About this title

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.

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.
