Structural Dynamics

This edition inlcudes recent developments in the area of structura dynamics, presenting a self-contained book on the analysis and design of structures subjected to dynamic forces or earthquake excitations. It covers every kind of structure, from simple structures modelled as single-degree-of-freedom systems through those modelled as "shear buildings" with multiple degrees of freedom and two- or three-dimensional frames and trusses, to continuous systems with distributed mass and elasticity.
