1 What is Response?
Structure response is the behavior of the structure to lateral loading.
When any effective lateral load, F acts ona structure, then the structure gets deflected, Δ.
For Seismic force, structure gets different deflections ( Δ1, Δ2, Δ3, ….) at different time periods.
This deflections are structural response/behavior due to lateral/seismic forces. This response
depends on the magnitude and time period of the force, stiffness of the structure and mass of the
structure.
When structure deflection/displacement, Δ in a time period, t then we get the structural velocity,
Sv= Δ/t. Structural Acceleration, Sa= δSv/δt.
When seismic force in ground travels distance, d in a time period, t then we get the Ground Velocity,
Gv= d/t.
Due to changes in velocity for different distance and time periods we get Ground Acceleration,
Ga= δGV/δt.
Note:
Structures of shorter period experience greater acceleration, whereas those of longer period
experience greater displacement as time period, t is the dividing factor.
The response of the equivalent SDoF system depends on 2 things. Natural frequeny (f=1/T) or Time
Period and Damping.
If we assume a constant 5% damping, the response of the equivalent SDoF structure will vary with
time period and frequency. But for the design earthquake, depending on the natural frequency, there
is only one value of max response we get. And that is our concern. The term is denoted with the
prefix Spectral.
Spectral displacement, SD= Max displacement response of equivalent SDoF.
Spectral Velocity, SV= Max velocity response of equivalent SDoF.
Spectral acceleration, SA= Max acceleration response of equivalent SDoF.
We need the whole displacement response (u(t)) along with the peak displacement, SD. So that we
can take derivative with respect to time and find velocity and taking second derivative, find the
acceleration response (a(t)) of the structure.
From these derivations we get velocity and acceleration response are related as,
SA= w*SV= w*w*SD
Where w= natural frquency of SDoF system.
Note: Purpose of this was to calculate the spectral displacement SD and the relation result fulfilled
our target, because response of a structure is not a simple sine or cosine curve, especially with
damping.
If the purpose was to calculate spectral displacement then why do need spectral velocity and
acceleration also? Is spectral displacement not enough?
The answer is, It is easier to apply force using accelerations, F= MA, rather than displacement, F=KX,
on the structure to calculate internal forces as we know stiffness matrix is often complex whereas
mass matrixx is usually easy.
And all structures can be converted to equivalent SDoF systems. All these systems relates to the
properties of Pseudo spectral responses as pseudo displacement, pseudo velocity & pseudo acceleration.
Once we convert back from equivalent SDoF system to the original MDoF building through modal
transformation/superposition (for this modal tranformation we define modal case in analysis
program), we cannot usethe prefix Pseudo anymore. The final response are just peak values of structural
responses (displacement, velocity or acceleration) belongs particularly to that structure.
A whole series of SDoF oscillators at a given damping level are subjected to the analysis. The peak
relative displacement, ymax value from each oscillator are determined and then converted into Pseudo
Spectrum Acceleration, PSA (Sa) by multiplying natural frequeny (ω= 1/T) squared.
Sa= ω2*ymax.
This values are then plotted against the period of the oscillator.
Connecting these intersecting points we get response spectrum curve for considered damping. Different
curve can be generated for different level of damping.

curve can be generated for different level of damping.
1. Absolute (ABS). Sum of all the peak responses together (this is not very realistic as it assumes all peak
responses occur at same time). Lets say we just have 2 modes to combine in a response spectrum analysis
from equations we end up with an equation like the following;
R2= R12 + 2*ε*R1*R2 + R22
Now one extreme s where ε=1. This is basically just summing up the modal response.
R2= R12 + 2*R1*R2 + R22= (R1+R2)2
R= R1+R2
R= |R1|+|R2| (in practise).
Which is very conservative.
2. Square Root Sum of the Squares (SRSS). This can be used, however when terms are squared all values are
positive and there is no correspondence between reponse results like that would be in
time history analysis.
Lets say we just have 2 modes to combine in a response spectrum analysis. Now, consider, ε=0. Then we
have the following,
R2= R12+R22
R= SRSS(R12+R22).
This is the SRSS method. Basically another way to think of it is that we dont account for modal interaction
(interaction of modes 1 and 2) since we neglet the R 1*R2 term and just take the SRSS.
For structures with well frequencies, SRSS provides a good estimate of total peak response.
3. Complete Quadratic Combination (CQC) This is commonly used. The CQC uses value of ε in between 0 and
1 (0 < ε/damping coeff < 1) to calculate the total response, so we get somewhere in between. In other words,
CQC account for some interaction of nodes when the modes are closely spaced.
CQC is used for structures having closely spaced frequencies. This is default and preferred modal
combination.
4. General Modal Combination technique (GMC) is used to combine the modal results. This is the same as
the complete modal combination procedure described by equation 3.31 by Gupta (1990). The GMC method
takes into account the statistical coupling between closely spaced modes similarly to the CQC method, but
also includes the correlation between modes with rigid response content.

B. Directional Combination:
For Each displacement, force or stress quantity in the structure, modal combination produces a single
positive result for each direction of acceleration. These directional values for a given response quantity are
combined to ptoduce a single, positive result. Thats why we need to apply the directinal combination type to
specify directional scale factor (drift) to be used.
Here Combination types for Directional Combination:
1. Select DCT as Absolute to combine the directional results by taking the sum of their absolute
values. This method is usually over conservative.
2. Select DCT as SRSS to combine the directional results by taking the square root of the sum of
their squares. This method is invariant with respect to coordinate system i.e.,. The results do not
depend upon your choice of coordinate system when the given response spectrum curves are the
same. This is the recommended and default method for directional combination. Dr.Wilson explains that
combined directional effects may be accounted for more effectively by using an alternative method in which
the SRSS combination of two 100 percent spectra analyses is applied in any direction, or along either
orthogonal axis. This method is valid because design forces and results are
independent of the reference system used. Further, this method also accounts for independent and
simultaneous ground motion which occur normal to those along the principal direction.
3. The Complete Quadratic Combination CQC in 3 directions CQC 3method is the full expansion of SRSS
method. Its generic expression accounts for the model correlation coefficient among vibration modes and
the critical angle θ between the seismic excitation and the structural axis. It offers the most critical
orientation of the ground motion components.
Conclusion: From the discussion on modal combination method and directional combination method
we can understand that CQC is default and preferable for modal combination ad SRSS is default and
preferable for directional combination in usual practise.

1 What is Response?
Structure response is the behavior of the structure to lateral loading.
When any effective lateral load, F acts ona structure, then the structure gets deflected, Δ.
For Seismic force, structure gets different deflections ( Δ1, Δ2, Δ3, ….) at different time periods.
This deflections are structural response/behavior due to lateral/seismic forces. This response
depends on the magnitude and time period of the force, stiffness of the structure and mass of the
structure.
For Seismic force, structure gets different deflections ( Δ1, Δ2, Δ3, ….) at different time periods.
This deflections are structural response/behavior due to lateral/seismic forces. This response
depends on the magnitude and time period of the force, stiffness of the structure and mass of the
structure.
Response Spectrum Analysis, RSA is a linear-dynamic statistical analysis method which measures the
structural response to seismic events. RSA calculates and combines max modal responses from
Spectra Curves using modal superposition. Response spectrum curve found by plotting Time Perio on
horizontal axis and response quantities on vertical axis. Response quantities can be max displacement, max velocity
It is done to find out the max deflection/displacement of the structure involving response spectral
curve generated for possible seismic events by incorporating previous seismic records. Our target is
to keep the max displacement within the allowable limit. So by the RSA we can design a sustainable
structure during the possible seismic events.
With RSA we can review the response of the structure how it may behave during earthquake before constructing it
When structure deflection/displacement, Δ in a time period, t then we get the structural velocity,
Sv= Δ/t. Structural Acceleration, Sa= δSv/δt.
When seismic force in ground travels distance, d in a time period, t then we get the Ground Velocity,
Gv= d/t.
Due to changes in velocity for different distance and time periods we get Ground Acceleration,
Ga= δGV/δt.
Note:
Structures of shorter period experience greater acceleration, whereas those of longer period
experience greater displacement as time period, t is the dividing factor.
The response of the equivalent SDoF system depends on 2 things. Natural frequeny (f=1/T) or Time
Period and Damping.
If we assume a constant 5% damping, the response of the equivalent SDoF structure will vary with
time period and frequency. But for the design earthquake, depending on the natural frequency, there
is only one value of max response we get. And that is our concern. The term is denoted with the
prefix Spectral.
Spectral displacement, SD= Max displacement response of equivalent SDoF.
Spectral Velocity, SV= Max velocity response of equivalent SDoF.
Spectral acceleration, SA= Max acceleration response of equivalent SDoF.
We need the whole displacement response (u(t)) along with the peak displacement, SD. So that we
can take derivative with respect to time and find velocity and taking second derivative, find the
acceleration response (a(t)) of the structure.
From these derivations we get velocity and acceleration response are related as,
SA= w*SV= w*w*SD
Where w= natural frquency of SDoF system.
Note: Purpose of this was to calculate the spectral displacement SD and the relation result fulfilled
our target, because response of a structure is not a simple sine or cosine curve, especially with
damping.
If the purpose was to calculate spectral displacement then why do need spectral velocity and
acceleration also? Is spectral displacement not enough?
The answer is, It is easier to apply force using accelerations, F= MA, rather than displacement, F=KX,
on the structure to calculate internal forces as we know stiffness matrix is often complex whereas
mass matrixx is usually easy.
And all structures can be converted to equivalent SDoF systems. All these systems relates to the
properties of Pseudo spectral responses as pseudo displacement, pseudo velocity & pseudo acceleration.
Once we convert back from equivalent SDoF system to the original MDoF building through modal transformation/s
modal tranformation we define modal case in analysis
program), we cannot usethe prefix Pseudo anymore. The final response are just peak values of structural response
velocity or acceleration) belongs particularly to that structure.
A whole series of SDoF oscillators at a given damping level are subjected to the analysis. The peak
relative displacement, ymax value from each oscillator are determined and then converted into Pseudo Spectrum A
by multiplying natural frequeny (ω= 1/T) squared.
Sa= ω2*ymax.
This values are then plotted against the period of the oscillator.
Connecting these intersecting points we get response spectrum curve for considered damping. Different curve can
different level of damping.
1. Absolute (ABS). Sum of all the peak responses together (this is not very realistic as it assumes all peak responses
Lets say we just have 2 modes to combine in a response spectrum analysis from equations we end up with an equa
R2= R12 + 2*ε*R1*R2 + R22
Now one extreme s where ε=1. This is basically just summing up the modal response.
R2= R12 + 2*R1*R2 + R22= (R1+R2)2
R= R1+R2
R= |R1|+|R2| (in practise).
Which is very conservative.
2. Square Root Sum of the Squares (SRSS). This can be used, however when terms are squared all values are positiv
correspondence between reponse results like that would be in
time history analysis.
Lets say we just have 2 modes to combine in a response spectrum analysis. Now, consider, ε=0. Then we have the f
R2= R12+R22
R= SRSS(R12+R22).
This is the SRSS method. Basically another way to think of it is that we dont account for modal interaction (interacti
since we neglet the R1*R2 term and just take the SRSS.
For structures with well frequencies, SRSS provides a good estimate of total peak response.
3. Complete Quadratic Combination (CQC) This is commonly used. The CQC uses value of ε in between 0 and 1 (0 <
to calculate the total response, so we get somewhere in between. In other words, CQC account for some interactio
modes are closely spaced.
CQC is used for structures having closely spaced frequencies. This is default and preferred modal
combination.
4. General Modal Combination technique (GMC) is used to combine the modal results. This is the same as the comp
combination procedure described by equation 3.31 by Gupta (1990). The GMC method takes into account the stati
between closely spaced modes similarly to the CQC method, but also includes the correlation between modes with
content.
B. Directional Combination:
For Each displacement, force or stress quantity in the structure, modal combination produces a single positive resu
acceleration. These directional values for a given response quantity are combined to ptoduce a single, positive resu
to apply the directinal combination type to specify directional scale factor (drift) to be used.
2. Select DCT as SRSS to combine the directional results by taking the square root of the sum of
their squares. This method is invariant with respect to coordinate system i.e.,. The results do not
depend upon your choice of coordinate system when the given response spectrum curves are the
same. This is the recommended and default method for directional combination. Dr.Wilson explains that combined
may be accounted for more effectively by using an alternative method in which the SRSS combination of two 100 p
2. Select DCT as SRSS to combine the directional results by taking the square root of the sum of

may be accounted for more effectively by using an alternative method in which the SRSS combination of two 100 p
analyses is applied in any direction, or along either orthogonal axis. This method is valid because design forces and
independent of the reference system used. Further, this method also accounts for independent and
simultaneous ground motion which occur normal to those along the principal direction.
3. The Complete Quadratic Combination CQC in 3 directions CQC 3method is the full expansion of SRSS method. Its
accounts for the model correlation coefficient among vibration modes and the critical angle θ between the seismic
structural axis. It offers the most critical orientation of the ground motion components.
Conclusion: From the discussion on modal combination method and directional combination method
we can understand that CQC is default and preferable for modal combination ad SRSS is default and
preferable for directional combination in usual practise.
