Aspects of Computer Model (Cont)
A model must ideally represent the complete three
dimensional (3D) characteristics of the building,
including
geometry
stiffness of various members
supports
load distribution
mass distribution

12
Seismic Analysis of Multi-storied RC Building Presented by Rahul Leslie
Beams and columns
Beams and columns are modelled by frame elements
Plinth beams should also be modelled as beams
Slabs are not usually modelled

13
Seismic Analysis of Multi-storied RC Building Presented by Rahul Leslie
Supports:
The type of support to be provided is decided by
considering the degree of fixity provided by the
foundation.

Fixed Supports:
Raft foundation: Support to be provided at the column
ends (located at top of the raft)
Pile cap for multiple piles: Support to be provided at the
column ends (located at top of the pile cap)
Isolated footing: When it is founded on hard rock, the
column end may be modelled as fixed (located at the top
of the footing)
Single pile: Fixed support of the column is recommended
at a depth of five to ten times the diameter of pile,
depending upon the type of soil, from the top of pile cap.
14
Seismic Analysis of Multi-storied RC Building Presented by Rahul Leslie
Supports (cont):
Pinned supports:
Isolated footing: Support to be provided at the column
ends, (located at the bottom of the foundation).

Spring supports:
Spring supports can be provided with spring constants ,
eg., as per ASCE/SEI 41(2006)

In General
Engineering judgement must be exercised in modelling the
support

15
Seismic Analysis of Multi-storied RC Building Presented by Rahul Leslie
Slabs and Masonry walls
The weight of slabs are distributed, as 2-way load, on
the supporting beams.
The weight of masonry walls are applied as uniform
load on the supporting beam

16

Slabs and Masonry walls
Since the slabs are not modelled by plate elements, the
structural effect due to their in-plane stiffness (7.7.2.1,
IS:1893(Part 1)-2002) can be taken into account by
using Master/Slave option (STAAD.Pro)
assigning Diaphragm action (ETABS , STAAD.Pro V8i
Sel.4)

Response Spectrum Method


(Dynamic Analysis)

66
Seismic Analysis of Multi-storied RC Building Presented by Rahul Leslie
Response spectrum analysis:
Response spectrum analysis is performed using multi-
mode responses, where the free vibration modes are
computed using
Eigen vector analysis (STAAD.Pro)
Eigen vector or Ritz Vector analysis (ETABS)
The modal parameters for a structure come as pairs of
Natural Frequency f (in Hz)
Mode shape
The modal parameters for few of the lower frequencies
are considered for further calculations (7.8.4.2,
IS:1893(Part 1)-2002), based on the following;
Modes for frequencies > 33 Hz need not be considered
The no. of modes considered should be such that the total
mass participation factor should be at least 90%
Missing mass correction for modes beyond 33Hz 67
Seismic Analysis of Multi-storied RC Building Presented by Rahul Leslie
Response spectrum analysis (cont):
For the modal parameters considered, the following
factors are determined for each mode
Mode participation factor of each mode Pk
Mass participation factor for each mode Mk
Spectral Acceleration coefficient (Sa/g)

The Design horizontal seismic coefficient Ah is


calculated for each mode from (6.4.2, IS:1893(Part 1)-

Response spectrum analysis (cont):
The lateral force due to the modal response
(considering the mode participation factor) is obtained
for each mode of all the modes considered. The the
force at each level for each mode is calculated as
(7.8.4.5 (c), IS:1893(Part 1)-2002):

Where
Ak is the design horizontal seismic coefficient
ik is the mode shape value for that floor level
Pk is mode participation factor

STAAD.Pro V8i SELECT 4
(1) Dominant mode:
When activated, all modal combination results will
have the same sign as the dominant mode shape alone
would have if it were excited and then the scaled
results were used as a static displacements result.

(2) Signed value:


This option results in the creation of signed values for
all results. The sum of squares of positive values from
the modes are compared to sum of squares of negative
values from the modes. If the negative values are
larger, the result is given a negative sign.

Combination of modal responses:

1. Absolute Combination (ABS)


The modal responses of all the individual modes are
summed up (to be used in modal combination as per
IS:1893-1984) :

Eg. for level 7,


ABS = 1.178 + -0.69 + 0.335 + -0.08 + 0.035 = 2.318

102
Seismic Analysis of Multi-storied RC Building Presented by Rahul Leslie
Combination of modal responses (cont):

2. Square Root of Sum of Squares (SRSS)


The modal responses are squared, summed, and the root of
the sum taken:

Eg. for level 7,


SRSS = [(1.178)2 + (-0.69)2 + (0.335)2 + (-0.08)2 + (0.035)2] = 1.409

Seismic Analysis of Multi-storied RC Building Presented by Rahul Leslie
Directional combination of modal responses:

As per IS:1893, directional combination need to be


done only when the lateral load resisting members
are not oriented along horizontal orthogonal
directions (6.3.2.2, IS:1893(Part 1)-2002)

117

The method combines the directional components by
SRSS method. The method is prescribed in IS:1893-2002
as an alternative to SAS method

2. Scaled Absolute Sum method (SAS)


The method combines the directional components by sum
of values in one direction, with 0.3 times the sum of values

Selection of method (7.8.1, IS:1893(Part 1)-2002) :
When the structure is irregular as
per Table 4, IS:1893(Part 1)-2002, the
method of dynamic analysis with
masses lumped at floor levels, as
per 7.8.4.5, IS:1893(Part 1)-2002,

Soft Stories (7.10, IS:1893(Part 1)-2002) :
A soft storey is one in which the lateral stiffness is
less than 70 percent of that in the storey above or
less than 80 percent of the average lateral stiffness
of the three storeys above (4.20, IS:1893(Part 1)-2002)

Soft Stories (7.10, IS:1893(Part 1)-2002) :
In case of buildings with soft stories,
Dynamic analysis of building be carried out including the
strength and stiffness effects of infills, and the members
designed accordingly (7.10.2, IS:1893(Part 1)-2002)

Alternatively,
Columns and beams of the soft storey be designed for 2.5 times
forces obtained by analysis
Shear walls of the soft storey be designed for 1.5 times forces
obtained by analysis
(7.10.3, IS:1893(Part 1)-2002)

189
Seismic Analysis of Multi-storied RC Building Presented by Rahul Leslie
Separation Between Adjacent Units
(7.11.3, IS:1893(Part 1)-2002) :
To avoid damaging contact when the two units deflect towards
each other
Separation equal to R/2 times the sum of the calculated storey
displacements as per 7.11.1, IS:1893(Part 1)-2002 (ie., with
partial load factor of 1.0) of each of them.

Separation equal to R times the sum of the calculated storey


displacements, when floor levels of the adjacent units or
buildings are not at the same elevation levels.

Concluding remarks
The best way to implement advanced seismic analysis
techniques is through an analysis software package.
To use a software package, one has to know it
More importantly, one has to know its limitations,
Still more important, one has to know its pitfalls.
Software Demonstrators/Instructors may tell you the
limitations, but not the pitfalls. Mostly it can be learned
only through experience.
The user should have a good base in Seismic Analysis &
Design, and Structural Dynamics. Also a basic
understanding of FEM is desirable (but not necessary).
Also one has to know the code provisions, and have them
ready reference (IS:456, SP 34, IS:1893, IS:13920, IS:875
Part-I, II, III)
