This fifth volume in a set of nine volumes addressing structural dynamic systems provides a detailed treatment of the issues and advanced techniques involved in building and bridge structures. The volume's six contributions address techniques in vibration analysis of structural steel frames; techniques in transient analysis of semi-rigid steel frames; some techniques in optimal control of building frames; behavior and analysis techniques of tubular buildings; techniques in combined boundary element/finite strip/finite element analysis of bridges; and nonlinear analysis of thin-walled structures.
