Dynamic analysis

The dynamic analysis of the structure is carried out three-dimensional as provided in the Earthquake Code.

The method used in the determination of modal values in the dynamic analysis is the Vianello Stodola method. The free vibration calculation of single mass systems can be made definitely by this method. First, the flexibility matrix belong to the lateral displacement components of the structure in the related seismic direction is formed. Afterwards, the building mass matrix is obtained by the story weights. Starting out from these two matrices and the initial characteristic vector, special angular frequency and characteristic vectors for every mode are obtained as a result of consecutive approach calculations. The obtained characteristic vectors are normalized by means of certain coefficients. Thus, the normalized free vibration modes and special angular frequencies and periods of the structure are determined.

Generally the below sequence is followed when dynamic analysis by modal superposition method is performed:

The number of modes to be considered in the dynamic analysis are determined.

The lateral stiffness matrix of the structure is formed. The necessary arrangements are made on this matrix and the non-vibrating vertical displacements and rotations are eliminated. Thus, the reduced stiffness matrix response of vibrations in the story slab perpendicular to each other is obtained. If desired, the vibrations of the structure can be reduced to a single direction in the horizontal plane.

The diagonal mass matrix is formed.

Special angular frequencies are calculated for every mode by means of reduced lateral stiffness matrix and diagonal mass matrix for the structure.

The characteristic vectors are found by means of iteration.

The necessary division coefficients for normalization are found and the contribution coefficients of the modes are calculated.

The maximum behavior spectral accelerations for every mode are calculated or read from the curve.

The modal loads acting on the story level are found for every mode.

The maximum story loads are calculated for every story by CQC (Complete Quadratic Combination) method.

It’s continued to the system analysis under lateral loads by the obtained story loads (for both two directions), considering the minimum story torsion condition.
