Introduction:- Buildings oscillate during earthquake shaking. The oscillation causes inertia force to be induced in the building. The intensity and duration of oscillation, and the amount of inertia force induced in a building depend on features of buildings,
called their dynamic characteristics, in addition to the characteristics of the earthquake shaking (beyond the control of an engineer) itself. The important dynamic characteristics of buildings are modes of oscillation and damping (assumed constant in most practical cases). A mode of oscillation of a building is defined by associated Natural Period and Deformed Shape in which it oscillates. Every building has a number of natural frequencies, at which it offers minimum resistance Each of these natural frequencies and the associated deformation shape of a building constitute a Natural Mode of Oscillation . The mode of oscillation with the smallest natural frequency (and largest natural period) is called the Fundamental Mode, the associated natural period is called the Fundamental Natural Period.
