SEISMIC ANALYSIS USING LUMPED MASS METHOD

STEPS INVOLVED:
1. Creation of Geometry
2. Giving Member Property
3. Support Condition
4. Giving Loads :
Load 1 Dead Load
Load 2 Live Load
5. Specifying Analysis Type
6. Post Analysis Print
7. Design
8. Analysis.
(1) In this complete steps 1 to 6. Then follow the further steps for Lumped
Mass.
There are two parts.
Part 1 : Finding Joint Loads for Earth quake analysis.
Part 2: Applying Earthquake analysis.
Before Proceeding take a copy of Model created from step 1 to 6.

Part 1: To find Joint Loads:

1.To give pinned supports at column nodes except base nodes:

Main menu  Select  Beams parallel to Y
Main menu View View selected objects only.
Main menuCommands Support specifications  Pinned  Assign.
 2. Apply Load:
(1) In Seismic Load for finding joint load we have to consider the following
Load case as per Table 8 (Clause 7.3.1 )of IS 1893-2002.
1.0DL+0.25LL (If LL<3KN/m2)
1.0DL+0.50LL (If LL>3KN/m2)
Main menu Edit Edit input command file
In Load case below Live Load type the following:
Load Combination 3
1 1 2 0.25
Perform Analysis
Load List 3
Print Support Reaction
(2) Main Menu Analysis  Run Analysis Done.
(3) Main Menu View Tables  □ Support Reaction.
From support reaction Select only Joint No. and Force FY.
Copy and Paste the Joint No. and vertical reaction at the pinned supports
in a separate file named as “Joint Load “file.
 Type Weight in between Joint No. and Force Fy as below:
16 WEIGHT 81.47
Close the File.
Part 2 : Applying Earthquake Analysis:
Go to original file of Model created from step 1 to 6. Then follow the steps
below:
DEFINING SEISMIC LOAD:
1. Main menu CommandsLoading  DefinitionsSeismic Load IS1893-
2002
2.Seismic Parameter screen will appear. Select type:IS1893-2002.

□ Include Accidental Load

□ Generate .
3. IS1893-2002 Seismic Parameter screen will appear.
Select city or Zone. For Zone III Z=0.16 (Table 2 IS1893-2002)
Response Reduction Factor (RF) : (Table 7 IS1893-2002)
: 5 for SMRF
: 3 for OMRF
Importance Factor (I) : (Table 6 IS1893-2002)
: 1 for Ordinary Residential Building
: 1.5 for Important Building
Other Factors:
Rock or Soil sites Factor (SS) : (Clause 6.4.5 of IS1893-2002)
: 1 for hard soil (N>30)
: 2 for medium soil (10≤ N ≤ 30) for all soils.
: 3 for soft soils (N< 10)
Type of Structure (ST) (Optional) : (Clause 7.6 IS1893-2002)
=1 for RC Frame Building
 = 2 for Steel Frame Building
= 3 for all other Building
Damping Ratio (DM) (Table 3 IS1893-2002): 0.05%
PX =Period in X Direction (Optional):
PZ =Period in Z Direction (Optional):
□ Generate  Add  Close.

4. Go to “ Joint Load” file .Copy the Joint Weight and apply them as
Seismic Weights. For this go to
Main menu Edit Edit Input Command file.
Below the Zone factor, copy and paste the JOINT WEIGHT as in the Joint Load
file.
1. Edit the Load case No.1 (Dead Load) and 2(Live Load) as Load case No. 5 &
6.
2. APPLYING SEISMIC LOAD:
(1) Click Load case details in the Data Area Add.
Number: 1 Loading Type: Seismic
Tittle : Seismic X +ve  Add.
Click Load Case 1  Add
Seismic Load  X Direction. Factor 1  Add.  Close.
(2) Click Load case details in the Data Area Add.

Tittle : Seismic X -ve  Add.
Click Load Case 2  Add
Seismic Load  X Direction. Factor:- 1  Add.  Close.
(3) Click Load case details in the Data Area Add.
Number: 3 Loading Type: Seismic
Tittle : Seismic Z +ve  Add.
Click Load Case 1  Add
Seismic Load  Z Direction. Factor 1  Add.  Close.
(4) Click Load case details in the Data Area Add.
Number: 4 Loading Type: Seismic
