It is assumed that the total weight W (kN) in a rigid slab, single-span, single-storey undamped construction model is summed at the floor level. The total stiffness of the frame system against lateral translation was calculated as 6000 kN / m. When a harmonic load of F (t) = 80sin20t [kN] was applied to the said structure at the floor level, the impact on the frame was about 400kN at the floor level.
