What is expected? (contd)

Parts II and III

To be completed by 14 January; before I send out the solutions of these to you. Please do not send the solutions to me. Compare your answers with the solutions I will send. Feel free to go back and review the lecture while answering the questions. Some questions may not have very specific answers

This is in line with our engineering profession wherein certain questions have no specific answers.

Part II: True / False

Identify the following statements as True or False


1.1) Earthquake Magnitude and Intensity are two different things. 1.2) Shaking intensity is expressed in Arabic numerals (for example, 6.5) 1.3) Indian seismic zone map gives probabilistic zone map. 1.4) Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) and Zero Period Acceleration (ZPA) are same. 1.5) A rigid structure experiences same motion as that of the ground. 1.6) Base isolation technique is very effective for flexible structures.
