Revisiting Eurocode 8 formulae for periods of vibration and their employment in linear seismic analysis.

The period of vibration is a fundamental parameter in the force based design of structures as this parameter defines the spectral acceleration and thus the base shear force to which the building should be designed. This paper takes a critical look at the way in which seismic design codes around the...
