About this title

From the Back Cover

THE MODELS AND METHODS OF MODERN STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS!

This book spotlights the sophisticated models used to accurately assess the reliability of civil structures-buildings, bridges, etc. It presents these models and methods in a clear and systematic manner, and assumes no prior knowledge in vibration theory or structural dynamics.

• Covers the new high tech systems such as base isolations, dampers and structural control.
• Includes numerous examples to help readers learn; most examples are presented using matrix models of frame structures.
• Motivates readers and makes the material clear through a powerful writing style that demystifies difficult concepts.
