The traditional design philosophy for buildings and structures, which takes almost exclusively only statics considerations into account, is being steadily supplemented by the need for carrying out additional verifications concerning their response and safety under dynamic loads. A reason for this may lie in the proliferation of modern bold architectural design forms favouring unorthodox and/or very slender structures, which are often susceptible to vibration under dynamic excitation. In addition, satisfying higher safety demands is increasingly required for buildings serving important societal needs (eg hospitals), or structures with high intrinsic risk potential (eg large industrial units). A prerequisite for carrying out complex dynamic analyses is a familiarity with the theoretical foundations and numerical methods of structural dynamics together with experience in the application of the latter and an insight into the nature of dynamic loads. The present book addresses both students and practising civil engineers offering an overview of the theoretical basics of structural dynamics complete with the relevant software for analysing the response of structures subject to earthquake and wind loads and illustrating its use by means of many examples worked out in detail, with input files for the programmes included. In the spirit of “learning by doing”, it thus encourages readers to apply the tools described to their own problems, allowing them to become familiar with the broad field of structural dynamics in the process. Chapter 1 deals with the basic theory of structural dynamics followed by chapters on wind and earthquake loads. Chapters 4 and 5 deal with the behaviour of buildings and industrial units under seismic loading, respectively, while the final chapter is devoted to the application of wind engineering methods to slender tower-like structures. May this book contribute to a deeper understanding and v
