This book is an ideal offering for undergraduate and postgraduate students pursuing a first\ncourse in Earthquake Engineering, Dynamics of Structures or Structural Dynamics. The\nfundamentals of dynamic behaviour of structures and earthquake engineering have been\nvastly expanded with this edition. This book incorporates various Indian, American, and\nEuropean specifications including FEMA documents.\n\nFeatures –\n\n1. Lucid coverage of the theory of dynamic response of single- and\nmulti-degree-of-freedom systems, elastic and inelastic response spectra, and\nacceleration-displacement response spectra\n\n2. Exhaustive coverage of computation of modal response, air blast loading, static and\ndynamic wind loads, algorithms for linear and non-linear analysis, elastic and inelastic\nbehaviour, ductility, energy dissipating systems, and performance-based design\n\n3. NEW! Chapter 13-Analysis of Bridges for Earthquake Force and Chapter 14-Analysis of\nLiquid Retaining Structures for Earthquake Force\n\n4. Enhanced pedagogy including over 175 solved examples and 400 review problems\nalong with numerous analytical problems\n\nAbout the Author –\nDr. Ashok K. Jain is a former Professor of Civil Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee\n\nBook Content –\n\n"Part 1 Single degree of Freedom Systems\n\nChapter 1 Introduction to Structural Dynamics \nChapter 2 Single Degree of Freedom System: Free Vibrations \nChapter 3 Single Degree of Freedom System: Harmonic Loading \nChapter 4 Single Degree of Freedom System: Periodic Loading \nChapter 5 Single Degree of Freedom System: Impulse Loading \nChapter 6 Single Degree of Freedom System: Machine Vibrations \nChapter 7 Direct Integration of Equation of Motion \nChapter 8 Elastic Response Spectra \n\nPart 2 Multi-degree of Freedom Systems \n\nChapter 9 Two-degree of Freedom Systems\nChapter 10 Multi-degree of Freedom Systems \nChapter 11 Systems with Distributed Mass and Elasticity \n\nPart 3 Application to Earthquake Engineering\n\nChapter 12 Analysis of Buildings for Earthquake Force \nChapter 13 Analysis of Bridges for Earthquake Force \nChapter 14 Analysis of Liquid Retaining Structures for Earthquake Force \nONLINE CHAPTERS \nChapter 15 Nonlinear Analysis of Structures \nChapter 16 Performance-Based Design of Structures \n\nPART 4 Wind Load \n\nChapter 17 Wind Load"\n\n\n
