Modal Response Analysis Method

In the modal response spectrum analysis method, the structure is decomposed into a number of single degree-of-freedom systems, each having its own mode shape and natural period of vibrationthis method, maximum internal forces and displacements are determined by the statistical combination of maximum contributions obtained from each of the sufficient number of natural vibration modes considered. The number of modes available is equal to the number of mass degrees of freedom of the structure, so the number of modes can be reduced by eliminating mass degrees of freedom.
For a given direction of loading, the displacement in each mode is determined .

The displacement and internal forces in each mode are calculated from the corresponding spectral acceleration, modal participation, and mode shape. Because the When the response spectrum curve is created, The sign (positive or negative) and the time of occurrence of the maximum acceleration are lost in creating a response spectrum, there is no way to recombine modal responses exactly. However, . Therefore, it is not possible to fully reassemble modal responses. However, displacements and component forces can be estimated closely by the statistical combination of modal responses produces reasonably accurate estimates of displacements and component forcesproduced. The loss of signs for computed quantities leads to causes problems in interpreting force results where seismic effects are combined with gravity effects, produce . Modal response analysis method produces forces that are not in equilibrium , and make it impossible to plot deflected shapes of the structure.

Modal analysis provides the entire response history for a given ground motion record. For design
purposes, its application requires a design ground motion record that is representative of the seismic
hazard at the site. for For design purposes, we usually use the maximum value of a response parameter and
not the entire response history. Since every mode can be treated as an independent SDOF system, the
maximum response values of a mode can be easily obtained from the corresponding response
spectrum. If S_d(T_n, x), S_v(T_n, x), and S_a(T_n, x) denote the spectral displacement, velocity, and acceleration,
respectively, the maximum modal displacements are obtained from a response spectrum as

It is used in the horizontal elastic design spectrum in the direction of a given earthquake and the maximum values ​​of the response magnitudes in each vibration mode are calculated with the modal analysis method. The largest non-synchronous modal behavior magnitudes calculated for enough vibration modes are then combined statistically to obtain approximate values ​​of the largest behavior magnitudes.

For each vibration mode considered, the largest modal behavior magnitudes namely displacements, relative floor displacements, internal forces and stresses are found. Located in the largest size modal behavior of  Complete Quadratic Combination. It is combined using the (CQC) rule. In this analysis, it does not give information about when the said behavior magnitude occurred and its correlation with other loadings.

The Square Root of the Sum of Squares (SRSS) Rule

The most common rule for modal combination is the Square Root of Sum of Squares (SRSS) rule.
According to this rule, the peak response of every mode is squared and then the squares are summed.
The estimation of the maximum response quantity of interest is the square of the sum.

...

The major limitation is that in order to produce satisfying estimates, the modes should be
well separated, i.e., the eigenfrequencies should not have close values. If this condition is not met,
the CQC method should be used instead. A criterion to determine if two modes are well separated is
