Effective Earthquake Force
Consider a single story frame with lumped mass. Let the frame at
the base displaces by an amount ug due to seismic waves. As a result
lumped mass at the top displaces by an amount ut ,such that:
t
u = u +u g
Where ug= Ground displacement. ut=Total displacement at the top end and u
= Dynamic displacement of lumped mass at the top w.r.t shifted base.

Effective Earthquake Force
Only the relative motion u between the mass and the base cause
structural deformation which produces elastic and damping forces.

Pseudo Acceleration Response Spectra for Different
Damping Values
Damping has a similar effect on pseudo acceleration. Note,
however, that the pseudo acceleration at a (near) zero period is the
same for all damping values.

The term Pseudo shall not be conceived by its meaning (i.e. false as
defined in English dictionaries). In fact it shall be taken as “an essence
similar effect to their relevant commodities ”
It can be observed from below graph that pseudo acceleration , A , and
peak value of true acceleration, u o t have almost same values for systems
with Tn≤ 10 sec and ζ ≤ 0.1 .
It is worth mentioning that for elastic system the ζ seldomly exceed 5%

Design Spectrum for various values of ζ
Site
Comparing the response of systems (a) and (b), we observe that stiffening the
tower shortens the natural period and reduces the design deformation, but
increases the base shear; the latter is a disadvantage.
Comparing systems (a) and (c), both have the same natural period and spectral
ordinates. However, system (c) has twice the mass of system (a), which doubles
the base shear.
