Question: For the 3 - storey building from H W # 3 , and the 5 % damping displacement response spectrum from El Centro, please answer

For the 3-storey building from HW#3, and the 5% damping displacement response spectrum from El
Centro, please answer the following questions:
If the natural periods and modes are as shown below, calculate:
a) The maximum displacements
b) Storey forces
c) Base shear
d) Overturning moments
Use Pseudo-Accelerations where appropriate
For the response spectrum with period spacing of 0.1s, use linear interpolation to
determine spectral values
Use the SRSS method for modal combinations
If a modal test was performed and the natural periods of the building were found to be
Ta=[0.3150.1980.135]
and assuming that the mode shapes are the same, how does that change the response
values computed in part 1)?
If the building is damaged in an earthquake event, what do you expect to happen to the period
values? If the damage occurs early in a long duration event, what do you expect to happen to
the forces and overturning moments for the remainder of the shaking?
References:
Use El Centro RS.txt from FTP server. Spectral displacements (cm) with period spacing =0.02s.
For question #1 use:
