Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering Syllabus for B.Tech 7th sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering B.Tech (R13) seventhsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
The main objective of the course is to introduce dynamic loading and the dynamic performance of the structures to the students. Different types of dynamic loading also to be discussed. The detailed study on the performance of structures under earthquake loading is also one of the focus of the course.
UNIT I : THEORY OF VIBRATIONS [9 hours]
Difference between static loading and dynamic loading – Degree of freedom – idealisation of structure as single degree of freedom system – Formulation of Equations of motion of SDOF system – D’Alemberts principles – effect of damping – free and forced vibration of damped and undamped structures – Response to harmonic and periodic forces.
UNIT II : MULTIPLE DEGREE OF FREEDOM SYSTEM [9 hours]
Two degree of freedom system – modes of vibrations – formulation of equations of motion of multi degree of freedom (MDOF) system – Eigen values and Eigen vectors – Response to free and forced vibrations – damped and undamped MDOF system – Modal superposition methods.
UNIT III : ELEMENTS OF SEISMOLOGY [9 hours]
Elements of Engineering Seismology – Causes of Earthquake – Plate Tectonic theory – Elastic rebound Theory – Characteristic of earthquake – Estimation of earthquake parameters – Magnitude and intensity of earthquakes – Spectral Acceleration.
