Syllabus SD 2016 Fall

This document contains the syllabus for the course CIVE.5570 Structural Dynamics taught in the fall 2016 semester. The course aims to provide an understanding of the dynamic behavior of civil engineering structures like buildings and bridges. Topics covered include formulation of dynamic equations, free and forced vibration of single-degree-of-freedom and multi-degree-of-freedom systems, response spectra, numerical methods, earthquake engineering, and structural control methods. The course will be taught on Wednesdays from 6:30-9:20pm in room KI305. Grading will be based on homework assignments, a midterm exam, and a final exam.

Course Description
This course aims to provide an understanding of the dynamic behavior of civil engineering struc-
tures with an emphasis on buildings and bridges. Formulation approaches of dynamic govern-
ing equations of structural systems are first introduced. Free vibration and forced (harmonic,
periodic, arbitrary, impulse) vibration of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) and multi-degree-of-
freedom (MDOF) systems are analyzed with examples. Response and design spectra of structures
are introduced. Numerical methods used for determining the linear and nonlinear responses of
structures are also investigated. Introductory earthquake engineering and soil-structure inter-
action are provided. Finally, analysis and design of structural control methods including tuned
mass dampers (TMD) and base isolators are explained. Matlab (Matrix Laboratory r , Math-
Work, Inc.) codes are provided and used in solving numerical examples.

Grading Policy
There will be four homework assignments (10% each) and two exams (30% mid-term and 30%
final). All homework assignments must be turned in on time. The late policy is stated as follows:
(1) 25% reduction for ”less than one day” late; (2) 50% reduction for ”one to two days” late;
and (3) 100% reduction for ”more than two days” late.
