Vibration Problems in Structures: Practical Guidelines

by Hugo Bachmann

Large structures such as factories, concert halls, bridges, towers and chimneys can be detrimentally affected by vibrations. This book provides structural and civil engineers working in construction and environmental engineering with practical guidelines for counteracting vibration problems. Dynamic actions are considered from vibrations sources such as human body motions, rotating, oscillating and impacting machines, wind flows and road traffic. The main section of the book presents tools that aid in decision-making and in deriving simple solutions to cases of frequently occurring vibration problems.
