The course studies the time dependent behavior of constructions and buildings excited by dynamic forces. The course starts with the analysis of systems with one, two and several degrees of freedom, with and without damping, and also deals with simple continuous structures (beams and bars). The course continues with a short description of the different types of dynamic excitations including earthquakes, wind and walking pedestrians. The effects of these sources of excitations on civil engineering structures are discussed, together with modeling strategies including finite element models. Finally, design modifications and remedial measures are discussed when excessive vibration levels are expected.
The students will learn how to model time dependant dynamic behavior of structures. Emphasis is put on the ability to derive simple models from real complex structures and to compute their dynamic response due to different types of excitations.
The students will also develop a deep understanding of the effects of vibrations (positive or negative) on structures, and the possible design modifications and remedial measures.
