Abstract

For many steel structures the dynamic performance under actions varying in time has to be determined, e.g. for cranes or parts of cranes driven by machines, for guyed masts loaded by wind, for movable bridges or bridges in errection stages or under traffic loads, or structures loaded by earthquakes. There are three dynamic situations that are mainly of concern:

  • the dynamic performance under normal service conditions, e.g. for determining impact or fatigue effects or for checking the effects of active control by which the dynamic performance shall be improved;

  • the performance in critical situations with extreme loading conditions exceeding normal serve conditions [HSN91], when ultimate limit states may be reached at particular zones of the structure;

  • the performance in overcritical situations, when due to the interaction of local failure zones kinematic systems may be formed which may lead to significant dynamic responses and yield a collapse of the structure.
