Question
Assignment #7:
Analyze the 10-story structure of Assignment #5 under gravity, wind, and seismic loads. The
analysis can be done using any structural program such as Sap, Etabs, or another program of
your choice capable of performing analysis, including modal (spectral) analysis.
The details of the building to be analyzed are given in Assignment #5. For wind analysis assume
urban terrain. For your steel framing use the following sections.
Floor
Section
Beams
-
1st Floor 10th Floor
W14x38
-
1st Floor 5th Floor
W24x117
Columns
-
6th Floor 10th Floor
W24x76
Any information not given can be assumed for the buildings. You can assume your floor
diaphragms are rigid in plane and can distribute the forces accordingly. The final deliverable
results are the structural model of the building as well as a written report. The results of the
project should be summarized in the report. You should perform the following tasks:
1. Perform modal analysis. Report the first 15 modal periods and modal mass participation
factors. How many modes are required to describe the building response?
2. Analyze the building under the following loading scenarios. Practically, apply the relevant
loads for each case and use the right load combinations:
2.1. Under gravity load combinations only
2.2. Under gravity and wind load combinations.
2.3. Under gravity and seismic load combinations.
i. Using Equivalent Lateral Force procedure (ELF)
ii. Using Modal Response Spectrum analysis
For ELF and wind loading scenarios, apply the floor forces that you have hand calculated in
Assignments #5 and #6 to your model to review the building response. For Modal Response
Spectrum analysis, apply the seismic force using the Response Spectrum function of the
software.
For your results, include:
•
•
.
List of project information and relevant analysis information – short description.
Diagram of seismic story shear and bending through the height of the building (two
methods, one equivalent lateral force method, one the spectral analysis results from
computer model).
Comparison of story shears and overturning moment from wind and seismic forces (both
ELF and Modal Response Spectrum).
Use appropriate load factor per code for wind and seismic loads. Pay special attention to
using load factors for wind that are consistent with the return period used for wind
according to the version of ASCE 7 that you are using.) ❖ Assignment to be submitted in electronic format.
❖ Report, and models of the building to be uploaded to courseworks.
❖ Note: In lieu of reading from the maps in the code, Wind and seismic information for your
location can be obtained from https://hazards.atcouncil.org/. Note that you need to pick the
seismic and wind data with the right return period/corresponding to the right version of the
code. Pay particular attention to using load factors that are consistent with the wind return
period.
