Structural dynamics: Theory and computation

by Mario Paz

The book is interesting as well as scholarly and encourages the reader to continue rather than to put it down. The presentation and the many diagrams are excellent - Structural Engineer.

[Somesh Mathur]

I would recommend this book to both undergraduate as well as postgraduate students who wish to delve into the subject of Earthquake Engineering.

It serves as a precursor to Structural Dynamics by A.K.Chopra and the likes, in my opinion. having read both, I would put the book by Mario Paz to be mathematically oriented rather than focussing on the underlying concepts like that of Inertia. Hence the need to couple it with another book that focusses on the workings rather than just the Math's behind it.

All in all a great book. Helped me a lot during my undergraduate and MSc. Print size is a bit small but it's legible.

[Andre Ariono]

This is a must read book for people majoring in structure engineering such as civil engineering and ocean engineering. This book contain a lot of aspect for structural design, such as stiffness and natural frequencies of structure.

This book also contain Fortran Language for computate Structural Dynamics problem. This book also explain structural respond from working force such as wave force, wind force, and earthquake.

[Ayad ALDEKA]

This book is very useful for Earthquake Engineering.
