Hello to all dear users,
Is it possible to calculate the height of the building from the period obtained from the eigen value analysis in Seismostruct?

I read an article([https://www.scielo.br/j/lajss/a/jjmyXQk ... s/?lang=en) in which the structure was analyzed by the Seismostruct, but unfortunately the height of the building was not given and I need it to validate my model. Can I calculate its height from the period given in the article?

No, unfortunately this is not possible.
The fundamental period depends on several parameters other than the height of the building.
