Building Height for Steel Frame given Fundamental Period Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Height of Building = (Fundamental Period/0.035)^(4/3)
h_n = (T/0.035)^(4/3)
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Height of Building - (Measured in Meter) - The Height of Building is the height above the basic to the highest level of the building.
Fundamental Period - (Measured in Second) - Fundamental Period is the time taken for one complete oscillation (back-and-forth) by the building.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Fundamental Period: 0.17 Second --> 0.17 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_n = (T/0.035)^(4/3) --> (0.17/0.035)^(4/3)

Evaluating ... ...

h_n = 8.22573099450745

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

8.22573099450745 Meter -->26.9873064123181 Foot (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

26.9873064123181 ≈ 26.98731 Foot <-- Height of Building

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
