The relative displacement u(t) of a single-storey shear building subjected to an earthquake ground motion is represented by the following second-order linear ordinary differential equation: d2u du + c + ku : a,(t) m %3D dt2 dt where m, c, and k are the mass (kg), damping constant (Ns/m), and stiffness of the structure (N/m), respectively. Meanwhile, a,(t) is the function of earthquake ground acceleration.

Question
The relative displacement u(t) of a single-storey shear building subjected to an earthquake
ground motion is represented by the following second-order linear ordinary differential
equation:
d?u
dt2
du
+ c
+ ku =
a, (t)
m
dt
where m, c, and k are the mass (kg), damping constant (Ns/m), and stiffness of the
structure (N/m), respectively. Meanwhile, a,(t) is the function of earthquake ground
acceleration.
Suppose the building with a mass of 2000 kg and supported by columns of combined
stiffness of 32 x 103 N/m is subjected to earthquake with ground acceleration given by the
following function:
ag(t)
= 36000 cos 2t
Find the equation of the displacement, u(t), given the damping is not installed to the
building. Then, find how much the building is displaced from t =30 seconds to t =60 seconds
of earthquake.
