Synopsis

A textbook for courses in civil engineering. It includes many topics in the theory of structural dynamics, and applications of this theory to earthquake analysis, response, and design of structures. The text is enhanced by over 100 worked examples, some 400 figures, and photographs of structures and structural motions recorded during earthquakes. No prior knowledge of structural dynamics is assumed. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

About this title

From the Publisher:

This structures text places emphasis on earthquake analysis and response and design of structures. It omits non- essential and advanced topics including variational formulation of the equations of motion-Larange's equations, finite element method for continua, etc.

From the Back Cover:

This second edition includes many topics encompassing the theory of structural dynamics and the application of this theory regarding earthquake analysis, response, and design of structures. Covers the inelastic design spectrum to structural design; energy dissipation devices; Eurocode; theory of dynamic response of structures; structural dynamics theory; and more. Ideal for readers interested in Dynamics of Structures and Earthquake Engineering.
