An expert on structural dynamics and earthquake engineering, Anil K. Chopra fills an important niche, explaining the material in a manner suitable for both students and professional engineers with his fifth edition, in SI units of Dynamics of Structures: Theory and Applications to Earthquake Engineering. No prior knowledge of structural dynamics is assumed, and the presentation is detailed and integrated enough to make the text suitable for self-study.
It is a must-have book for Earthquake Engineering students. The language used is straightforward. The page quality and printing are excellent. Lots of solved and unsolved problems are given to clear the concepts. The answers (not complete solution) to the unsolved problems are provided at the back.
