Annotation:
This article presents data on the impact of non-loadbearing structures on the amplitude-frequency characteristics of frame buildings during dynamic tests using low-intensity loads. On the basis of experimental studies, it is proposed to introduce a correction factor to the experimentally determined period of the building’s natural oscillations. In addition, proposals are made in which cases it is advisable to conduct dynamic tests using lowintensity loads.
