Mode Combination (CQC)

+ +
Slides by the Esteem team

Advantage of CQC over SRSS


SRSS works well for periods that are well separated
SRSS does not consider the coupling effect between different
periodsnot accurate when frequencies are closely spaced.
SRSS might underestimate the correct response of the
structure
CQC considers the coupling contribution, does not
underestimate the correct response
Slides by the Esteem team

When to do mode combination?


ALWAYS do at the final stage of the analysis.
Response direction is lost after mode combination
Right: Displacement -> Stress-> combined stress
Wrong: Displacement -> combined displacement-> stress

Questions
Why is the first mode from a modal analysis not necessary the fundamental
mode in a certain direction?
Why are the forces and displacements from a modal response spectrum
analysis always positive?
What is the advantage of Load Dependent Ritz analysis over Eigen analysis
What does accidental eccentricity do?
According to Eurocode, what is the least number of seismic load
combinations possible?
According to Eurocode 8, do we need to consider vertical seismic action in
Malaysia?
