Why to carry out dynamic analysis ?
Machine vibration
(always negative effect?
H.A. M 1.1
What will be the effect of truck (load) on bridge and response of bridge
(structure)?, when Truck: is
1) Standing (engine off) on bridge
2) Standing (engine on) on bridge
3) Moving on the bridge with a constant velocity (perfectly smooth road)
4) Moving on the bridge with a constant velocity (rough road )
5) Moving on the bridge with a variable velocity (rough road )
6) Moving on the bridge (condition 3) with a speed breaker in the middle of the
bridge
7) A truck with a capacity of 100 tonnes crosses the bridges half a million times while
carrying a load which is 60%
CE-412: of its capacity

Inertia force 1 ( Fallmotion
and relative 2015) within a building 24
What happens to the structures?
A portion of the Cypress Freeway after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake
Consider building
shown in video
1. consequences of
variation in acceleration
along height?
2. Inertial forces vary along
height ?
3. Structure will fail at
story with maximum
inertial force or ground
story?
Fourier amplitude
spectrum of a strong
ground motion expresses
the frequency content of
a motion very clearly.
Ln(PHA)(gals)=6.74 + 0.859M-1.8ln(R+25)

Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPE’s)
Cornell et al. (1979) [Contd…]
Example: A building is to be constructed at 25 Km distance away
from a fault which can generate an earthquake of magnitude 7.7. What
is the PHA that the building would experience.
