Question: For the structural systems below ( Figure 1 ( a ) and ( b ) ) , determine: a ) Find the natural period of

For the structural systems below (Figure 1(a) and (b)), determine:
a) Find the natural period of vibration for the conventional system.
b) Find the natural period of vibration for the isolated system.
c) Use the Design Spectra (Figure 2) and determine the structure spectral acceleration
(conventional and isolated structures).
d) Considering the results from item b, determine the maximum displacement (conventional and
isolated structures).
e) Considering the results form item b, determine the maximum system base shear (conventional
and isolated structures).
f) Considering the results from item d, determine the maximum system overturning moment
(conventional and isolated structures).
Damping ratio =2% for conventional structure and 10% for isolated structure;
Isolator transverse translational stiffness =4200kNm.
Note: Consider that the bearing's vertical stiffness is infinitely rigid, and the bearing's rotational
and torsional stiffness are negligible.
For the structural systems below ( Figure 1 ( a )
