13 13 BASE MOMENT: MODAL CONTRIBUTION assuming only translational component (solid line) and assuming only rotational component (dashed line)

14 BASE MOMENT: assuming both translational and rotational components (solid line) and assuming only translational component (dashed line) 14 INCLUSION of ROTATIONAL COMPONENT OVERESTIMATES 11% the RESULTS for BASE MOMENT and BASE SHEAR 11%

15 15 CONCLUSIONS: 1. Implementation of rotational ground acceleration components is an efficient method to account for the special variability of seismic ic action. 2. For tall and slender structures the influence of the rotational component is essential and cannot be neglected otherwise the design action effects will be underestimated. The influence of rotational component is larger when the height of the structure is greater. 3. The contribution of higher mode response considering rotational type of the motion should be studied carefully in each case. 4. Response spectrum method can be etended and upgraded by making use of rotational response spectra.
