PART B— (6 x 13 = 65 marks) (@) Write in brief about - @ Seismic zoning ®) (i) Seismic Tectonics. 6) Or (®) What are the measurés to be taken in earthquake monitoring and seismic instrumentation? (a3)12, 13. 14, 15, 16. @) b) (a) ® (a) ) (a) (b) @ ) Derive the equation for multi degree of freedom for a two — storey shear building. 3) Or List out any two lessons that have been learnt from past earthquake. (13) Design a masonry wall from the following data : Unit weight of wall = 20 kNim? Prism strength of masonry = 7.5 N/mm? Seismic force at rooflevel = 20 KN at a height of 4 m from the base Length of the wall 5m. Height of the wall 6m (13) Or (@) What are the various methods of restoring an earthquake — resistant features that can be introduced to a masonry building to make it earthquake resistant. © Gi) List out the various earthquake — resistant features that can be introduced to a masonry building to make it earthquake resistant. 0) Write in detail about shear wall with neat sketches Also state its advantages and limitations. (a3) Or Design a rectangular RCC beam of 6 m span supported on a RCC column to carry a point of 100 kN in addition to its own weight. The moment due to seismic force is 5.01 KN.m and the shear force is 32 KN. Use M20 grade of concrete and Fe 415 Steel.
