You may however consider including more modes, provided that the freq. of the highest mode considered is less than 33 Hz. However, I've seen lots of opinion popping up in various discussion groups that response spectrum results you get from STAAD are incorrect (which is different from their view on seismic coefficient method of STAAD itself, which is popularly considered accurate). Still, if you happen to get results in such a way that the provision of Cl.7.8.2, IS:1892-2002 has to be applied, then this problem of inaccuracy discussed widely should vanish. But that is only in case your structure is a framed one with masonry infills. In that case, in place of 0.04, which is actually (ZI)/(2R), in the example |

put in its place, (VB_bar/VB)*(ZI)/(2R), where (VB_bar/VB) is as per Cl.7.8.2, IS:1892-2002. One can find VB_bar and VB by STAAD itself. Do two analysis with the same model. One with Seismic Coefficient method and the other with Response Spectrum method. Find sum of horizontal support reactions for all supports for each analysis, and you get VB_bar and VB. I would further suggest calculating time period by hand and entering it as a parameter in STAAD for Seismic Coefficient method, rather than allowing STAAD to calculate it by itself. There again, use formula from Cl.7.6.2, but as 0.09*h/root(d), since that ‘h’ is missing in print in IS:1893-2002 I was planning to bench mark the accuracy of Response Spectrum analysis in STAAD, but didn't find time and patience to do it. Had I done that, I could have given suggestions. |
