All the elements in the structure were checked for the ultimate and serviceability states. Effec- tive cross-sections were calculated according the efforts they are subject. Resistance of cross sections were calculated, namely to the shear forces, bending, axial forces, combined internal forces and buckling resistance were also analysed, EC3-1-3 (2006). A eg oe ee The 3D model of th the e building was developed with the software Robot (2009). The self- weight of the structure (excluding sheathing) is about 5500 kg. The mass from sheathing and finish elements, in the design situation, has been evaluated as 49936 kg. Taking into account the contribution of this mass and the rigidity of the elements, the natural frequencies and mode shapes were calculated in Robot (2009) and presented in Figure 2.
