SEISMIC ANALYSIS USING LUMPED MASS METHOD

Create the Geometry of the model and give member property.

Provide all beam and column junctions as hinged and create a load case [i.e.
DL+50%LL or 25%LL as per Code IS 1893 (Part 1) -2002]
Then run analysis and view the result w.r.t the already created load case.
Go to reaction tab and copy the reactions to the excel sheet.
Delete the all the unwanted columns [ Fx, Fz, Mx, My]
Let nodes, load case and Fy column retained
Replace the load case column fully by Joint weight.
Copy and paste it in the staad editor.

8. Analysis.
(1) In this complete steps 1 to 6. Then follow the further steps for Lumped
Mass.
There are two parts.
Part 1 : Finding Joint Loads for Earth quake analysis.
Part 2: Applying Earthquake analysis.
Before Proceeding take a copy of Model created from step 1 to 6.

Part 1: To find Joint Loads:

1.To give pinned supports at all column nodes :

Main menu Select Beams parallel to Y
Main menu View View selected objects only.
Main menuCommands Support specifications Pinned Assign.
 2. Apply Load:
(1) In Seismic Load for finding joint load we have to consider the following
Load case as per Table 8 (Clause 7.3.1 ) of IS 1893-2002.
1.0DL+0.25LL (If LL<3KN/m2)
1.0DL+0.50LL (If LL>3KN/m2)
Main menu Edit Edit input command file
In Load case below Live Load type the following:
Load Combination 3
1 1 2 0.25
Perform Analysis
Load List 3
Print Support Reaction
(2) Main Menu Analysis Run Analysis Done.
(3) Main Menu View Tables Support Reaction.
 From support reaction Select only Joint No. and Force FY.
Copy and Paste the Joint No. and vertical reaction at the pinned supports
in a separate file named as Joint Load file.
Type Weight in between Joint No. and Force Fy as below:
(E.g) 16 WEIGHT 81.47
Close the File.
Part 2 : Applying Earthquake Analysis:
Go to original file of Model created from step 1 to 6. Then follow the steps

Seismic Weights. For this go to
Main menu Edit Edit Input Command file.
Below the Zone factor, copy and paste the JOINT WEIGHT as in the Joint Load
file.

1. Edit the Load case No.1 (Dead Load) and 2(Live Load) as Load case No. 5 &

NOTE:
This procedure is very useful in the older version of Staad Pro due to the fact that in
the OLDER version, load list in load cases differ from the load list in load definition.
In the latter version of Staad Pro 2007, you can just copy paste the loads from the
load cases to the seismic definition and let Staad will do the entire process of
analysing weights but of course there is a need to carefully change some load name,
e.g. instead of floor load that will be floor weights Member Load will be Member
weight etc. It's much easier.
This method of analyzing Earthquake analysis by direct method is explained
separately.
