Response spectrum analysis
For the modal parameters considered, the following
factors are determined for each mode
Mode participation factor of each mode Pi
Mass participation factor for each mode Mi
Spectral Acceleration coefficient (Sa/g)

The Design horizontal seismic coefficient Ai is

calculated for each mode from

=

Zone factor Z
Importance factor I
Response reduction coefficient R
Spectral Acceleration coefficient Sa/g
Response spectrum analysis (cont):
Where the Horizontal acceleration Sa/g is determined
from the Response spectrum curve
Lateral Force
The lateral force due to the modal response (considering the
mode participation factor) is obtained for each mode of all
the modes considered. The force at each level for each mode
is calculated as:

fji = Ai fji Pi Mj
Where
Ai is the design horizontal seismic coefficient mode-i
fji is the mode shape value for that floor level-j at mode-i
Pi is mode participation factor for mode-i = L/M
Mj is mass at that floor level-j
Check Mass Participation
For ith mode,

Where, n = number of levels

m = number of modes
j = level jth of floor
