AIM

  • A five storey structure with 5 translational DOF is given here. Each storey has mass ‘m’. The eigenvalue problem has been solved and the 5 periods of vibration Tn and their corresponding mode shapes, φn has been derived.
  • Also, calculate the effective modal mass Mn* and the modal mass participating ratio for the 5 modes. The mass matrix will be required to evaluate these parameters.
  • Finally, obtain the base shear for each of the 5 modes of vibration and the combined base shear as per SRSS rule.
