Good day!
I basically have the same question as OP's comment in this tread,
Well to quote it,
"To calculate the natural period of this frame I used the formula T = 2*Pi*SQRT.(m/k) where m is the weight (assumed to be lumped at the top of the frame) and k is the stiffness of the frame (which I calculated by applying a "dummy" load and seeing how much the frame would deflect). Do you think this is a valid way of calculating the natural period for the gust effect calculation?"
It's for different structure but I'll pretty much go with the same formula for T and method for k.
Can I use this for the Gust Effect factor?
