This book presents the latest developments in structural dynamics with particular emphasis on the formulation of equations of motion by finite element methods and their solution using microcomputers.
The book discusses the use of frequency-dependent shape functions for realistic finite element modelling, as opposed to the approximate conventional shape functions. A useful feature of the book in handling the forced vibration problem is the separation of the solution into two parts; the steady state and transient. Advanced topics such as substructure and synthesis are viewed in a modern...

A collection of papers presented at the Sixth International Conference on Tall Buildings (ICTB), this volume explains the engineering and socio-economic aspects of tall buildings in specific areas of sustainability. It also deals with the increasing complexity of inter-related problems that require knowledge integration from different disciplines.
