NOTE: Since the building is of moment resisting frame, we should use empirical expressions.
Natural period of the building (T).
T in x-direction =0.09h/ d
T in z-direction =0.09h/ d
Where, h= total height and d= dimension in x-direction for Tx & dimension in z-direction for

Damping ratio = 0 (to obtain accurate results)

Before going to Auto load combinations, we have to define the analysis and print beta
command between load case1 and load case 2 and loading case 2 & 3. This will help
StaadPro to calculate loads for load case 1 in X-direction and load case 2 in Z-direction for
doing the combination.
