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.
