement to be checked it will check the reinforcement as defined
In option of Reinforcement to be design it will not consider rebar size and give the design.
By this procedure define different size of beam and Column
Select Elevation 1Select quick element Select appropriate column Draw same at BaseAgain
Select baem-Draw beam element

Select all element EditReplicateTo copy same in Y direction In dY write distance from
elevation 1Give number of increment and click ok
Select all member Edit Replicate To copy same in upper storey Write distance in dzGive
number of increment

Select base coordinateSelect AssignJointRestrainFix type


To define slab select section propertiesArea SectionAdd new propertiesDefine material and
depth for the slab
DefineLoad patternsWrite Name of load DeadType DeadSelf weight 1
Load patternsname of load LiveType LiveSelf weight multiplier 0
Load patternsname of load WindXType windSelf weight 0Auto lateral load Pattern IS875
Click modify lateral load patternDefine properties for wind
Load patternsname of load EQXType QuakeSelf weight 0Auto lateral load pattern IS1893
Click Modify lateral load pattern

Define earthquake parametersLoad direction, Zone factor, Soil type, Importance factor, Response
