Aims
The main aim of this course is to offer a fundamental understanding of the structural dynamics and earthquake concepts and techniques.
To teach the behavior of structures under dynamic and earthquake actions, the general knowledge required for design and analysis.
To better understand a structure through dynamic responses such as periods, modes and spectra values.
The student will have the required expertise to be able to carry out a computer-assisted dynamics analysis.
