Abstract
The analysis of a column carrying a concentrated mass and subjected to a dynamic load is presented in its general form. The water tower is given as a specific example. Despite the singularity in the mass distribution function of the system, a closed form solution to the response problem is obtained. The Green function for the differential problem has been developed thus making the analysis applicable to any dynamic load.
