EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT STRUCTURES

  • Elements of Engineering seismology – theory of vibration – modeling of earthquakes
  • SDOF system- systems subjected to base excitation –Amplification factors – vibration measuring instruments
  • MDOF system – modeling of multistorey buildings – free vibration - modes of vibration – damping – response spectra concepts – displacement, velocity and acculturation spectra – response of MDOF system subjects to base excitation – symmetrical structures
  • Unsymmetrical structures – codal provisions for seismic structures (IS1893)
  • Types of seismic resistant structures – general guideline modern concepts – base isolation, tuned mass damper.
