EG7033 Structural Dynamics and Stability.

This is a highly efficient assignment relating to dynamics and stability, this will help you enhance the ability to tackle problems in the field so that you can work efficiently in the field.

The full-scale reinforced concrete (RC) frame shown in Figure 1 was subjected to the seismic excitation (dynamic type of loading) using a shake table. The experimental work was part of an EU funded research project that Dr Anca Ciupala participated in.

The dimensions of the frame, material properties and dimensions of the cross section of the structural elements (beams, columns, slab) are as follows:

 Span in each direction: 4.0 m.

 Height of each floor: 3.3 m.

 Beams: 260 x 400 mm.

 Columns: 260 x 260 mm.

 Slab: 120 mm thickness.

 Concrete Young`s modulus: 13500 MPa.

 RC specific weight: 25 kN/m3.
