Description
This text is concerned with the dynamic behaviour of reinforced/prestressed concrete structures, such as: buildings and bridges. It discusses how to predict or check the real inelastic behaviour of concrete structures subjected to dynamic loads, including equipment loads, earthquake motions, seismic interactions and missile impacts. A number of techniques have recently been developed to assist in evaluating such occurrences. This book is intended to apply structural dynamics to concrete structures and is appropriate as a textbook for an introductory course in dynamic behaviour of concrete structures at the upper-undergraduate or graduate level as well as for practicing engineers.
