Intended learning outcomes
- This course aims the understanding of analysis formulation of linear systems under deterministic excitation. Presentation of some basic procedures for experimental dynamic analysis.
- Application of Structural Dynamics methods to the analysis of the behavior of Civil Engineering structures under dynamic loads, with special emphasis on the seismic response of building structures.
- Awareness of the basic principles of seismic design underlying the current code philosophy and understanding of their importance for good design of earthquake- resistant structures.
- Present and discuss the design codes in this area (eurocodes).
- Give basic knowledge related with the seismic design of simple structures.
