Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
I'm designing a Industrial building made up of steel which has a open grid steel flooring in one of its floor. I need to know what material properties I need to use and what slab parameter I need to select to model the open grid steel flooring in Etabs. The following site gives an idea about detailing of open grid steel flooring.
Open Grid Steel Flooring – Structural Detailer
In material properties I have taken Modulus of Elasticity as 0.00001. Also Specific Weight Density as 0 because I am applying its self weight as shell loads.
And in Slab Property Data I have taken Modelling type as Shell-Thin and Type as Slab and Thickness 1".
Is it alright or I need to change something to better mimic the reality?
