Why Modal Analysis Is Important for Designing of High-rise Structures?

Modal analysis is linear dynamic analysis method which provides the greatest contribution to structural response and behavior of structure after hitting earthquake. According to IS 1893-2016 CLOUSE NO.7.7.5.2 and table no. 6 the first two-mode of vibration is always translation mode unless and until building shape is very irregular. The…

Why Stiffness Modifier is Needed for Concrete Frame System?

STIFFNESS MODIFIERS According to IS 16700-2017- Clause no. 7.2 table no.6, UBC-97 Clause 1910.11.1 and ACI 318-19 Clause no. 6.6.3.1.1 table no.6.6.3.1.1 (a) and (b). The Stiffness Modifier values are given.   1. WHY STIFFNESS MODIFIER IS NEEDED FOR CONCRETE FRAME SYSTEM? Concrete has an inherent property of losing itself stiffness…

P-delta Analysis

P-delta is a geometric non-linear effect that occurs in structures that are subjected to compressive loads and lateral displacement. Under the action of compressive loads and lateral displacement, tall slender structures will experience additional stresses and deformations due to the change of position of the structure. First-order structural analysis will…
