In this second edition a new chapter has been added covering the buffeting theory in a finite element format. The motivation for this has been that a finite element format is becoming more and more dominant in all areas of structural mechanics. It is streamlined for computer programming, and it faci[...]
This book introduces structural dynamics. It starts with the basics and step by step brings readers to a level where they can understand how to perform the necessary safety considerations to wind or horizontal ground motion induced dynamic design problems.[...]
