After completing the design of a spring-damper system for a bridge, you are assigned your next task. The company you work for has been commissioned to design a new two-storey building on-campus at the university. The building in Figure 1 can be modelled as a two-DOF system, with point masses for the first floor and the roof. The mass of the columns can be assumed negligible compared to the mass of the floor/roof.
