An SDOF portal frame fixed at its base has a mass of 1,000 kg at roof level. The system is supported by two columns each with stiffness of 12,000 N/m. The viscous damping coefficient is 500 N s/m. Under free vibrations, find the natural period of oscillations and cyclic as well as circular natural frequencies for both damped and undamped conditions.
