The paper summarizes the detailed analysis and design of G+5 residential building with help of ETABS software,showing a blend of conventional and modern tools. The six-story structure comprises four 1087 sqft flats per floor(total 4348 sqft/floor) supported by isolated foundations with a soil bearing capacity of 250 kN/m. All the criticalmembers such as one-way/two-way slabs, beams, columns, footings and staircases have been designed in asystematic way to meet the requirements of Indian Standard codes (IS 456, IS 1893) to ensure safety, serviceabilityand economy.The research compares the manual design procedures with ETABS models for complexity load distributions (deadand live loads), dynamic lateral forces, and complex beam-column-slab interactions, and it shows the ability ofthe software to deal with them. They find that the ETABS design reduces design time by 40% and improves theaccuracy of deflection, shear and moment calculation, especially for the 17×25m and 8×5 bay buildingconfigurations. The software’s visualization tools also enhanced error identification and spatial planning.This project highlights ETABS as a practical tool for high-rise building design, linking theory with real-timeefficiency, and stands as a precedent for future buildings in a fast-expanding urban India.
