Dear Urbana,

thanks for this posting, but what formula to get "d (cm)" and "s.k" ?
there is only value not formula.

regards,

dear robertsas
you should use sap2000 before using spreadsheet,
q=1kn\m

after using sap2000,you can view displacements,(d(cm))

if you can using simpson numerical integration method,you can type as me s.k value,

regards

Dear urbana,
This kind of information must be in the first post!

I am working on a new method for determining the period of the tower-like structures. This is an approximate formula, where you have to have the displacements. If you model it into SAP2000 you will get also the period. I am trying to derive a formula, based only on geometry.
