This book is an ideal offering for undergraduate and postgraduate students pursuing a first course in Earthquake Engineering, Dynamics of Structures or Structural Dynamics. The fundamentals of dynamic behaviour of structures and earthquake engineering have been vastly expanded with this edition. This book incorporates various Indian, American, and European specifications including FEMA documents. \nFeatures : \n1. Lucid coverage of the theory of dynamic response of single- and multi-degree-of-freedom systems, elastic and inelastic response spectra, and acceleration-displacement response spectra \nExhaustive coverage of computation of modal response, air blast loading, static and dynamic wind loads, algorithms for linear and non-linear analysis, elastic and inelastic behaviour, ductility, energy dissipating systems, and performance-based design \nNEW! Chapter 13-Analysis of Bridges for Earthquake Force and Chapter 14-Analysis of Liquid Retaining Structures for Earthquake Force \nEnhanced pedagogy including over 175 solved examples and 400 review problems along with numerous analytical problems
