Choice Review
Chopra's book fills a niche that exists between more elementary works and those designed for advanced graduate studies in structural dynamics and earthquake engineering. Chopra, a well-known expert in earthquake engineering and structural dynamics engaged in teaching and research over the past 25 years, writes on vibrations and the dynamics of structures, and demonstrates their application to structural motions caused by earthquake ground-shaking. The material is presented very clearly with numerous illustrative examples, so that university students or readers practicing engineering should have no difficulty in studying the subject by means of this book without any outside tutoring. An especially interesting feature is the application of structural dynamics theory to important issues in the seismic response and design of multistory buildings. The information presented will be of special value to those engineers who are engaged in actual seismic design and want to improve their understanding of the subject. The mathematics is kept as simple as possible in the application of structural dynamics theory to the earthquake response and the design of multistory buildings.
