 Problem Statement

z A three story shear building can be idealized as

3-DOF structure. If the structure is excited by
Tabas earthquake which took place in Iran
1976. Determine the maximum displacement for
each story and maximum base shear using
modal analysis and SRSS combination rule.
(Use 5% viscous damping for all mode shapes)
