About SCBF 2D example

Post by ankitprakashntpc »

Dear Vesna,

For the given SCBF 2D example, can you please share the calculation for nodal masses (horizontal & vertical) or any reference for the same? I have some doubt about it. The gravity load given in the file is 0.11238 kips/in. whereas nodal horizontal mass is only 2.513 kips. If we assume nodal mass as floor weight distributed among nodes, these values do not match. Please suggest whether my assumption is correct or not.

Thanks,
Ankit Prakash
