Urban Resilience Project

Training Outline:

Structural Dynamics

• Free vibration SDOF (undamped, damped)


• Damping in structures


• Forced vibration


• Vibration due to base motion

How to deal with large seismic force

• Comparison of wind and seismic load of simple building


• Ductility and energy dissipation capacity


• Structural system and system parameters

How to Deal with Huge Earthquake Force

• Isolate structure from ground (Base Isolation)


• Increase Damping (Passive Energy Dissipation)


• Allow Inelastic Response
