Assignment 2: Date of Assignment: 15 January E-Course On IS:1893-2002 (Part I)

This document provides an assignment on analyzing earthquake response and design criteria based on Indian Standard IS:1893-2002. It includes reading assignments on sections of the standard and earthquake tips from the NICEE website. There are true/false questions and calculation questions regarding response spectra, damping ratios, and determining maximum seismic forces on a single-degree-of-freedom structural system. Diagrams of sample response spectra are provided.

Assignment 2 / Slide 2

Part II: True/ False

Identify the following statements as True or False


2.1) Response Spectrum gives the maximum response of a single-degree-of-freedom system to the ground motion. 2.2) For each accelerogram, there is a unique response spectrum for a given level of damping. 2.3) For 5% damping acceleration spectrum, the ordinates in the period range 0.1-0.3sec are about 5 times the peak ground acceleration 2.4) Modal Mass depends on how the mode shapes have been scaled 2.5) Indian seismic zone map in IS:1893 is based on 2% probability of its being exceeded in 50 years. 2.6) Soft storey and weak storey mean the same things. 2.7) The code restricts the inter-storey displacement to be within 0.4% of the storey height

Part III: Questions


2.1) Consider the acceleration response spectrum in Fig. A1. What is the peak ground acceleration (PGA) of this ground motion. 2.2) Consider the acceleration spectrum of Fig. A1. Obtain maximum acceleration experienced by a single degree of freedom system of natural period 0.5 sec and damping 5%. 2.3) A ground motion is such that its PGA is 0.6g but it has the same shape of response spectrum as of Fig. A1. Calculate maximum acceleration experienced by a SDOF system of natural period 0.5 sec and damping 5%.
