5) Click Ok

Step 2:
1) After assigning loads of each frame run the analysis
2) Click Display and choose the show table option
3) Select Modal participating ratio from Structural output
4) click ok

Conclusion:
1) For building HJ, K are the same 25 story but the load increases gradually like 10% and 20%. because of this the building becomes more Flexi due to an increase in weight.
2) time period of His 3.0, j is 3 411 and k is 4.036.

2) Click Display and choose the show table option
3) Select Modal participating ratio from Structural output
4) click ok

Building F:
1) Click the Select tab and select the columns
2) Click assign tab and choose frame assignment as 600 x 600 dimension column
3) Click ok

Step 2:
1) After assigning the loads of each frame run the analysis
2) Click Display and choose show table option
3) Select Modal participating ratio from Structural output
4) click ok

Conclusion:
1) Due to the changing of building height the fundamental natural period varies gradually i.e.. for A is 89% at 0.39, for B is 83% at 0.911, for F is 75% at 0.48 and finally for His 78% is 3.811.
