Structural Dynamics in Civil Engineering Course
This course equips civil engineers with essential structural dynamics knowledge. Model bridges using SDOF systems, analyse moving loads and earthquakes, calculate amplifications and shears, and make informed decisions on serviceability, safety, and when advanced analyses are needed, all aligned with engineering codes.

What will I learn?
Gain practical skills to model simply supported concrete bridges, assess moving load impacts, and evaluate seismic responses with SDOF techniques. Master mass and stiffness estimation, Newmark-beta methods, response spectra analysis, dynamic amplification and base shear calculations, plus knowing when to use advanced MDOF or nonlinear analysis for accurate results.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Perform moving load analysis to calculate dynamic amplification in truck-bridge interactions.
- Model bridges as SDOF systems by idealising RC spans and estimating mass, stiffness, and damping.
- Apply seismic SDOF design using response spectra for base shear and displacement determination.
- Evaluate dynamic responses for serviceability based on peak displacements and forces.
- Determine limitations of SDOF modelling and need for MDOF or nonlinear approaches.
