2) To calculate the effective modal mass Mn* and the modal mass participating ratio for the 5 modes.

3) To find the base shear for each of the 5 modes of vibration and the combined base shear as per SRSS rule.

1) To find out the Modal mass (`M_n`) of a given storey .

A) For 1st Node - T= 2 sec

i) We know that ,

Modal Mass (`M_n`) = `phi_n^T m phi_n`----------------------------------(A)

Wherre ,

m = Mass Matrix

`phi_n` = Mode shape @nth node

`phi_n^T` = Transpose of Mode shape .

ii) So , For 1st node = `T_1 = 2 sec`

`phi_n = ((0.334) , (0.641) , (0.895) , (1.078) , (1.173))` ------------------------------------( given)

`:.phi_n^T = [ 0.334 , .641 , 0.895 , 1.078 , 1.173 ]`

Mass Matrix = m = `[[m,0,0,0,0],[0,m,0,0,0] ,[0,0,m,0,0],[0,0,0,m,0],[0,0,0,0,m]]` --------------( Each Storey has same mass 'm')

iii) put all this value in`eq^n (A)`

`:.Modal Mass = M_n` = `[ 0.334 , .641 , 0.895 , 1.078 , 1.173 ] [[m,0,0,0,0],[0,m,0,0,0] ,[0,0,m,0,0],[0,0,0,m,0],[0,0,0,0,m]] ((0.334) , (0.641) , (0.895) , (1.078) , (1.173))`

`:.`Solving above matrix , we get

`M_1 = 3.861m`

iv) To Calculate `L_n`

We know that ,

`L_n =phi_n^T m i`-----------------------------------------(B)

Wherre ,

m = Mass Matrix

`phi_n^T` = Transpose of Mode shape .

i = Influence vector = ( Take influence factor as Unitary )

`= ((1) ,(1) ,(1) ,(1) ,(1))`

`:.L_n=[ 0.334 , .641 , 0.895 , 1.078 , 1.173 ] [[m,0,0,0,0],[0,m,0,0,0] ,[0,0,m,0,0],[0,0,0,m,0],[0,0,0,0,m]] ((1) , (1) , (1) , (1) , (1))`

`:.` Solving above Matrix , we get

`L_1 = 4.121 m`

v)To find the Modal Participation factor - `Γn`

We know that ,

`Γn = (L_n)/M_n`

So put the value of `L_1 = 4.121 m` and `M_1 = 3.861m`

we get ,

`:.Γ_1 = (4.121m)/(3.861m)`

`:.Γ_1 = 1.067`

vi) To calculate the Effective Modal Mass

we know that ,

`M_n^ ** = (L_n^2)/(M_n)`

put the value of `L_1 = 4.121 m` and `M_1 = 3.861m`

`:.M_1^ ** = (4.121m)^2/(3.861m)`

`:.M_1^ ** = 4.398 m`

vii) To calculate the modal mass participating ratio -

we know that ,

Modal mass participating ration is given by = It is ratio of Effective Modal mass (`M_n^**`) to the Total Mass (mj)

= `(M_n^**) / (m_j)`

So Total mass of 5 storey = m+m+m+m+m

= 5m

`:.M_1^** / m_j`

= `(4.398m) / (5m)`

= `0.88 = 88%`

viii) To find out the base shear -

Now we have to calculate the Base Shear (`V_b`)

We know that ,

`V_b = M_1^** *A_1`

To calculate A1 value refer the following graph

i.e Pseudo spectral acceleration vs Time period

we get value of A1 in terms of Pseudo acceleration

So , For T1 = 2 sec

A1 = 0.27 g ( From graph )

`:.V_b = M_1^** *A_1`

`:.V_b = 4.398m^** *0.27g`

`:.V_(b_1) = 1.187 mg`

B) For 2nd Node - T =( 0.6852 sec)

i) We know that ,

Modal Mass (`M_n`) = `phi_n^T m phi_n`----------------------------------(A)

Wherre ,

m = Mass Matrix

`phi_n` = Mode shape @nth node

`phi_n^T` = Transpose of Mode shape .

ii) So , For 2nd node = `T_2 = 0.6852 sec`

`phi_2 = ((-0.895) , (-1.173) , (-0.641) , (0.334) , (1.078))` ------------------------------------( given)`

`:.phi_n^T = [ -0.895 , -1.173 , -0.641 , 0.334 , 1.078 ]` `

Mass Matrix = m = `[[m,0,0,0,0],[0,m,0,0,0] ,[0,0,m,0,0],[0,0,0,m,0],[0,0,0,0,m]]` --------------( Each Storey has same mass 'm')

iii) put all this value in`eq^n (A)`

`:.Modal Mass = M_n` = `[- 0.895 , -1.173 , -0.641 , 0.334 , 1.078 ] [[m,0,0,0,0],[0,m,0,0,0] ,[0,0,m,0,0],[0,0,0,m,0],[0,0,0,0,m]] ((-0.895) , (-1.173) , (-0.641) , (0.334) , (1.078))`

`:.`Solving above matrix , we get

`= ((1) ,(1) ,(1) ,(1) ,(1))`

`:.L_2=[ -0.895 , -1.173 , -0.641 , 0.334 , 1.078 ] [[m,0,0,0,0],[0,m,0,0,0] ,[0,0,m,0,0],[0,0,0,m,0],[0,0,0,0,m]] ((1) , (1) , (1) , (1) , (1))`

`:.` Solving above Matrix , we get

`L_2 = -1.297 m`

v)To find the Modal Participation factor - `Γn`

We know that ,

`Γn = (L_n)/M_n`

So put the value of `L_2 = -1.297 m` and `M_2 = 3.861m`

we get ,

`:.Γ_2 = (-1.297m)/(3.861m)`

`:.Γ_2 = -0.336`

vi) To calculate the Effective Modal Mass

we know that ,

`M_n^ ** = (L_n^2)/(M_n)`

put the value of `L_2 = -1.297 m` and `M_2 = 3.861m`

`:.M_2^ ** = (-1.297m)^2/(3.861m)`

`:.M_2^ ** = 0.436 m`

vii) To calculate the modal mass participating ratio -

we know that ,

Modal mass participating ration is given by = It is ratio of Effective Modal mass (`M_n^**`) to the Total Mass (mj)

= `(M_n^**) / (m_j)`

So Total mass of 5 storey = m+m+m+m+m

= 5m

`:.M_2^** / m_j`

= `(0.436m) / (5m)`

= `0.0872 = 8.72%`

viii) To find out the base shear -

Now we have to calculate the Base Shear (`V_b`)

We know that ,

`V_b = M_2^** *A_2`

To calculate A2 value refer the following graph

we get value of A2 in terms of Pseudo acceleration

So , For T1 = 0.6852 sec

A2 = 0.76 g ( From graph )

`:.V_b = M_2^** *A_2`

`:.V_b = 0.436m^** *0.76g`

`:.V_(b_2) = 0.33 mg`

Wherre ,

m = Mass Matrix

`phi_n` = Mode shape @nth node

`phi_n^T` = Transpose of Mode shape .

ii) So , For 3rd node = `T_3 = 0.4346 sec`

`phi_3 = ((1.173) , (0.334) , (-1.078) , (-0.641) , (0.895))` ------------------------------------( given)`

`:.phi_n^T = [ 1.173 ,0.334 , -1.178 , -0.641 , 0.895 ]``

Mass Matrix = m = `[[m,0,0,0,0],[0,m,0,0,0] ,[0,0,m,0,0],[0,0,0,m,0],[0,0,0,0,m]]` --------------( Each Storey has same mass 'm')

iii) put all this value in`eq^n (A)`

`:.Modal Mass = M_n` = `[1.173 , 0.334 , -1.178 , -0.641 , 0.895 ] [[m,0,0,0,0],[0,m,0,0,0] ,[0,0,m,0,0],[0,0,0,m,0],[0,0,0,0,m]] ((1.173) , (0.334) , (-1.178) , (-0.641) , (0.895))`

`:.`Solving above matrix , we get

`M_3 = 3.85m`

`= ((1) ,(1) ,(1) ,(1) ,(1))`

`:.L_3=[ 1.173 , 0.334 , -1.078 , -0.641 , 0.895 ] [[m,0,0,0,0],[0,m,0,0,0] ,[0,0,m,0,0],[0,0,0,m,0],[0,0,0,0,m]] ((1) , (1) , (1) , (1) , (1))`

`:.` Solving above Matrix , we get

`L_3 = 0.687m`

v)To find the Modal Participation factor - `Γn`

We know that ,

`Γn = (L_n)/M_n`

So put the value of `L_3 = 0.687m` and `M_3 = 3.85m`

we get ,

`:.Γ_3 = (0.687m)/(3.85m)`

`:.Γ_3 = 0.178`

vi) To calculate the Effective Modal Mass

we know that ,

`M_n^ ** = (L_n^2)/(M_n)`

put the value of `L_3 = 0.687 m` and `M_3 = 3.85m`

`:.M_3^ ** = (0.687m)^2/(3.85m)`

`:.M_3^ ** = 0.122 m`

vii) To calculate the modal mass participating ratio -

we know that ,

Modal mass participating ration is given by = It is ratio of Effective Modal mass (`M_n^**`) to the Total Mass (mj)

= `(M_n^**) / (m_j)`

So Total mass of 5 storey = m+m+m+m+m

= 5m

`:.M_3^** / m_j`

= `(0.122m) / (5m)`

= `0.0244 = 2.44%`

viii) To find out the base shear -

Now we have to calculate the Base Shear (`V_b`)

We know that ,

`V_b = M_3^** *A_3`

To calculate A3 value refer the following graph

`:.L_4=[ -1.078 , 0.895 , 0.334 , -1.173 , 0.641 ] [[m,0,0,0,0],[0,m,0,0,0] ,[0,0,m,0,0],[0,0,0,m,0],[0,0,0,0,m]] ((1) , (1) , (1) , (1) , (1))`

`:.` Solving above Matrix , we get

`L_4 = -0.381m`

v)To find the Modal Participation factor - `Γn`

We know that ,

`Γn = (L_n)/M_n`

So put the value of `L_4 = -0.381m` and `M_4 = 3.861m`

we get ,

`:.Γ_4 = (-0.381m)/(3.861m)`

`:.Γ_4 = -0.098`

vii) To calculate the modal mass participating ratio -

we know that ,

Modal mass participating ration is given by = It is ratio of Effective Modal mass (`M_n^**`) to the Total Mass (mj)

= `(M_n^**) / (m_j)`

So Total mass of 5 storey = m+m+m+m+m

= 5m

`nbsp; `:.M_4^** / m_j`

= `(0.030m) / (5m)`

= `0.006 = 0.6%`

viii) To find out the base shear -

Now we have to calculate the Base Shear (`V_b`)

We know that ,

`V_b = M_4^** *A_4`

To calculate A4 value refer the following graph

Wherre ,

m = Mass Matrix

`phi_n` = Mode shape @nth node

`phi_n^T` = Transpose of Mode shape .

ii) So , For 5th node = `T_5 = 0.2966 sec`

`phi_5 = ((0.641) , (-1.078) , (1.173) , (-0.895) , (0.334))` ------------------------------------( given)`

`:.phi_n^T = [ 0.641 ,-1.078 , 1.173 , -0.895 , 0.334 ]`

Mass Matrix = m = `[[m,0,0,0,0],[0,m,0,0,0] ,[0,0,m,0,0],[0,0,0,m,0],[0,0,0,0,m]]` --------------( Each Storey has same mass 'm')

iii) put all this value in`eq^n (A)`

`:.Modal Mass = M_n` = `[0.641 ,-1.078 ,1.173 , -0.895 , 0.334 ] [[m,0,0,0,0],[0,m,0,0,0] ,[0,0,m,0,0],[0,0,0,m,0],[0,0,0,0,m]] ((0.641) , (-1.078) , (1.173) , (-0.895) , (0.334)`

`:.`Solving above matrix , we get

`M_5 = 3.861m`

iv) To Calculate `L_n`

We know that ,

`phi_n^T` = Transpose of Mode shape .

i = Influence vector = ( Take influence factor as Unitary )

`= ((1) ,(1) ,(1) ,(1) ,(1))`

`:.L_4=[ 0.641 ,-1.078 ,1.173 , -0.895 , 0.334 ] [[m,0,0,0,0],[0,m,0,0,0] ,[0,0,m,0,0],[0,0,0,m,0],[0,0,0,0,m]] ((1) , (1) , (1) , (1) , (1))`

`:.` Solving above Matrix , we get

`L_5 = 0.175m`

v)To find the Modal Participation factor - `Γn`

We know that ,

`Γn = (L_n)/M_n`

So put the value of `L_5 = 0.175m` and `M_5 = 3.861m`

we get ,

`:.Γ_5 = (0.175m)/(3.861m)`

`:.Γ_5 = 0.045`

vi) To calculate the Effective Modal Mass

we know that ,

`M_n^ ** = (L_n^2)/(M_n)`

put the value of `L_5 = 0.175 m` and `M_5 = 3.861m`

`:.M_5^ ** = (0.175m)^2/(3.861m)`

`:.M_5^ ** = 0.007 m`

vii) To calculate the modal mass participating ratio -

we know that ,

Modal mass participating ratio is given by = It is ratio of Effective Modal mass (`M_n^**`) to the Total Mass (mj)

= `(M_n^**) / (m_j)`

So Total mass of 5 storey = m+m+m+m+m

= 5m

`:.M_5^** / m_j`

= `(0.007m) / (5m)`

= `0.0014 = 0.14%`

viii) To find out the base shear -

Now we have to calculate the Base Shear (`V_b`)

We know that ,

`V_b = M_5^** *A_5`

To calculate A5 value refer the following graph

i.e Pseudo spectral acceleration vs Time period

we get value of A5 in terms of Pseudo acceleration

So , For T5 = 0.2966 sec

A4 = 1.03 g ( From graph )

`:.V_b = M_5^** *A_5`

`:.V_b = 0.007m^** *1.03g`

`:.V_(b_5) = 0.0072 mg`

3) Now we have to calculate the Combine base shear by using SRSS method

`V_b = sqrt [V_(b_1)^2 + V_(b_2)^2 + V_(b_3)^2 + V_(b_4)^2 + V_(b_5)^2`

put the Values of

`V_(b_1) = 1.187`

`V_(b_2) = 0.33`

`V_(b_3) = 0.126`

`V_(b_4) = 0.031`

`V_(b_5) = 0.0072`

Substitute the base shear values in above eqn

`V_b = sqrt [1.187^2 + 0.33^2 + 0.126^2 + 0.031^2 +0.0072^2`

`:.V_b = 1.22mg`

4) How many modes are to be considered such that a modal mass participating ratio of 90% is obtained?

From above results we can say that

Only 2 modes of Modal participation is required to obtained above 90%

`:.`Modal Participation of node 1 + Modal Participation of node 2 = 88% + 8.72%

= 96.72%

Results -

i) The combined Base Shear is calculated by using SRSS method is = 1.22mg

ii) Two modes are to be considered such that a modal mass participating ratio of 90% is obtained .
