Objectives

This course covers the basic theory of structural dynamics, the design and evaluation of structural models under seismic excitation according to the 2018 Turkish Building Earthquake Code. After completing the course, the students will gain knowledge about undamped and damped Single-Degree-of-Freedom System (SDOF), Response of one- Degree-of-Freedom-System to harmonic Loading, Response spectra, free vibration of shear building and dynamic analysis of Plane and three- dimensional Frames. In addition, they will learn the basic concepts for the 2018 Turkish Building Earthquake Code.
