| Learning Outcomes |
At the end of this course, the students;
- Relate the structural idealizations studied to the properties of real structures
- Understand the theory of dynamic response of structures in a manner that emphasizes physical insight into the analytical procedures.
- Understand the applications of the theory to solutions of problems motivated by practical applications.
- Interpret the theoretical results to understand the response of structures to various dynamic excitations, with emphasis on earthquake excitation.
- Understand the structural dynamics theory to conduct parametric studies that bring out several fundamental issues in the earthquake response and seismic design of structures.
