Abstract

Basic principles of structural dynamics are presented with emphasis on applications to the ea rthquake resistant design of building structures. Dynamic characteristics of single degree of freedom systems are discussed along with their application to single story buildings. The response of these systems to harmonic and impulse loading is described and illustrated by application to simple structures. Consideration of the earthquake response of these systems leads to the concept of the elastic response spectrum and the development of design spectra. The use of procedures based on a single degree of freedom is extended to multiple degree of freedom systems through the use of the generalized coordinate approach. The determination of generalized dynamic properties is discussed and illustrated. A simple numerical integration procedure for determining the nonlinear dynamic response is presented. The application of matrix methods for the analysis of multiple degree of freedom systems is discussed and illustrated along with earthquake response analysis. A response spectrum procedure suitable for hand calculation is presented for elastic response analyses. The nonlinear static analysis for proportional loading and the nonlinear dynamic analysis for earthquake loading are discussed and illustrated with application to building structures. Finally, the use of the recorded response from buildings containing strong motion instrumentation for verification of analytical models is discussed.
