Finite element methods, such as the ANSYS, are widely used as traditional structural dynamic analysis methods. Due to the low calculation efficiency of the ANSYS, there is a hindrance factor in using the finite element method to compute the elastic-plastic responses of special engineering structures. In this paper, we detail a pioneer study in which the transfer matrix method of multibody system (MS-TMM) was introduced to analyze the dynamic responses of civil engineering structures. Although the responses obtained by the MS-TMM are similar to the responses obtained by the ANSYS, the ANSYS requires a greater amount of computation time. The results indicate that the MS-TMM can satisfy the requirements of calculation efficiency and calculation accuracy.
