Abstract: This study investigates the dynamic properties of the buildings situated in the hilly area. When any building is constructed in hilly area its response to the lateral forces such as earthquake and wind depends on the dynamic properties of the building. The response of building constructed on sloping ground is different from buildings constructed on the plain grounds. The modal periods and frequency of the building in any mode depends on the mass and stiffness of the building at the various level of the building. In case of building constructed on sloping ground as the plan area will not remain constant the mass of building will change at every level. In addition to this the length of column is also changing at different floor levels so stiffness of the column and stiffness of building will change at every floor, so it is important to study the dynamic behavior of building constructed on the sloping ground.
