The eigen periods of oscillation of structures are affected by several parameters: geometrical characteristics of cross sections of members, magnitude of the mass concentrated in the floors and modulus of elasticity of materials. As a numerical example, the frame reinforced concrete structure was taken, for which the mentioned parameters are given in the form interval. The result is also obtained in the form of interval so it is possible to observe the direct effects on the value of the structural oscillation periods by changing one or several parameters.
