Note: After the phase of forced vibration (due to external force or base excitation, or initial conditions), the structure continues to vibrate in a “free vibration” mode till it stops due to damping. The ratio between amplitude in two successive cycles is ui e 2 px u i 1

Deformation Response Spectrum For a given EQ excitation calculate |umax| from SDOF response with a certain x and within a range of natural periods or frequencies. |umax| for each frequency will be found from the computed u(t) history at this frequency. A plot of |umax| vs. natural period is constructed representing the deformation (or displacement) response spectrum (Sd). From this figure, one can directly read the maximum relative displacement of any structure of natural period T (and a particular value of x as damping)

Example Units for natural frequency calculation (SI units) Weight = 9.81 kN = 9810 N = 9810 kg (m /s2) Gravity (g) = 9.81m/s2 Mass (m) = W/g = 9180/9.81 = 1000 kg Stiffness (k) = 81 kN/m = 81000 N/m = 81000 kg (m/s2)/m = kg /s2 w = SQRT (k/m) = SQRT (81000/1000) = 9 radians/sec f = w / (2 p) =
1.43 Hz (units of 1/s or cycles/sec)
Units for natural frequency calculation (English units) Weight (W) = 193.2 Tons = 193.2 (2000) = 386,400 lbs = 386.4 kips g = 386.4 in/sec/sec (or in/s2) Mass (m) = W/g = 1.0 kips s2 /in Stiffness (k) =
144 kips/in
w =SQRT (k/m) = 12 radians/sec f = w / (2 p) =
1.91 Hz (units of 1/s or cycles/sec)
Note: The weight of an object is the force of gravity on the object and may be defined as the mass times the acceleration of gravity, w = mg. Weight is what is measured by a scale (e.g., weight of a person). Since the weight is a force, its SI unit is Newton. 13

Concept of Equivalent lateral force fs If fs is applied as a static force, it would cause the deformation u. Thus at any instant of time: fs = ku(t) , or in terms of the mass fs(t) = mw2u(t) The maximum force will be f s,max mw2 u max ku max

Inspection of this figure shows that the maximum response at short period (high frequency stiff structure) is controlled by the ground acceleration, low frequency (long period) by ground displacement, and intermediate period by ground velocity.

Note that response spectrum for relative velocity may be obtained from the SDOF response history, and similarly for üt =(ü+üg). These spectra are known as relative velocity and total acceleration response spectra, and are different from the pseudo velocity and pseudo acceleration spectra S v and S a (which are directly related to S d). e.g. for x = 0 % m(ü+üg) + k u = 0 or (ü+üg) + w2u = 0 From: Chopra, Dynamics of Structures

Elastic Design Spectrum Use recorded ground motions (available)
From: Chopra, Dynamics of Structures
Use ground motions recorded at similar sites: Magnitude of earthquake Distance of site form earthquake fault Fault mechanism Local Soil Conditions Geology/travel path of seismic waves Motions recorded at the same location. For design, we need an envelope. One way is to take the average (mean) of these values (use statistics to define curves for mean and standard deviation, see next page)

As an alternative Empirical approach, the periods shown on the this Figure and the values in the Table can be used to construct a Median elastic design spectrum (or a Median + one Sigma), where Sigma is the Standard Deviation. For any geographic location, these spectra are built based on an estimate of peak ground acceleration, velocity, and displacement as this location. From: Chopra, Dynamics of Structures
The periods and values in Table 6.9.1 were selected to give a good match to a statistical curve such as Figure 6.9.2 based on an ensemble of 50 earthquakes on competent soils.
