| Abstract | This research is divided into two parts, namely: (1) The evaluation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors for a multi-degree of freedom building. (2) The analysis (based on the solution to (1) above) of story shears of a building subjected to a given earthquake. For (1), differential equations of motion of a three-dimensional structure, involving two translational motions along specified directions, and a torsional motion about the vertical axis, neglecting damping, are derived. In the formulation of these equations, the foundation effect is also considered. Owing to the fact that the solution of a three-dimensional structure is similar to that of a two-dimensional structure, the equations of motion are converted into a general matrix form suitable to a two-dimensional structure. The eigenvalues and eigenvectors for a 3-story three-dimensional building are obtained using and IBM 1620 computer. For (2) above, the transformation of a multi-degree of freedom system into an equivalent single-degree of freedom system is made in order to analyze the design loads (moment, shear, etc.). This method can be applied to most civil engineering structures such as multi-story buildings, tall chimneys, and elevated water tanks subjected to earthquakes, blast, wind and other dynamic loads. An application of the analysis is made to a 3-story reinforced concrete shear wall building |
