I am making a model in ETABS of a 5-story building with a wall-slab system (it only has those elements). I already defined the materials, the sections, the mass, the diaphragms and added P-Delta effects. But when I run the modal analysis, I get very low periods T=0.06 (s) approx. What mistake am I making?
