- Ln, Mn, and Γn for each of the five modes are to be computed from the Equations below.
- 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 the SRSS rule. The pseudo acceleration design spectrum to obtain the base shear for each mode is provided below.

Now, to find out the base shear for mode 4, all the values of the seismic forces can be added.
I.e., Vb4=0.109W−0.091W−0.034W+0.119W−0.065W=0.038WVb4=0.109W-0.091W-0.034W+0.119W-0.065W=0.038W
Vb4Vb4 can also be calculated by finding out the effective modal mass, MnMn*
M4M4*=(Ln)2Mn=(−0.381m)23.86m=0.037m(Ln)2Mn=(-0.381m)23.86m=0.037m
Hence, modal mass participating ratio, Mn∗mMn∗m for mode 4 = 0.037m5m=0.0074=0.74%0.037m5m=0.0074=0.74%
Vb4=MnVb4=Mn*⋅An=0.037m×1.03g=0.038mg=0.038W⋅An=0.037m×1.03g=0.038mg=0.038W

Vb5Vb5 can also be calculated by finding out the effective modal mass, MnMn*
M5M5*=(Ln)2Mn=(0.175m)23.86m=0.0079m(Ln)2Mn=(0.175m)23.86m=0.0079m
Hence, modal mass participating ratio, Mn∗mMn∗m for mode 5 = 0.0079m5m=0.0016=0.16%0.0079m5m=0.0016=0.16%

Hence, Base shear has been obtained for 5 modes of vibration.
Now, Combined base shear by SRSS Rule.
Vb=√(Vb1)2+(Vb2)2+(Vb3)2+(Vb4)2+(Vb5)2=√(1.187W)2+(0.331W)2+(0.125W)2+(0.038W)2+(0.008W)2=1.239WVb=(Vb1)2+(Vb2)2+(Vb3)2+(Vb4)2+(Vb5)2=(1.187W)2+(0.331W)2+(0.125W)2+(0.038W)2+(0.008W)2=1.239W
Vb=1.239WVb=1.239W
Total mass of building= 5m
Total effective modal mass= 4.397+0.436+0.121+0.037+0.0079= 4.9989m ≈≈5m
Hence Total mass of the building is verified.
Now, The Modal mass participation ratios obtained is:
Mode 1- 88%
Mode 2- 8.7%
Mode 3- 2.4%
Mode 4- 0.74%
Mode 5- 0.16%
From the above values, it is clear that the sum of mode 1 & mode 2 will exceed 90% .
I.e., 88% + 8.7% = 96.7%
