In order to quickly predict the dynamic characteristics of ancient pagoda structures,especially the basic period/frequency of a large number of ancient masonry pagoda structures,this paper first puts forward the basic form of the basic period/frequency prediction formula of ancient masonry pagoda structures on the basis of the basic formula of structural dynamics.Secondly,the measured basic period/frequency of ancient masonry pa-godas in China was collected,and a semi-theoretical and semi-empirical prediction formula for the basic period of ancient masonry pagodas was obtained by means of data fitting.The measured basic period of the ancient pa-goda structure was compared with the calculation result of the prediction formula.The result showed that the prediction deviation was less than 14%.The prediction formula can accurately predict the basic period of ancient masonry pagoda structure in good structural condition,and meet the requirements of cultural relics pro-tection projects.
