Question Paper
1. Define the following terms briefly:
Epicentre and Focus
Liquefaction
Intensity of earthquake
Magnitude of earthquake
2. What are direct and indirect seismic effects Explain, in detail, any two direct effects.
3. Discuss how RC framed high rise buildings may behave differently from brick masonry short height buildings. What is the role of stiffness of buildings in such a difference of performance?
4. What are the various approaches in seismic control of structures Explain anyone in detail.
5. What do you understand by 'Irregular buildings' Describe why a soft storey in a building is undesirable, considering possible displacements in a seismic event.
6. Differentiate between the characteristics of 'Primary and Secondary seismic waves'. Draw neat sketches to show their movement patterns.
7. What do you understand by a 'multi degree of freedom system' Discuss how base shear is distributed in such a system representing a building.
