Abstract :Differential Quadrature Method (DQM) has very wide applications in the field of structural vibration. The main advantages of the Differential Quadrature Method are its inherent conceptual simplicity and the fact that easily programmable. In this paper free vibration analysis of wall-frame structures were studied. A wall-frame structure was modeled as an cantilever beam in this study. The governing differential equation of wall-frame structures were solved using Differential Quadrature Method (DQM). At the end of the study, a sample taken from literature was solved and the results were evaluated in order to test the convenience of the methodKeywords : Free Vibration, Wall-Frame Structures, Differential Quadrature Method.
