Checks for etabs or staad pro models

[Tejas Jain]

Mostly all structural designer prefer analysing building on etabs and staad pro software. But softwares don't check for deflection or story drift so we have to check for deflection manually. What are the different checks according to codes for which model should be checked?

Deflection results can be seen in STAAD PRO after analysis.

1) Displacement - For earthquake load - h/250
2) Displacement - For Wind load - h/500
3) Story drift ratio - 0.004*h
4) Torsion Check -
Max Displacement/Average Displacement should be less than 1.2

If there are any other checks let me know.
