DYNAMIC ANALYSIS USING RESPONSE SPECTRUM METHOD

Dynamic Analysis shall be performed to obtain the design Seismic force, and its
distribution to different levels along the height of the building and to various lateral load
resisting elements for the following buildings:

(a) Regular Buildings:

Height > 90m in zones II & III.
>40m in zones IV & V
(b) Irregular Buildings: All framed buildings
Height > 40m in zones II & III.
>12m in zones IV & V
Types of Dynamic Analysis:
Dynamic Analysis may be performed by
1. Response Spectrum Method
2. Time History Method
Response Spectrum Method:
Qik =Ak ⱷik Pk Wi .

User will provide Ak and Wi. In these Ak can be provided by specifying Seismic
parameter configuration.
Wi can be provided by specifying Selfweight contribution in X, Y, Z direction with
factor 1 and dead load and appropriate live load in all three direction.
Response Spectrum Method of analysis shall be performed using the Design Spectrum
Ah= Z I Sa
2 R g
STAAD utilizes following procedure to generate the lateral seismic loads:
 User provides the value of Z I as factors for input spectrum.
2 R
 Program calculates time periods for first 15 modes or as specified by the user.
(earlier 6 modes)
  Program calculates Sa/g for each mode utilizing time period & 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.
Rules for Spectrum Load in STAAD
 Response spectrum Load definition you have to define within Seismic Load
definition.
 If you have to define all other load cases before defining this definition.
Design of seismic shear (VB)
Total design seismic base shear VB also any principal direction is given by
VB= Ah W

Ah= Design horizontal acceleration spectrum value

Ah= (Z/2) (I/R) (Sa/g)

W= Seismic weight of building
= Dead load + appropriate amount of imposed load.

Note:
1. Live load upto and including 3.0 KN/m2 =25% of imposed load.
2. Live load > 3.0KN/m2 = 50% of imposed load.
 3. For calculating design seismic forces imposed load on roof need not be
considered.

 Eigen solution -Fundamental frequency
 Response Spectrum Load
 Peak Storey Shear
 Peak Storey Shear Torsion
 Modal base actions
 Mass Participation factors in percent
 Analysis Results
 Joint Nodal Displacement
 Member forces
 Reactions forces
 Storey Drift.
By reviewing the results, if the modes are very close, change the SRSS Method to CQC
method.
Also see whether the mass participation factor is more than 90% as per code.
Check whether Missing weight is Dynamic Weight – Modal Weight.
Also check the design base shear VB is compared with the base shear Vb.
If VB is less than Vb, multiply the value of X by (0.036) x Vb/VB as per clause 7.8.2
and again Run the analysis once again to get accurate results.
