1a) Derive the equation of motion for the given structure, with control devices as shown in

figure. Convert this equation into state-space form. [10]

1b) Mention the modelling criteria of the metal dampers. How do you model yielding type metal
dampers? Explain.
2a) Design lead plug isolators for face columns with high damping rubber for a seven-story
building with given information:
Total weight of the building = 49,000 kN

Total number of supports/isolators = 15

Average vertical load on the 3 interior columns = 6000 kN
Average vertical load on the 4 corner columns= 1500 kN
Average vertical load on the 6 face columns = 4000 kN
Fixed base fundamental period of the structure = 0.7 sec
Reduction factor = 4
Spectral coefficient for the site for DBE = 0.60
Assume all necessary data suitably for given bearing system.
2b) Explain the working principle of tuned mass dampers on mathematical basis.
