Dynamic analysis of structure/foundation systems
Joseph Penzien
Abstract
A review of current procedures being used in engineering practice to analyze the response of structure/foundation systems subjected separately to different types of dynamic excitation, such as earthquake, sea-wave action, wind, or moving wheel loads, is presented. Separate formulations are given for analyzing systems in the time and frequency domains. Both deterministic and stochastic forms of excitation are treated. A distinction is made between demand and capacity analyses.
Key Words
dynamic analysis; structure/foundation system; time-domain; frequency-domain; nonlinear analysis; performance evaluation.
