Description of module content:


Unit 1: Introduction of structural dynamics
Unit 2: Single degree of freedom (SDOF) systems
Unit 3: Un-damped and damped free vibration of SDOF systems
Unit 4: Response of SDOF systems to harmonic, periodic and arbitrary dynamic excitations
Unit 5: Numerical evaluation of dynamic response of SDOF systems
Unit 6: Introduction to Multiple Degree of Freedom (MDOF) System
Unit 7: Introduction to Earthquake Engineering
Unit 8: Principles of structural analysis in Earthquake resistant design.
Unit 9: Estimating seismic actions to Eurocode 8
Unit 10: Seismic analysis in context of profesional Codes (Eurocode 8)
Learning Outcomes for module:


LO1: evaluate the dynamic response of structures using common analytical techniques
LO2: apply classical analytical and numerical methods to solve the dynamic response of simple structures
LO3: apply the numerical solution techniques (finite element method or other maths tools) and critically apply these techniques to the analysis and modelling of dynamic problems of civil engineering structures;
LO4: Design structures based on seismic requirements in Eurocodes.
