Modal Analysis Example Excel

The document compares the results of hand calculations and ETABS software for the vibration analysis of a 3-story building. Both analyses found similar total building masses, vibration periods for the first 3 modes, and modal participating mass ratios. The mass-normalized mode shapes and effective modal masses from each method also matched closely, demonstrating good agreement between the hand calculations and ETABS output.

The Modal Partecipation Factor


{ }

{ } is the influence vector, it represents the displacements of the masses resulting from static
application of a unit ground displacement. The influence vector induces a rigid body motion.
L = fTM r is the coefficient vector
