BICEE-006 EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING Time: 2 hours Maximum Marks: 70
Note: Question no. 1 is compulsory. Answer any four questions from the remaining questions. Assume missing data, if any. Use of scientific calculawr is allowed.
1. Choose the correct option in questions to below: 7x2=14
Earthquakes generally occur at plate boundaries,where
stress on rocks is greatest
stress on rocks is low
soft rock is found
magnetic pull is greatest
Which scale more accurately measures the magnitude of large earthquakes?
Modified Mercalli Scale
Richter Scale
Moment Magnitude Scale
Mohs Scale
What is elastic rebound?
The sudden return of deformed rock to its undeformed shape
The gradual return of deformed rock to its undeformed shape
The sudden return of undefonned rock to its deformed shape
The gradual return of undefonned rock to its deformed shape
Fault zones form at plate boundaries because
seismic gaps and shadow zones form there
very little rock stress and strain occur there
intense stress occurs there when the plates separate, collide, subduct or slide past each other
they have a long geologic history of occurring
Which of the following causes earthquakes?
Elastic rebound
Faults
Large cities
Release of heat wave
The Himalayas have emerged from which interplate interaction
Divergent plate boundary
Convergent plate boundary
Transformed plate boundary
None of these
Earthquake is classified as shallow focus if the focal depth is
less than 70 km
less than 7 km
less than 14 km
less than 700 km
2. What are the different types of seismic waves Compare their characteristics and manner of movement. 14
3. Derive an expression for the equation of motion of SDOF system for a viscously damped system. 14
4. What do you understand by 'seismic zones' What is the use of a seismic zone in construction 7
Discuss the precautions to be taken in the construction of masonry buildings for making them earthquake resistant. 7
5. What do you understand by intensity of an earthquake? Explain briefly. 7
What do you understand by of an earthquake. Explain with a neat sketch. 7
6. Describe the salient features of buildings required for making them earthquake resistant. 14
7. Write short notes on any four of the following: 4 x 3 1/2=14
Mode Shape
Irregular Buildings
Infill Walls
Isoseismal Map
Earthquake Losses
Non-Structural Elements
