The building is located in seismic zone type of soil medium stiff and building is SMRF type. D.L. 10 kN/m^2 and L.L. 3 kN/m^2 on each floor. Determine the design seismic forces by equivalent lateral force method.

5. Explain with neat sketches the design principles of towers and chimneys with respect to the evaluation of continuous systems under seismic vibrations.

6. Write short notes of any two of the following:
