Question 1

What does MCER stand for?

  • Maximum Contained Earthquake Response
  • Maximum Critical Earthquake Response
  • Maximum Considered Earthquake Response

💡 Hint: Focus on the definition of maximum expected motion.

Question 2

IS 1893 typically results in a more conservative design approach for low-period structures.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how the code handles different periods.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a scenario where you must determine the appropriate design spectrum for a new high-rise in a region classified as moderate seismic risk. Include considerations for site class and structure importance.

💡 Hint: Consider how local regulations and risk assessments influence this.

Question 2

Given two buildings, one designed using IS 1893 and the other using Eurocode, evaluate how their respective design spectra may differ when subjected to similar seismic events.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the implications of conservative designs versus site-specific optimizations.
