ETABS DRIFT CHECKING PROGRAMS

Table of Contents

Purpose

These programs aim to automate tediuos formatting of drift output from ETABS for structural design of drift-controlled lateral systems.

Technologies

  • Pandas
  • ETABS API
  • PYQT5

Project Status

  • Drift calculations are stable and relatively bug-free.
  • Torsion calculation seems to be buggy, not sure how to more appropriately calculate torsion ratio

Project Background

This collection of programs was initially developed on a hospital project to speed up the size optimization for lateral system elements. The drift outputs from ETABS can be difficult to use and slow to format so these programs attempt to streamline the process and automate the tedious formatting of ETABS output.
