Lecture # 08

Period from Method B, COM/COR and


Modal Analysis

Organized by Dr.Aslam Faqeer Mohammad 116


Period Calculation by Method B
Example-05 (Natural Period/Fundamental Period)
A three story, steel moment resisting frame with the properties shown in figure, height
of 36 feet and with a damping ratio of five percent is located on a site in zone 3 with a
soil profile type SD. Calculate the period of vibration by using UBC method A and method
B?

Organized by Dr.Aslam Faqeer Mohammad 117


Period Calculation by Method B

V = CvI/RT SW

R = 8.5 for special moment resisting frame


I = 1.0
Cv =0.54
Wtotal = 1000+ 1000+ 1000 = 3000kips

V = 0.54x1/(8.5x0.51)x3000 = 374 kips

Organized by Dr.Aslam Faqeer Mohammad 118


Period Calculation by Method B
V = CvI/RT SW

Ft = 0.0 since T < 0.7 sec

Fx = (V-Ft) wxhx/ Swxhx

Center of Mass and Center of Rigidity
(COM and COR)

Organized by Dr.Aslam Faqeer Mohammad 124


Center of Mass (COM)

The Center of Mass in a floor is the point where


the whole mass of the floor is acting including
the superimposed dead loads. It is also known
as a center of application of lateral forces.

Organized by Dr.Aslam Faqeer Mohammad 125


Center of Stiffness/ COR

Story lateral stiffness center or Center of


Stiffness or Center of Rigidity (COR) corresponds
to the point where the floor diaphragm will tend
to rotate about a vertical axis when the
structure subjected to the lateral forces.

Organized by Dr.Aslam Faqeer Mohammad 126


Center of Stiffness/ COR

Organized by Dr.Aslam Faqeer Mohammad 127


Center of Stiffness/ COR

The location of the story lateral stiffness center


in plan should be calculated using the lateral
stiffness of the walls only, disregarding the
stiffness contribution of the columns of the
structure.

Organized by Dr.Aslam Faqeer Mohammad 128


Center of Stiffness/ COR
Lateral stiffness Kx and Ky of structural walls should be computed using
the following equations both in principal directions x and y.
For walls with length lw parallel to the x-axis,
Kx = bw3 lw / hpi and Ky = lw3 bw / hpi

bw = width of wall, lw = length of wall and hpi = height of wall.


For walls with length lw parallel to the y-axis,
Kx = lw3 bw / hpi and Ky = bw3 lw / hpi
