1. The document discusses vibration analysis of single degree of freedom (SDOF) systems subjected to earthquake loading.
2. It covers various topics including free vibration of undamped and damped SDOF systems, response to harmonic and arbitrary loading, and multi degree of freedom systems.
3. The key equations of motion for free vibration, damped vibration, and forced vibration under harmonic loading are presented. Solution methods such as normal mode analysis and response history analysis are also introduced.
