Subject coordinator: Professor B Samali
This subject introduces students to the concepts and techniques of structural dynamics and their application to the design and analysis of dynamically sensitive structures such as tall buildings, towers, chimneystacks and footbridges. Students develop: an understanding of the nature of dynamic (time varying) loads, with particular emphasis on earthquake loads; the ability to assess the response of civil engineering structures to such loads, taking into account load-structure interaction; and structural design approaches satisfying both strength and serviceability requirements.
Assessment: Assignments (50 per cent), quizzes (50 per cent).
Typical availability
Autumn semester, City campus
