  • 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.

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

AIM:

We know that Weight (newton), W=mg, and this can be substituted in the above equation.

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

For mode 5:

Now, we have to obtain the transformed mass matrix for mode 5: M5=ΦT5mΦ5M5=Φ5TmΦ5

I.e., M5=[0.641−1.0781.173−0.8950.334]⋅⎡⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢⎣m00000m00000m00000m00000m⎤⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥⎦⋅ ⎡⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢⎣0.641−1.0781.173−0.8950.334⎤⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥⎦M5=[0.641-1.0781.173-0.8950.334]⋅[m00000m00000m00000m00000m]⋅ [0.641-1.0781.173-0.8950.334]

M5=3.86mM5=3.86m

Now, we need to find the modal property, LnLn.

Ln=ΦTnmιLn=ΦnTmι

Where, ι=ι= Influence matrix which is a unit matrix, ⎡⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢⎣11111⎤⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥⎦[11111]

Γ5=0.175m3.86m=0.045Γ5=0.175m3.86m=0.045

Now, to find out the base shear for mode 5, all the values of the seismic forces can be added.

I.e., Vb5=0.029W−0.049W+0.054W−0.041W+0.015W=0.008WVb5=0.029W-0.049W+0.054W-0.041W+0.015W=0.008W

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%

Vb5=MnVb5=Mn*⋅An=0.0079m×1.03g=0.008mg=0.008W⋅An=0.0079m×1.03g=0.008mg=0.008W

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%
