From case 2. (From Loads
Dead - 1, and Live - 0.5) i occur period T1=0.738 sec
From case 3. (From self and specified mass and loads
Live - 0.5) - i occur period T1=0.742 sec
I want just to be sure, about cases 2 and 3
which is prefered way to convert loads to mass 2 or 3,
because im new user in ETABS, i have make it before with other softwares, and i never havent problems. But in Etabs i like to find most prefered way
