5. Horizontal natural frequency in a 10 story building : A comparison between CLT and concrete using estimate calculations
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronikAbstract : Tall slender buildings are easily set in motion by wind and earthquakes but by estimating the buildings horizontal natural frequencies in the design phase, these motions can be kept within acceptable boundaries. There are many parameters that decides the natural frequency of a building and it can therefore be difficult to calculate it. READ MORE
