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.
