2A.

Write a short note on case studies of any two major Indian earthquakes

The mass of a SDOF system is subjected to a dynamic force of Po sinro t. Allowing for viscous damping, obtain expression for amplitude of steady state vibration. (5)

2B.

For the system shown in figure 1, mass m = 8000 kg, and Vo = 35 mm. If the maximum displacement on the return swing is 25 mm at 0.6 see, determine (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) Spring stiffness Damping ratio Damping constant Amplitude after 8 cycles. (5)

3A.

A single-degree of freedom damped system is composed of a mass of 15 kg, a spring having a spring constant of 2500 N/m and a dashpot having a damping constant of 60 N-S 1m. The mass of the system is acted by a harmonic force F = Fo sin ro t having

a maximum value of 260 N and a frequencyof 6 Hz. Determinethe completesolution for the motion of the mass. 38. 4A. 48. 5. Write the equation of motion for the structureshown in figure 2 Why are open~groundstorey buildingsVulnerablein earthquake? Write a note on strong column weak beamdesign (5) (5) (6) (4) An six storied R~C.Cframed building with live load of 4 kN/m2on floors is to be constructed in.Delhion hard soil. Workout seismic forces o~ the structure.All beams
