Lightweight Structural Design

The Mass Mitigation Project (MMP) has demonstrated that assuming that dynamic loads are static in the structural analysis process can result in significant conservatism in the structural design. The underlying premise is that that the amplitude of motion in structural vibrations is a function of frequency. As one goes up in frequency, for a given load, displacement goes down exponentially and there
