EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT DESIGN OF BUILDINGS
Time: 3 Hours Max Marks: 70
Answer ONE Question from each Unit
All Questions Carry Equal Marks
All parts of the question must be answered in one place only
Note: Use of IS 1893:2002 (Part IS 13920 is Permitted
UNIT I
1. Explain the principal strong motion characteristics.
Explain the formation of earth and its interior.
2. Obtain the expression for natural frequency of single degree damped free vibration system.
What is a response spectrum? Discuss its role in earthquake resistant design of structures.
UNIT II
3. What are the different vertical irregularities in a building structure?
Give the procedure for identification of seismic damages in RCC buildings.
4. Mention the criteria's for earthquake resistance design of buildings.
In what way is the earthquake resistance of the structure affected by non-symmetry and elongated
shape of buildings?
UNIT III
5. A 10-storeyed RCC special moment resisting frame (SMRF) conforming to ductile detailing
provisions residential building with importance factor 1 is located in zone V. The height of each
storey is 3m. The area of each floor is 576m2 with a dead load as 2kN/m2. The live load on roof
is 1.5kN/m2. The structure is on medium soil. The damping in the structure is estimated to be
8.5%. Determine the design seismic forces on the structure by equivalent static force method.
Enumerate failure mechanisms of infilled frames through sketches.
6. Compare response spectrum method and seismic coefficient method. What for these methods
are used? Which one is preferred out of the two?
Explain briefly the effect of regular and irregular configurations of buildings due to earthquake.

UNIT IV
7. Give details about the procedure for design of shear walls as per IS 13920:1993.
What is ductility? Discuss the factors affecting the ductility of RCC structures.
8. Design a rectangular beam for 6m span to support a dead load of 15kN/m and a live load of
20kN/m inclusive of its own weight. Moment due to earthquake load is 120kN-m and shear force
is 80kN. Use M20 grade concrete and Fe 415 steel.
Explain the provision briefly for torsion in all buildings based on IS code method.
UNIT V
9. Mention the elastic properties of structural masonry.
Discuss the effect of openings on the seismic performance of masonry buildings.
10. Define Bands? At what levels in masonry buildings would you provide them? Give justification
for each of them
How would you identify the damages and non damages in masonry structures?
