As cities expand, there is an increasing need for high-rise structures. As a result, the need for tools that assist in the design and analysis of structures in a more efficient manner is also on the rise. The emphasis of this research work is the analysis and design of high-rise buildings using ETABS, which is among the most commonly used analytical tools for building system designs. Because the program can address nonlinearities in geometry and load conditions, it is an effective instrument for designing tall buildings.

Different loading conditions such as dead load, live load, wind load and seismic load were all considered in the research as the building models where the main objective. ETABS is used to create a 3D living structure model that includes various structural system parts with several elements calculating stiffness, stability, and material characteristics. systems to drown the structure out from responding to lateral loads like the wind and earthquakes. Such as moment-resisting frames, shear walls and bracing systems are designed and further optimised through ETABS for safety and performance of the structure.As part of the design, the vertical level of force application will be determined, along with the dynamic properties of the building in relation to earthquake phenomena and high wind load. For instance, BC Hydro ETABS includes components that allow for advanced building modelling such as pushover analysis and response research. The study also notes that building codes and standards can be unified so that proper safety measures are put in place.From the findings, there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that ETABS is effective in the structural design of skyscrapers because it improves efficiency in structural component design through its load analysis capabilities. This research offers an in-depth approach to engineers and architects in the design of high rise buildings that are safe, effective, and demand less resources and time integrating modern day computational techniques.
