Lecture

Response Spectrum Method

Description

This lecture covers the Response Spectrum Method (RSM) for elastic and inelastic Multiple Degrees of Freedom (MDOF) systems in seismic engineering. It explains how to estimate the maximum response of a system using the response spectrum. The lecture details the calculation steps, including the effective modal mass, combination rules, and maximum storey forces for each mode. It also discusses the importance of considering multiple modes in the response spectrum analysis and provides examples of calculating maximum lateral forces for different modes in a building structure.
