Summary
In Indonesia, most of the multi-story earthquake resistant buildings have been
designed with the assistance of the powerful ETABS computer software. Theoretical
three-dimensional linearly elastic dynamic analysis is presented in the introductory
brief. Backward analysis by the computation of the natural modes and frequencies
from the ETABS output are completed in stages to determine manually the modal
analysis parameters such as, the modal participation mass ratios, the modal direction
factors, the distribution of story forces, base shears and torques. Then to allow self
accuracy counter checks of these computer output results, the authors' experiences
indicated that for buildings which have multi-towers on large podium masses for
most of the mixed-used buildings' analytical models where the lateral torsion is
coupled with the translational movements, a few inconsistencies in the computer
output were found.
