- Abstract
- The main objective of the present report is to investigate how the component-mode procedure can be utilized to full advantage by including the smallest number of normal modes of the primary system in the analysis while still achieving the necessary accuracy in the results. For this purpose, numerical calculations are carried out for the frequency response of a single degree of freedom secondary system supported on an arbitrary floor in a multi-story building of shear-wall type construction.
