Example 1: The SDF structure in Figure below w is excited byy a lateral dyynamic force . The ma ass of
the structuure ( ) is 40000 . The la s of the structture ( ) is 2 10 / . Th

Example 2: For the same case of example 1, Now, suppose that it is necessary to reduce the maximum
lateral displacement under this dynamic loading to approximately one-third of the above value, and there
are two schemes to be considered for this purpose:

Scheme 1: The first scheme is to increase the lateral stiffness of the structure. This can be done by
stiffening the columns. However, due to some practical limitations, the maximum stiffness, after the
stiffening process, will not be higher than 1.2 , where is the original stiffness.
Scheme 2: The second scheme is to increase the structural mass. This can be done by attaching an
additional mass on top of the structure. Again, this scheme has a limitation. The additional mass must not
be greater than 1000 kg.

Which scheme will you choose? Why?


If you choose the first scheme, what is the minimum additional lateral stiffness of the structure required to
achieve the target reduced response? If you choose the second scheme, what is the minimum additional
mass required to achieve the target reduced response?
