Small scale shake table testing. Assessment 50% 3 hr exam. 15% 1hr test (approx. date May 5) 35% coursework (4 or 5 assignments)
Philosophy and Purpose To provide:
1. An understanding of the principles of the Direct Stiffness Method, the basis of most structural and finite element analysis programs. 2. Experience in the use of a structural analysis program so that structural models that implement the principles of (1) can be examined. 3. An introduction to the dynamic behaviour of structures, with the objective of providing understanding and tools for predicting the response of structures to the effects of vibrating machinery, traffic, wind and especially earthquakes. 4. The basics of earthquake engineering, including the effects of structure properties such as regularity and symmetry on seismic response, and the roles of ductility, damping and isolation in mitigating earthquake damage. The background to the seismic design provisions in the NZ Loadings Standard.
Syllabus 1. Discrete methods of analysis versus the classical continuum approach.
Review of the fundamental concepts of equilibrium, compatibility and constitutive relationships. 2. Development of the direct stiffness method and its application to linear analysis of skeletal structures such as trusses and frames. Techniques to deal with the lack of fit, temperature effects, internal releases and prescribed displacements. A brief overview of the development for floor slabs, walls and frames will be included. 3. Dynamics of single degree of freedom systems: free vibration of undamped and damped systems, resonance, response to arbitrary force or ground motion, response spectra for seismic loading. 4. Dynamics of multi degree of freedom systems: free, undamped vibration of multi-storey ‘shear’ buildings, natural modes and frequencies, transformation to ‘normal’ coordinates, mode superposition and spectral modal analysis, equivalent static force method and background to loading code provisions, seismic isolation, response of continuous systems.
