Storey Drift Computations

This document discusses computing storey drift using Mathcad. It defines weight/mass (M), stiffness (K), and storey forces (P) obtained from vertical distribution of forces. It then applies the stiffness equation P=K to obtain storey displacements and calculate relative drift, finding the maximum is less than the limiting value, so it is safe, and the drift (T) equals 0.612.

STOREY DRIFT COMPUTATION USING MATHCAD

DEFINE WEIGHT/MASS M

DEFINE STIFFNESS K

DEFINE THE STOREY FORCES P

Obtained from vertical distribution of forces

APPLY STIFFNESS EQUATION P=K

storey displacements
RELATIVE DRIFT

< limiting value Therefore safe

maximum is 1.3 of method A

Therefore T=0.612
