Th contribution dals with optimal topology dsign of civil structurs in dynamics. Earthquak loading is considrd. Th arthquak xcitation has multi-frquncy contnt. Th dynamic input is dfind on th bas of Eurocod 8. Th push-ovr curv is applid in dynamic analysis. Th practic in civil nginring rquirs cost minimization and fulfillmnt th safty conditions. Th optimal topology dsign of structur loadd by arthquak is focusd. Th topology problm is dfind as a matrial distribution problm. Dnsitis in discrtizd lmnts of th structur ar th variabls of th optimization. Th rlationship btwn mass and th stiffnss is dfind on th bas of th SIMP mthod. Th objctiv of th structural optimization is th minimum wight of th structur. Th dsign spac is constraind by conditions basd on natural frquncis and on th maximum displacmnt dfind on th push-ovr curv. Kywords: Topology optimization of structurs, Dynamics, Earthquak. 1. ITRODUCTIO Th civil nginring and mchanical nginring practic rquirs solution of topology problms of structurs in dynamics. Th contribution proposs optimal topology dsign of structurs in dynamics loadd by xcitation with multi-frquncy contnt. Th xcitation with multi-frquncy contnt appars in civil nginring during arthquaks, by wind loading, loading inducd by human activitis. In mchanical nginring th multifrquncy xcitation is causd by machins. Th papr focuss th arthquak xcitation. 2. DYAMICS Th dynamic analysis of th structur is rpatd in ach optimization stp. Th nonlinar analysis in tim domain is vry xpnsiv and not accptabl in th optimization procdur. Th frquncy domain nabls th fficint way of th solution. Th rcourss providd in Eurocod 8 [3] ar applid. Th considration of risk is in this approach includd.
Th analysis in dynamics consists of following stps: 1. Solution of th ignvalu problm 2 K ρ i M Φ i 0, i = 1,...,. (1) with stiffnss matrix K ρ, mass matrix M ρ, natural frquncy i and mods Φ i. 2. Th psudo-acclration spctrum is from Eurocod 8 [3] slctd. Figur 1. Th psudo-acclration spctrum 3. To th structural priod T o th corrsponding spctral acclration S a is found. 4.
