Preface to the Third Edition The basic structure of the two previous editions is maintained in this third edition, although numerous revisions and additions have been introduced. Three new chapters on earthquake-resistant design of buildings have been incorporated into Part VI of the book. The computer programs formerly written in FORTRAN for execution on mainframe computers have been expanded and rewritten in BASIC for implementation on microcomputers. Two independent packages of computer programs are used throughout the book: A structural dynamics package of 20 interactive computer programs and an earthquake-resistant design package of 10 interactive programs. The structural dynamics package includes programs to determine the response of a single oscillator in the time domain, or in the frequency domain using the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform). It also includes a program to determine the response of an inelastic system with elastoplastic behavior, and another program for the development of seismic response spectral charts. A set of seven computer programs is included for use in modeling structures as two-dimensional and three-dimensional frames and trusses. Finally, other programs, incorporating modal superposition or a step-by-step time history xv

xvi Preface to the Third Edition solution, are provided for calculation of the responses to forces or motions exciting the structure. The new chapters in earthquake-resistant design of buildings describe the provisions of both the 1985 and 1988 versions of the UBC (Uniform Building Code) for the static lateral force method and for the dynamic lateral force method. Other revisions of the book include the presentation of the Newmark beta method to obtain the time history response of dynamic systems, and the direct integration method in which the response is found assuming that the excitation function is linear for a specified time interval. A modification of the dynamic condensation method, which has been developed recently by the author for the reduction of eigenproblems, is presented in Chapter 13. The proposed modification substantially reduces the numerical operation required in the implementation of the dynamic condensation method. The subjects in this new edition are organized in six parts. Part I deals with structures modeled as single degree-of-freedom systems. It introduces basic concepts and presents important methods for the solution of such dynamic systems. Part II introduces important concepts and methodology for multidegree-of-freedom systems through the use of structures modeled as shear buildings. Part III describes methods for the dynamic analysis of framed structures modeled as discrete systems with many degrees of freedom. Part IV presents the mathematical solution for some simple structures modeled as systems with distributed properties, thus having an infinite number of degrees of freedom. Part V, which contains one chapter, introduces the reader to the fascinating topic of random vibration. Finally, Part VI presents the important current topic of earthquake engineering with applications to earthquakeresistant design of buildings following the provisions of the Uniform Building Codes of 1985 and 1988. Several considerations-different sizes of diskettes (3 1/2 inch or 51/ 4 inch), different versions of the programs (compiled or not compiled), and the anticipation of future updating-contributed to a final decision not to include in the book the program diskettes. Diskettes with the computer programs, in several versions, are available directly from the author. A convenient form to order the selected version of the. programs is provided in the back of the book. The author believes that, just as knowledge of a combination of figures and turns is needed to open a safe, a combination of knowledge on the subjects of mathematics, theory of structures, and computer programming is needed today for successful professional practice in engineering. To provide the reader with such a combination of knowledge has been the primary objective of this book. The reader may wish to inform the author on the extent to which this objective has been fulfilled. Many students, colleagues, and practicing professionals have suggested improvements, identified typographical errors, and recommended additional top-

Preface to the Third Edition xvii ics for inclusion. All these suggestions were carefully considered and have been included in this third edition whenever possible. During the preparation of this third edition, I became indebted to many people to whom I wish to express my appreciation. I am grateful to John D. Hooper and to Robert D. Anderson, consulting engineers on the west coast, who most diligently reviewed the three new chapters in earthquake engineering. Their commentary and suggestions were most useful in making the presentation of the material in these chapters closer to present engineering practice. I am thankful to my colleague Dr. Joseph Hagerty for carefully reading and editing the manuscript of the new chapters. I am also grateful to Dean Leo Jenkins of Speed Scientific School and to Dr. Manuel Schwartz, of the Department of Physics, who reviewed the manuscript at the early stages of its preparation. A special acknowledgment of gratitude is extended to my friend Dr. Edwin A. Tuttle, Professor of Education, who most kindly spent many hours checking my English grammar. My thanks also go to Miss Debbie Gordon for her competent typing of the manuscript. To those people whom I recognized in the prefaces to the first and second editions for their help, I again express my wholehearted appreciation. Finally, I give due recognition to my wife, Jean, who with infinite patience and dedication helped me in editing the whole manuscript. Any remaining errors are mine. MARIO PAZ

Preface to the First Edition Natural phenomena and human activities impose forces of time-dependent variability on structures as simple as a concrete beam or a steel pile, or as complex as a multistory building or a nuclear power plant constructed from different materials. Analysis and design of such structures subjected to dynamic loads involve consideration of time-dependent inertial forces. The resistance to displacement exhibited by a structure may include forces which are functions of the displacement and the velocity. As a consequence, the governing equations of motion of the dynamic system are generally nonlinear partial differential equations which are extremely difficult to solve in mathematical terms. Nevertheless, recent developments. in the field of structural dynamics enable such analysis and design to be a c ~ o m p in l ia spractical h e d and efficient manner. This work is facilitated through the use of simplifying assumptions and mathematical models, and of matrix methods and modem computational techniques. In the process of teaching courses on the subject of structural dynamics, the author came to the realization that there was a definite need for a text which would be suitable for the advanced undergraduate or the beginning graduate engineering student being introduced to this subject. The author is xix

xx Preface to the First Edition familiar with the existence of several excellent texts of an advanced nature but generally these texts are, in his view, beyond the expected comprehension of the student. Consequently, it was his principal aim in writing this book to incorporate modem methods of analysis and techniques adaptable to computer programming in a manner as clear and easy as the subject permits. He felt that computer programs should be included in the book in order to assist the student in the application of modem methods associated with computer usage. In addition, the author hopes that this text will serve the practicing engineer for purposes of self-study and as a reference source. In writing this text, the author also had in mind the use of the book as a possible source for research topics in structural dynamics for students working toward an advanced degree in engineering who are required to write a thesis. At Speed Scientific School, University of Louisville, most engineering students complete a fifth year of study with a thesis requirement leading to a Master in Engineering degree. The author's experience as a thesis advisor leads him to believe that this book may well serve the students in their search and selection of topics in subjects currently under investigation in structural dynamics. Should the text fulfill the expectations of the author in some measure, particularly the elucidation of this subject, he will then feel rewarded for his efforts in the preparation and development of the material in this book.
