Question 1

What does the design spectrum in IS 1893 primarily illustrate?

  • Base shear vs height
  • Spectral acceleration vs time period
  • Damping ratio vs load

💡 Hint: Focus on what the title suggests.

Question 2

True or False: The design spectrum accounts for structures with varying damping ratios.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Remember the standard ratio used.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A tall building in a seismic zone has a calculated fundamental period of 2 seconds. Referencing the design spectrum, calculate the expected spectral acceleration if the design spectrum indicates a value of 0.3g for that period.

💡 Hint: Refer to the design spectrum values for your calculations.

Question 2

Evaluate the implications of a building designed without considering the design spectrum in an area prone to earthquakes. Discuss potential structural failures or safety hazards.

💡 Hint: Think about how neglected design criteria could cause catastrophic consequences.
