Design and Analysis of a Residential Building using ETABS integrated with Green Building Concept

Planning and design process enclosed in green building design is known as pre-building phase, whereas construction, utilization and maintenance of building is known as building phase, and destruction of structure is known as post-building phase, throughout the intended life of the building. Architectural design with unique characteristics which were missing in traditional construction is the key feature of green buildings. By implementing green concepts in residential buildings we have attempt to use renewable resources more sensibly in order to create an eco-friendly environment which will excel the living experience for residents, and minimize the ecological footprints of the building. This paper presents stories RCC framed building analyzed and designed under the lateral loading effect of earthquake using (Extended Three Dimensional Analysis of Building system). All the major analysis process i.e. static, dynamic, Linear and non-linear, etc., as well as designing of the building is included in the ETABS software. Because of the facilities provided in this software at the modelling stage, the buildings can be modelled as per the arrangement of the members of the project in Practical, and this software considers the beams, columns as Line members; slabs, Ramps/staircases, walls are as area members. This paper mainly deals with the structural analysis and designing of a residential building using ETABS software and those results are further verified by manual calculation and design as per IS 456: 2000 and in the pre-building phase the green design concepts are implemented in the architectural design of a building to reduce the carbon footprints of the building.
