This book presents a series of integrated computer programs in Fortran90 forthe dynamic analysis of structures using the finite element method. Twodimensional continuum structures such as walls are covered along with skeletalstructures such as rigid jointed frames and plane grids. Response to generaldynamic loading of single degree freedom systems is calculated and the authoralso examines multi degree of freedom systems including earthquake analysis.Each chapter covers a different aspect of analytic theory and the correspondingprogram segments.It will be an essential tool for practising structural and civil engineerswhilst also being of interest to academics and postgraduate students. «
