(OP)
How do you calculate the fundamental frequency of a residential structure.  Where can I find the best information on this subject.

RE: fundamental frequency

I would think that depends on what "residential" is defined as.  Here in the US, residential structures are one, two and sometimes three or more stories.  These structures are made from a plethora of materials and or combinations thereof.  Though, wood is the most dominant.

Of those affect the natural frequency of a structure including what the lateral resisting system is, which lends to the stiffness part of the analysis.  Most are shearwalls but that is not always a given.

Please elaborate more.
