GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY

CIVIL (STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING) (20)


STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS AND EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING
SUBJECT CODE: 2722010
SEMESTER: II

Type of course: Core

Prerequisite: Mechanics of Solids, Structural Analysis, Matrix Methods of Structural Analysis


and Engineering Mathematics

Rationale: Earthquakes are one of the most devastating natural hazards that cause great loss of life and
livelihood because of collapse of structures. Earthquakes impose time-dependant lateral inertia forces
on the structure. To make a structure earthquake resistant, it is to be designed for lateral loads in addition
to gravity loads. The lateral loads acting on structure are calculated using theory of structural dynamics.
Therefore, the understanding of structural dynamics, characteristic of earthquakes and its effect on
structure is essential for safe design of civil engineering structures.

(b) estimate lateral forces acting on symmetric as well as asymmetric buildings,
(c) find mode shapes and natural frequency,
(d) carry out seismic response analysis of a structure,
(e) design and detail to enhance ductility,
(f) understand various seismic response control strategies,
(g) design earthquake resistant masonry structures.

Review Presentation (RP): The concerned faculty member shall provide the list of peer reviewed
Journals and Tier-I and Tier-II Conferences relating to the subject (or relating to the area of thesis for
seminar) to the students in the beginning of the semester. The same list will be uploaded on GTU
website during the first two weeks of the start of the semester. Every student or a group of students shall
critically study 2 papers, integrate the details and make presentation in the last two weeks of the
semester. The GTU marks entry portal will allow entry of marks only after uploading of the best 3
presentations. A unique id number will be generated only after uploading the presentations. Thereafter
the entry of marks will be allowed. The best 3 presentations of each college will be uploaded on GTU
website
