ABSTRACT
The dynamic wind loads are considered in terms of equivalent static wind load based on gust-effect factor in most of the current design practices. In ASCE 7-05, the equivalent static windload is based on the gust-effect factor fG which corresponds with the displacement at thehighest point of the structure for flexible or dynamically sensitive structures. Gust-effect factorsare calculated directly from background and resonance response by spectral method using theirreal modal properties. The main focus of the present investigation is on the influence of non-proportional viscoelastic damping matrix (for independent-frequency case system) andsymmetrical stiffness and damping matrices (frequency-dependent case system) on the spectralcalculation. A new transfer function is introduced in complex modal analysis or spectralstochastic response analysis. The case study is clearly demonstrated with numerical calculationsshowing the accuracy and high performance in this method.
INTRODUCTION
The response of linear elastic flexible system under the dynamic wind load (DWL) has been
studied in the past in order to determine the peak dynamic response (PDR) rgrr =^
, where,r is the mean or time average response, g is the statistical peak factor and r is the standarddeviation of the response (SDOR), [1], [2,3,4], [5]. The peak dynamic response can be calculateddirectly from DWL or indirectly from the equivalent static wind load (ESWL) [6]. In both cases,the damping matrix of the structure is one of the most difficult and important factor to beconsidered because of the nature of non-proportional viscous property and its significantinfluence on PDR.The free vibration of multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) with non-proportional damping matrixwas developed mathematically by [7]. An improved approach was expressed by using a newcoordination )}}({)};({{=)}({ tytytW in the governing equations of motion. The coupled modalproblem becomes uncoupled due to the appearance of complex eigenvectors and eigenvalues ofthe system. Another mathematical methods were presented by [8] and [9]. One could find thatthese last methods, in general, are difficult to apply on the problem of MDOF system underambient excitation.The linear vibration system under random excitation is considered by using the approximatenormal mode method presented by [10]. The coupled equation of motion becomes uncoupledbased on the utilization of the fictitious damping ratio ik . In effect, this approximation isacceptable when the eigenvalues are well separated.
The vibration of multi-degree-of-freedom under wind loading is analyzed deeply. It is found thatthe numerical work becomes very cumbersome when the dynamic effects are considered in timedomain, [11], [12]. The problem demands even more computational effort when the aeroelasticwind force is accounted for [13]. The estimated response using spectral method is preferred inthis case [14], [15].In the present investigation, the spectral method is summarized and the development of thismethod for a non-proportional damping system under dynamic wind force is presented. A newtransfer function )( iH is introduced into the power spectral density (PSD) response function.This method is based on spectral method presented in [16]. At the end of the paper, somenumerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the new approach in structuredesign.
THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
Under quasi-stationary flow wind load, the equation of motion of N-degrees of freedom (N-DOF) damped system with viscous damping can be written in matrix form as:
)}({=)}(){()}(){()}({ tftytyty b KCM (1)where )}();...;({=)}({ 1 tytyty N is the Lagrangian displacement vector; )(, KM and )(C are,respectively, the mass matrix, the stiffness matrix and the damping matrix of the structure.

P . The
function )(,cr
mjfP is referred to as the sidedone XPSD of )(tf between the two points j and
m of the structure. These factors were discussed in detail in [14] and [17]. In the frequencydomain, Eq. (1) could be written as: )}({=)}({)()(2 bFYi KCM (2)where )}({ Y and )}({ bF are the fourier transforms of )}({ ty and )}({ tfb . Therefore, thedisplacement vector is:
)}(){(=)}({)()(=)}({ 12 bb FFiY HKCM (3)
Its XPSD function is:)()()(=)( * ΗPHP fy (4)
where "*" denotes the conjugate operation. The standard deviation of displacement for the k thdegree of freedom could be calculated directly by:

This method is easy to use, but it places a high demand on computational effort because of theoperation )(=)()( 12 HKCM
i at each discrete frequency. For a frequency-independent system, two other spectral methods, which, correspond to the proportional or non-proportional nature of damping matrix C are preferred. The development of a spectral methodfor a frequency-dependent system is presented in following subsection.
SPECTRAL METHOD FOR A FREQUENCY-INDEPENDENT SYSTEM
In this subsection, it is supposed that the stiffness matrix and the damping matrix are bothsymmetrical independent on the frequency . Eq. (1) becomes:
)}({=)}({)}({)}({ tftytyty bKCM (6)

System with non-proportional damping matrixThe approximate method for using non-proportional damping matrix ignores the off-diagonalcoupling coefficients of the modal damping matrix Cc T= then solve the resultinguncoupled Eq. (8) as a typical mode superposition analysis or by spectrum method presentedabove [16]. However, there is no mathematical theory or sufficient experimental evidenceshowing why damping in a physical system should be described by proportional damping [19].The results presented in examples at the end of the paper indicate that this approximation is notapplicable in some cases. In addition, [20] presented an available method for identifying asystem with non-proportional damping matrix. Therefore, the development of spectrum method
using directly non-proportional damping matrix is necessary. Considering the general situationwhere the damping matrix C is not necessarily Rayleigh damping KMC km . Supposing

When the damping matrix C is non-proportional, the modal damping matrix Cc T= is non-diagonal. Nevertheless, an approximate solution may be obtained by ignoring the off-diagonalcoupling coefficients of matrix and then solving the resulting uncoupled equations as a typicalmode superposition analysis. This approach is named quasi-proportional (QP) approach in thisstudy. The SDOR can be calculated from equation:

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
For a viscous linear elastic of MDOF system under dynamic wind loads, some conclusions arepresented here:
The development of spectral methods using a non-proportional damping matrix ofthe system (independent frequency or not) is performed in this study. Thedifference between the responses of the approachalproportionnon and
approachstepbystep or approachintegral is very low. The calculation ofany results by spectral method is faster and more reliable than by dynamictransient methods.
The errors between quasi-proportional and non-proportional or step-by-stepapproaches are considerable when the natural frequencies of the system are

closed. The displacement calculated from its background and resonantcomponents is always over-estimated in this example.
The utilization of spectral method with quasi-proportional damping matrix is notrecommendable. It may be acceptable when the natural frequencies of the systemare well separated and the structure is lightly damped.
The both aerodynamic and aeroelastic wind force should be analyzed byapproachalproportionnon with frequency dependent properties of the system.
The expansion of this approach for the asymmetrical frequency dependent systemmuch be studied in the next research.
