Modal Mass Participation (As per IS 1893:2016)

- As per Clause [Link] of IS 1893 (Part 1): 2016:


- Sum of modal masses must be >= 90% of total seismic mass in each horizontal direction.
- Alternatively, include all modes up to 1.33 x fundamental time period.
- Required in both X and Y directions.
- In ETABS: Check via Tables > Modal Mass Participation Ratios.

Story Stiffness (As per IS 1893:2016)


- No fixed values prescribed by IS code.
- Soft storey defined as:
- Lateral stiffness < 70% of storey above, OR
- < 80% of average stiffness of three stories above.
- Important for identifying vertical irregularities.
- In ETABS: Tables > Story Stiffness.

Modes in ETABS
- Modes represent different vibration patterns of a structure.
- Types:
1. Translational (X, Y): Main lateral modes, most important in seismic analysis.
2. Torsional (Z): Rotational modes, critical in irregular buildings.
3. Higher-Order: Localized and complex deformations.
4. Vertical (Z): Up-down movement, usually ignored unless needed.
- Key modal properties: Mode number, time period, frequency, modal mass participation.

Center of Mass (CM)


- Point through which total mass of the structure acts.
- Calculated as mass-weighted average location.
- Important for locating where seismic forces act.

Center of Stiffness (CS)


- Point where lateral stiffness is considered to be concentrated.
- Based on stiffness-weighted average of structural elements.
- Determines where resisting forces develop.
When CM and CS Coincide
- No torsion occurs: structure moves purely in translation.
- Uniform floor displacement.
- Indicates symmetrical mass and stiffness distribution.
- Improves seismic performance.
- In ETABS: Display > Show Centers of Mass and Rigidity.
