A reinforced concrete frame building without infill is 20 m tall. Its approximate fundamental period from the code formula is nearest to

  • A.0.71 s
  • B.1.50 s
  • C.0.28 s
  • D.2.00 s

Answer: A

Taking \( T = 0.075 \times 20^{0.75} = 0.075 \times 9.46 = 0.71 \) s. Raising the height to the power three quarters rather than to the first power is where slips occur, and the difference is substantial for a tall building.
