1. INTRODUCTION
The main objective of this manual is to set a guideline to be followed by structural design team during
phases of structural modeling using CSI software (ETABS), and structural analysis.
This manual contains parameters, procedures and recommendations concern mostly about
reinforced concrete structures and that comply with the CSI manuals and technical papers as well as
the common design codes as listed hereafter;
The recommendations and procedures in this manual are following the most common standard
practice in the region. However, in some cases or in certain projects, some parameters and/or
procedures may be revised.
The defined concrete should be named as the concrete grade (for example “fcu50” or “fc40”) as
shown in Figure 1.

The following parameters are used for all design codes unless otherwise mentioned in project
specifications:
Modulus of
Elasticity (E) in 4700 f ` (a)
22000[(fck+8)/10]0.3 (b) 1000*(20+0.2*fcu)(c) 4400 fcu (d)
c
MPa
Specified concrete
compressive
fc` fck = fc` fcu fcu
strength(e)
(e) When the design code in concrete frame design preferences is changed to ACI 318 or BS
8110, the specified concrete compressive strength option is automatically changed to f c` or fcu,
respectively, but without changing the entered value.
The steel reinforcement rebar should be defined according to Figure 2, while the maximum yield
value used for bending and shear reinforcement should be limited as listed in Table 2.

460 MPa or
Bending 460 MPa 400 MPa
420 MPa(a)
(d) 240 MPa for 8mm diameter stirrups and 400 MPa for 10mm or more diameter stirrups
Beams are usually modeled as concrete rectangular section. The section should be named after the
concrete cross section (for example “B300x700”). The property modifiers are according to Table 3.
(a) ECP 203-2007; clause 4.2.3.7, for cracked beam section carrying equilibrium torsion. While could
be set to 0.01 where compatibility torsion is needed to be redistributed.
(b) ACI 318-14; clause R6.6.3.1.1, for T-sec simple beam, use modifier = 0.70 and for continuous
beams with T-sec parts, use modifier = 0.50
(c) ECP 201-2012; clause 8.7.1, T-sec simple beam, use modifier = 1.0 and for continuous beams with
T-sec parts, use modifier = 0.75
