This paper extends the recently developed method of reverberation-ray matrix for planar structures to three-dimensional framed structures. The propagation of steady state axial, flexural and torsional waves, as well as the mode conversions through scattering of all three waves at connecting joints are evaluated in the frequency domain. The transient waves in all members are then determined by the Fourier synthesis. The transient responses of a two-storey framed building subject to a step time loading are calculated in detail. Numerical results are obtained for early time as well as moderately long time records. The results are shown to be accurate in arrival times of all three types of waves and in asymptotic values at times.
