Vibration Analysis of Frame Structures Using Spectral Element Method

The spectral element method has advantage compared to other numerical methods in possibility to describe the structure with minimal number of elements and in dynamic analysis in frequency domain which enables taking into account the soil- structrue interaction through impedance functions. Scope of the research is theory and application of spectral elements to frame structures, including deep beams, considering the soil-structure interaction. Special attention is dedicated to the spectral elements based on Timoshenko's beam theory that takes into account the beam-shear deformations. A special program in Matlab has been developed in order to calculate the structural response of frame strcutures to the earthquake, traffic and other types of dynamic loadings.
