Riassunto

This book covers some important aspects of modern developments in the area of structural dynamics. In context with the need of a realistic analysis it emphasizes the consideration of statistical uncertainties inherent in load as well as material properties. The volume concentrates on areas such as load modeling, structural response analysis and computational reliabilty procedures. A number of practical examples, such as the dynamic analysis of liquid storage tanks, tall industrial chimneys, containment structures, etc. show how the theoretical and compuational procedures are easily applied.
