The problem seems to be solved!
There were some problems about the units and plus I didn't use any kind of rigid joint connection. Based on the examples founded on the web, I didn't think that it was necessary.
Is it really always necessary to use them?
Thank you all for your suggestions!

Yes, I know it!
Indeed the period has been calculated in this way and unfortunately it is confirmed by the displacement's plot!

Re: 2d Dynamic non linear RC fiber model - Period too long!
Thank you so much for your answer! I did what you suggested me, but it seems that the problem has nothing to do with the application of gravitational loads! Indeed, there are no differences between the results of the eigenvalue analysis before gravity loading and the results after it. I think that t...

2d Dynamic non linear RC fiber model - Period too long!
Hi everybody! I am a senior university student working on my last project. I tried to run non linear dynamic analises for a 2D RC fiber frame, based on some examples founded on web. After working a lot trying to make the analyses work, I found a problem that I really can't solve! Long story short, m...
