Tacoma_Narrows_Bridge_(1940)
The 1940 Tacoma
Narrows Bridge
It was a steel suspension bridge
in the US state of Washington.
Construction began in 1938, with
the opening on 1st July 1940
From the time the deck was built,
it began to move vertically in
windy conditions (construction
workers nicknamed the bridge
Galloping Gertie).
The motion was observed even
when the bridge opened to the
public.
Several measures to stop the
motion were ineffective, and the
bridge’s main span finally
collapsed under 64 km/h wind
conditions the morning of 7th

Millennium_Bridge,_London
The Millennium Bridge
It is an iconic steel suspension
bridge for pedestrians crossing
the River Thames in London.
Construction began in 1998, with
the opening on 10th June 2000.
Londoners nicknamed the bridge
the Wobbly Bridge after
participants in a charity walk to
open the bridge felt an
unexpected and uncomfortable
swaying motion.
The bridge was then closed for
almost two years while
modifications were made to
eliminate the wobble entirely.
It was reopened in 2002.

Shaking Table Tests
The video shows the last,
destructive shaking table test
conducted in 2007 on a 1:2
scale model of a masonry
building resembling a special
type (the so-called Tipo Misto
Messinese), which is proper to
the reconstruction of the city of
Messina after the 1783 Calabria
earthquake.
The model, incorporating a novel
timber-concrete composite slab,
has been tested on the main
shaking table available at the
ENEA Research Centre
Casaccia in Rome, both before
and after the
reinforcement with FRP materials.

Newton’s Second Law of Motionr
What are the implications of Newton’s Second Law of
Motion from the point of view of a structural engineer?
Structures are not rigid, therefore they always
experience deformations when subjected to loads
The acceleration a is the rate of variation of the velocity
v, which in turn is the rate of variation of the
displacement u, that is:
a(t) =
d
dt
v(t) =
d2
dt2
u(t) (2)
It follows that, if the displacements vary rapidely, the
inertial forces (proportional to the masses) have to be
included in the dynamic equilibrium of the structure

A rigid mass, ideally moving
on frictionless wheels,

Equations of
motion for
SDoF
oscillators
Equation of Motion:
Unforced Undamped SDoF Oscillator
When the oscillator is displaced (u(t) is positive if directed to the
right), then an elastic force fk(t) = k u(t) arises in the spring at the
generic time t, and is applied to the left on the mass
According to Newton’s Second Law of Motion, the acceleration a(t)
is given by the net force acting on the mass m at time t, divided by
the mass itself, i.e. a(t) = fk(t)/m, and is directed to the left as well
The acceleration a(t) is therefore negative, and the inertial force
fm(t) = m a(t) felt by the oscillator is directed to the left in order to
reconcile the sign conventions

Equation of Motion:
Unforced Undamped SDoF Oscillator
The free (i.e. unforced) vibration of an undamped SDoF
oscillator is ruled by a 2nd-order homogeneous linear
ordinary differential equation (ODE) with
constant coefficients:
m ¨u(t) + k u(t) = 0 (3)
This equation can be rewritten as:
¨u(t) + !2
0 u(t) = 0 (4)
where !0 is the so-called undamped natural circular
frequency of vibration for the SDoF oscillator. This new
quantity is expressed in rad/s and is given by:

Equations of
motion for
SDoF
oscillators
Equation of Motion:
Unforced Damped SDoF Oscillator
The unrealistic feature of the solution presented in the
previous slides is that the motion of the SDoF oscillator
appears to continue indefinitely
The reason is that the effects of energy dissipation
phenomena are not considered
We must include a damping force in the equation of motion,
which acts in parallel with the elastic force fk (t) = k u(t),
proportional to the displacement, and the inertial force
fm(t) = m ¨u(t), proportional to the acceleration
Damping mechanics are very difficult to model, and the
simplest approach is to assume a viscous type of energy
dissipation, so that the damping force is proportional to the
velocity:
fc(t) = c ˙u(t) (16)
where c is the so-called viscous damping coefficient, usually
expressed in N⇥s/m (or kN⇥s/m)

One can mathematically prove that, assuming initial
conditions u(t) = u0 > 0 and v0 = 0:
If c = ccr (or ⇣0 = 1), then the system is said to be
critically damped, and the mass returns to the
equilibrium configuration (u = 0) without oscillating
If c > ccr (or ⇣0 > 1), then the system is said to be
overdamped, and the mass returns to the equilibrium
position at a slower rate, again without oscillating
If c < ccr (or ⇣0 < 1), then the system is said to be
underdamped, and the mass oscillates about the
equilibrium position with a progressively decreasing
amplitude

damping ratio ⇣0 is between 0.01 and 0.07, ⇣0 = 0.05 being

Equation of Motion: Forced SDoF Oscillator
For a sinusoidal load, F(t) = F0 sin(!f t), the particular
integral takes the expression:
up(t) = ⇢p sin(!f + 'p) (30)
That is, up(t) is again a sinusoidal function with the same
circular frequency !f as the input, while amplitude ⇢p and
phase angle 'p are given by:

Equations of

Equation of Motion: Forced SDoF Oscillator
For ! 0, the static case is approached (i.e. D ! 1), as the force
F(t) varies very slowly and therefore the mass m can follows it
For ! 1 and ⇣0 = 0 (undamped case), the system experience an
unbounded resonance, meaning that D ! +1 and (theoretically)
the amplitude of the dynamic response keeps increasing with time
If = 1 and 0  ⇣0 < 0.5, then D > 1, i.e. the amplitude of the
steady-state dynamic response ⇢p is larger than the static
displacement ust; moreover, the less ⇣0, the larger is D
If > 1.41, then D < 1, i.e. (independently of ⇣0) the amplitude of
the steady-state dynamic response ⇢p is less than the static
displacement ust
For ! +1, the dynamic amplification factor goes to zero (i.e.
D ! 0), as the force F(t) varies so rapidely that the mass m cannot
follows it
If ⇣0 0.707, then D < 1, meaning that (independently of the
frequency ratio ) the amplitude of the steady-state dynamic
response is less than the static displacement

Structures are not rigid, therefore they always experience deformations when subjected to loads The acceleration a is the rate of variation of the velocity v, which in turn is the rate of variation of the displacement u, that is: a(t) = d dt v(t) = d2 dt2 u(t) (2) It follows that, if the displacements vary rapidely, the inertial forces (proportional to the masses) have to be included in the dynamic equilibrium of the structure
