ASSIGNMENT# 4

1) Write the equation of motion for the one-story, one-bay frame shown in figure below.
The flexural rigidity of the beam and columns is as shown. The mass lumped at the beam
is m; otherwise, assume the frame to be massless and neglect damping.

4) Three-story shear frame (rigid beams and flexible columns) in structural steel (E= 29,000 ksi) are
shown in figure below, has the following properties: w =100 kips; I= 1400 in4 ; modal damping
ratios ζn are 5% for all modes. Assuming that the shape function is given by deflections due to
lateral forces that are equal to the floor weights, determine the floor displacements, story shears, and
the moments at the floors and at the base due to ground motion characterized by the design spectrum
below scaled to a peak ground acceleration of 0.25g.

5). A one-story reinforced-concrete building is idealized for structural analysis as a massless frame
supporting a dead load of 10 kips at the beam level. The frame is 24 ft wide and 12 ft high. Each column,
clamped at the base, has a 10-in.-square cross section. The Young’s modulus of concrete is 3 ×103 ksi and
the damping ratio of the building is estimated as 5%. If the building is to be designed for the design spectrum
above scaled to a peak ground acceleration of 0.5g, determine the design values of lateral deformation and
bending moments in the columns if the beam may be assumed as rigid in flexure.

6). A small one-story reinforced-concrete building shown blow is idealized as a massless frame supporting a
total dead load of 10 kips at the beam level. Each 10-in.-square column is hinged at the base; the beam may
be assumed to be rigid in flexure and E = 3 × 103 ksi. Determine the peak response of this structure to ground
motion characterized by the design spectrum above scaled to 0.25g peak ground acceleration. Determine the
displacement at the top of the frame and the bending moments in the two columns.

7) A reinforced-concrete chimney 600 ft high has a hollow circular cross section with outside diameter 50 ft
at the base and 25 ft at the top; the wall thickness is 2 ft 6 in., uniform over the height. Using the
approximation that the wall thickness is small compared to the radius, the mass and flexural stiffness
properties are computed from the gross area of concrete (neglecting reinforcing steel). The chimney is
assumed to be clamped at the base, and its damping ratio is estimated to be 5%. The unit weight of concrete

is 150 lb/ft 3, and its elastic modulus Ec = 3600 ksi. Assuming that the shape function is

where L is the length of the chimney and x is measured from the base, calculate the
following quantities: (a) the shear forces and bending moments at the base and at the midheight, and (b) the
top deflection due to ground motion defined by the design spectrum above, which is scaled to a peak
acceleration of 0.25g.
