The building shown has a large reciprocating engine located at level 1. Using the following data,
compute the maximum shearing forces that columns must resist on each floor. Using El Centro NS
components
W3=193 k
k3=100 k/in.
W2=386 k
k2=100 k/in.
W1=386 k
k1=100 k/in.

A) Determine the natural frequency, natural periods, and the corresponding mode shapes.
B) Verify that the modes are orthogonal as expected.
C) Normalize the first mode with respect to the mass matrix \phi 1Tm\phi 1=1.0
D) Use the normalized first mode (from above) to verify that \phi 1Tk\phi 1=\omega 2
E) Use the El Centro Response Spectrum and a damping ratio of 5% to estimate the maximum base
shear and moment.
