ABOUT THE BOOK
DYNAMICS OF STRUCTURES : THEORY AND APPLICATIONS TO EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING
AUTHOR : ANIL K CHOPRA
PUBLISHERS : PRENTICE HALL
This book presents material on vibrations and the dynamics of structures and demonstrates the application to structural motions caused by earthquake ground shaking. The material in the book is presented very clearly with numerous worked-out illustrative examples so that even a student at a university where such a course is not given should be able to study the book on his or her own time. Readers who are now practicing engineering should have no difficulty in studying the subject by means of this book. As especially interesting feature of the book is the application of structural dynamics theory to important issues in the seismic response and design of multistory buildings.
The information presented in this book will be of special value to those engineers who are engaged in actual seismic design and want to improve their understanding of the subject.
Although the material in the book leads to earthquake engineering, the information presented is also relevant to wind-induced vibrations of structures as well as man made motions such as those produced by drophammers or by heavy vehicular traffic. As a textbook on vibrations and structural dynamics, this book has no competitors and can be recommended to the serious student.
