An evaluation is presented of some of the modal maxima superposition rules, widely used to estimate the response of multistorey buildings, subjected to earthquake excitations: (1) the square root of the sum of the squares (SRSS) method; (2) the double sum combination (DSC) method; (3) the complete quadratic combination (CQC) method. The SRSS method provides good peak response estimates for the regular building, but gives the poor results for irregular building with the mass offset from the stiffuess centre, in which arise modes with closely spaced periods. It is conclude, that the DSC and CQC methods provide good response estimates of equivalent accuracy, for both the regular and irregular building models.
