Resumo

<p>Dynamic condensation has always received little attention from civil engineering community due to the recent huge diffusion of sophisticated Finite Element packages and powered computers.</p><p>Despite all of this, on hand simple models are attractive for the possibility to manage large systems with very few variables.</p><p>It follows that prediction of static and dynamic general behaviour under different type of loads speeds up for sensitive analysis. Worst loading cases could be selected and thus applied to a more general F.E. model to display detailed forces inside the structure.</p><p>This paper shows how to get a condensed dynamic model starting from a F.E. Model through a numerical approach. Three case histories are reported.</p>
