Proposed methodology calculates a resultant mode participation factor from mode participation factors due to excitation in individual directions and then performs the mode combination.
Noting that the first mode participation factor, Γ1, should be approximately 1.46 for a coupled wall building 12 stories in height (NEHRP 2009), the associated peak displacement of an "equivalent" SDOF system (NEHRP 2009) is D_{u}^{ast} = frac{{D_{u} }}{{Upgamma_{1} }} = frac{0.281}{1.46} = 0.192;{text{m}} (11).

In Eq. 5, Γ 1 and Γ 2 are the first and second mode participation factors.
In addition to these, the relative storey stiffness ratio and the first-mode participation factor have a direct, though less influential, effect on the maximum inter-storey drifts.
For the first mode and all modes with cumulative mass participation factor exceeding 90%%, Rayleigh equivalent damping was defined as 5%%.
Conventional eigen-analysis could provide information about mode shapes and participation factors (PF).
Accordingly, a methodology is proposed based on the overlap of probability density functions (pdf) of the natural and excitation frequencies, proximity of the natural frequencies of the mean or baseline system, modal participation factor, and stochastic variation of mode shapes in terms of the modes of the baseline system — termed here as statistical modal overlapping.
The approach is based on the determination of the relative contribution of each mode to the deflection by means of a proposed load participation factor (LPF).
In the analysis, the participation factor comprised of size, thickness, and loss factor is employed.
The SVD of the data matrix offers significant information about the system order and mode participation of a free response.
