Understanding Mass Summary by Story in ETABS In structural engineering, the Mass Summary by Story etabs mass summary by story
In ETABS, a popular software for structural analysis and design, the "Mass Summary by Story" feature provides a detailed report of the mass distribution of a building model, broken down by story (or floor). Mass summary matches hand calculation
In a dynamic analysis, ETABS calculates the participation factors based on this mass. A critical check involves verifying that the modal participation mass ratios sum to near 100% ( In a dynamic analysis, ETABS calculates the participation
The name of the floor level defined in your story data.
After running modal analysis, ETABS provides "Modal Participating Mass Ratios." For a valid model, the sum of modal mass ratios in the X and Y directions must exceed 90% of the total mass from the Mass Summary. If not, the analyst must add more modes.
