Response Spectrum Analysis As Per Indian IS: 1893 (Part 1) - 2002
PART 2
Methodology
The design lateral shear force at each floor in each mode is computed by
STAAD in accordance with the IS: 1893 (Part 1) -2002
User Input
Qik = Ak*fik*Pk*Wi
User Input
STAAD utilizes the following procedure to
generate the lateral seismic loads.
𝑍 𝐼
User provides the value for x as factors for input spectrum
2 𝑅
Program calculates time periods for first six modes or as specified by
the user.
Program calculates Sa/g for each mode utilizing time period and
damping for each mode.
The program calculates design horizontal acceleration spectrum Ak for
different modes.
The program then calculates mode participation factor for different
modes.
The peak lateral seismic force at each floor in each mode is
calculated.
All response quantities for each mode are calculated.
The peak response quantities are then combined as per method (CQC
or SRSS or ABS or TEN or CSM) as defined by the user to get the final
results.
The design base shear VB (calculated from the Response Spectrum method) is
compared with the base shear Vb (calculated by empirical formula for the
fundamental time period).
If VB is less than Vb, all of the response quantities are multiplied by Vb /VB as
per Clause 7.8.2.
How STAAD Calculates of Base Shear in
RS Analysis
The base shear, for a given mode for a given direction, reported in the
response spectrum analysis is obtained as
VB = X*Y*Z*D
where
X = Mass participation factor for that mode for that direction
Y = Total mass specified for that direction
Z = Spectral acceleration for that mode
D = direction factor specified in that load case
BMD for RS Load Case
The member forces are computed correctly only at the 2 ends of the
member.
The sign of these forces cannot be determined because the method
used to combine the contribution of modes cancels the signs.
Force values do not necessarily occur at the same instant of time.
STAAD plots a straight line joining the max. bending moment values at
start and end joints of member, absolute (positive) values.
What is the Scale Factor to be provided
when specifying a Response Spectra?
Spectrum data consists of pairs of values which are Period vs. Accn. or Period
vs. Displacement.
The acceleration or displacement values obtained for that site may have been
provided to you as normalized values or un-normalized values.
Normalization means that the values of acceleration or displacement have
been divided by a normalization factor.
One of the commonly used normalization factors is 'g', the acceleration due to
gravity.
If the spectrum data you specified is normalized, provide the NORMALIZATION
FACTOR as the SCALE FACTOR.
If your spectrum data is un-normalized, there is no need to provide a scale
factor. Default value of one will be used then.
Make sure that the value you provide for the SCALE FACTOR is matching the
length units you have specified. So if the scale factor is 'g‘ and length is in
meter, provide value 9.81 ~ 10.
STAAD will multiply the spectral acceleration or spectral displacement values
by the scale factor.
Direction Factor
SPECTRUM SRSS X 0.7 Y 0.5 Z 0.65 DISP DAMP 0.05 SCALE 32.2
Period is determined for each mode.
Spectral displacement (Sa/g) for that mode is read by interpolating the
response spectrum plot.
Spectral displacement “Sa/g" for each direction is multiplied with associated
Direction factor. D
The X direction spectral displacement = “Sa/g" * 0.1822
The Y direction spectral displacement = “Sa/g" * 0.5
The Z direction spectral displacement = “Sa/g" * 0.65
How to obtain critical value from the
design standpoint?
Create 2 load combination cases for every spectrum case. For example, if the
dead load case is 1, and the spectrum load case is 2, you could create
LOAD COMB 3
1 1.1 2 1.3
LOAD COMB 4
1 1.1 2 -1.3
Use the critical value from amongst these 2 load combination cases for design
purposes.
Thus considering a positive effect as well as the negative effect of the
spectrum load case.
Obtain vertical distribution of the total base
shear in a RS analysis, like in Static
Procedure.
