CE227 Course Syllabus

The course CE 227 Introduction to Structural Dynamics is taught by Dr. Gilford B. Estores. The course deals with modeling structures as single-degree-of-freedom and multi-degree-of-freedom systems to analyze their dynamic behavior. Topics include undamped and damped single-degree systems, harmonic loading, general dynamic loading, and response spectra. Grading is based on attendance, presentations, problem sets, and research with grades ranging from 5 to 1 based on percentage scores. References include books on structural dynamics and earthquake engineering.

Course Title: Introduction to Structural Dynamics

Course Description: The course deals with structures modeled as single-degree-of-freedom systems. It
introduces basic concepts in Structural Dynamics and presents important methods for the solution of
such dynamic systems. It also introduces important concepts and methodology for multi-degree-of-
freedom systems through the use of structures modeled as shear buildings.
