Learning outcomes: Knowledge He knows the problems of the dynamic range of the building. He knows the method of formulating the equations in the dynamics of the structure. He knows the problems of vibration with one degree of freedom. He knows the method for determining the vibration systems with finite number of coordinates. He knows discretization methods rod systems. He knows the design of methods including dynamic effects. Skills He can assign vibration of the structure is treated as a one or a finite number of coordinates for different types of loads. He can determine the parameters of the design and build of the equation of motion. He can take into account the dynamic aspects in the design of the structure.

Competences: Is aware of problems in the design and dynamic study of the structure.

Prerequisites: Knowledge of statics and mechanics of structures.
