Understanding the concepts on Degrees of Freedom
1. Mass matrix (m) =

2. Modified mass matrix (M) = 

For the first mode (n=1) =

Similarly M2 (n=2)

Similarly M3 (n=3)

- Modal property (L) = Øn T.m.l
For the first mode (n=1) =
Similarly
For (n=2)
For (N=2)
= -0.895-1.173-0.641+0.334+1.078
= Ans – (-1.297)
For (n=3)
= 1.173+0.334-1.078-0.641+0.895
= Ans – (0.683).
For (n=4)
= -1.078+0.895+0.334-1.173+0.641
= Ans – (-0.381).
For (n=5)
= 0.641-1.078+1.173-0.895+0.334
= Ans – (0.175).
- 4. Modal participation factor ( Γ ) = L/M
For the first mode, Γ = L1/M1
Γ1 = 4.121/3.864
Γ1 = 1.067
Similarly
Γ2 = -1.297/3.86
Γ2 = -0.336
Γ3 = 0.683/3.862
Γ3 = 0.177
Γ4 = -0.381/3.86
Γ4 = -0.098
Γ5 = 0.175/3.86
Γ5 = 0.045
- Effective modal mass (M*) =Ln2/Mn
For the first mode (n=1), M1* =L12/M1
M1* =(4.121m)2 /3.864
M1* =4.395m
Similarly
For (n=2)
M2*= (-1.297m)2 /3.86
M2* = 0.436m
For (n=3)
M3* = (0.683m)2 /3.862
M3* = 0.121m
For (n=4)
M4* = (-0.381m)2 /3.862
M4* = 0.038m
For (n=5)
M5*= (0.175m)2 /3.86
M5* = 0.008m
- Modal mass participation ratio = M1 /mj
mj = m+m+m+m+m = 5m
Modal mass participation ratio of first mode (n=1) = 4.395/5 = 0.88
Similarly for Second mode (n=2) = 0.436/ 5 = 0.09
Third mode (n=3) = 0.121/ 5 = 0.024
Fourth mode (n=4) = 0.038/ 5 = 0.01
Fifth mode (n=5) = 0.008/ 5 = 0.002
Adding first and second mode ie = 0.88+0.09 = 0.97
In order to achieve minimum 90% modal mass participation ration , First and second modes are sufficient.
- Base shear (Vb ) = Mn *. Aj
For the first mode, VB1 = 4.395mx 0.27g
(n=1) = 1.187 mg
Similarly for VB2 = 0.436mx0.75g
= 0.327mg
Similarly for VB3 = 0.121mx 1.04g
= 0.126mg
Similarly for VB4 = 0.038 mx 1.01g
= 0.039mg
Similarly for VB5 = 0.008mx 1.00g
= 0.008mg
- Average base shear is calculated by the method of SRSS
