The book is interesting as well as scholarly and encourages the reader to continue rather than to put it down. The presentation and the many diagrams are excellent - Structural Engineer.

solution, are provided for calculation of the responses to forces or motions exciting the structure. The new chapters in earthquake-resistant design of buildings describe the provisions of both the 1985 and 1988 versions of the UBC (Uniform Building Code) for the static lateral force method and for the dynamic lateral force method. Other revisions of the book include the presentation of the New mark beta method to obtain the time history response of dynamic systems, and the direct integration method in which the response is found assuming that the excitation function is linear for a specified time interval. A modifi cation of the dynamic condensation method, which has been developed re cently by the author for the reduction of eigenproblems, is presented in Chap ter 13. The proposed modification substantially reduces the numerical operation required in the implementation of the dynamic condensation method. The subjects in this new edition are organized in six parts. Part I deals with structures modeled as single degree-of-freedom systems. It introduces basic concepts and presents important methods for the solution of such dynamic systems. Part II introduces important concepts and methodology for multi degree-of-freedom systems through the use of structures modeled as shear buildings. Part III describes methods for the dynamic analysis of framed struc tures modeled as discrete systems with many degrees of freedom.

Professor Mario Paz's latest textbook offers a thoroughly updated look at matrix structural analysis, thoughtfully integrating theoretical discussions with practical engineering problems. CSI's SAP2000 software is used throughout to demonstrate the connection between theory and practice, which makes this book an ideal read for anyone interested in expanding their understanding of modern computational analysis. The book is organized into nine chapters, starting with the analysis of simple beams. Subsequent chapters present the analysis of more complex two- and three-dimensional frame structures, subjected to both static and dynamic loading. The final chapter in this nearly 500-page book introduces the reader to the topic of finite method analysis as a natural extension of matrix structural analysis. Included in this comprehensive new text is a limited capacity edition of the SAP2000 program, allowing readers to create and solve the problems illustrated in the book.

Matrix Structural Analysis and Dynamics: Theory and Computation

Computers and Structures, Inc.

"The Fifth Edition of Structural Dynamics: Theory and Computation is the complete and comprehensive text in the field. It presents modern methods of analysis and techniques adaptable to computer programming clearly and easily. The book is ideal as a text for advanced undergraduates or graduate students taking a first course in structural dynamics. It is arranged in such a way that it can be used for a one- or two-semester course, or span the undergraduate and graduate levels. In addition, this text will serve the practicing engineer as a primary reference. The text differs from the standard approach of other presentations in which topics are ordered by their mathematical complexity. This text is organized by the type of structural modeling. The author simplifies the subject by presenting a single degree-of-freedom system in the first chapters, then moves to systems with many degrees-of-freedom in the following chapters. Finally, the text moves to applications of the first chapters and special topics in structural dynamics. New in this Edition:
<ul>
<li>Problems reworked for SAP2000®.</li>
<li>Step-by-step examples of how to use SAP2000® for every application of structural dynamics.</li>
<li>Inclusion of companion Web site (extras.springer.com/2004) with three learning aids: SAP2000® student version; source code for the author’s educational programs in structural dynamics, so that the results of changed parameters can be seen step-by-step; and the compiler (executable files) for the author’s educational programs.</li>
<li>Three earthquake engineering chapters updated to the latest ICC® building codes.</li>
<li>Materials rearranged so that theory and dynamic analysis precede applications and special topics, facilitating using the book sequentially.</li>
<li>Complete instructions provided to advanced topics as foundation for further study.</li>
</ul>This text is essential for civil engineering students. Professional civil engineers will find it an ideal reference."
