Dynamics of Structures: Theory and Applications to Earthquake Engineering, 6e
- Dynamics of Structures introduces the theory of structural dynamics and its essential application to earthquake analysis, response, design, and evaluation of structures.
- Expert author Anil K. Chopra presents this often difficult subject as simply as possible. No prior knowledge of structural dynamics is assumed, and the detailed presentation is ideal for self-study.
Key Features of the 6th Edition:
- New Chapter: Includes a brand new chapter dedicated to the dynamics of building-soil interaction.
- Current Relevance: Updates and revisions throughout reflect current building codes, contemporary methods, and the latest research in the field.
- Practical Insight: Presents the theory of dynamic response with an emphasis on physical insight into analytical procedures.
- Real-World Application: Shows how to apply structural dynamics theory to practical problems in earthquake analysis, design, and evaluation.
- Enhanced Learning Tools:
- Over 125 Worked-Out Examples: Illustrate analytical procedures in depth.
- 600 Figures: Enhance understanding of the dynamic response of structures.
- Real-World Context: Photographs of structural motion during earthquakes provide vital real-world context.
- Structural Idealizations: Compares structural idealizations to the actual properties of real structures.
