Question 1.
Define ductility in the context of RC structures.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how structures behave during earthquakes.
Question 2.
What is the purpose of the Importance Factor (I) in seismic design?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how different types of buildings are prioritized.
3Question 3.
What is ductility?
- A measure of strength
- Ability to deform without breaking
- Resistance to shear forces
Show hintHide hint
Think about deformation during earthquakes.
4Question 4.
The Importance Factor is used to?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider critical facilities.
Question 5.
Design a beam and a column system for a multi-story building in a high seismic zone. Ensure the design reflects the strong column-weak beam principle. What implications does this have on material choice and dimensions?
Show hintHide hint
Consider required moments and reinforcement ratios in your calculations.
Question 6.
Critique an existing building that failed during an earthquake. Identify the flaws in its ductility provisions according to IS 13920 and propose a retrofitting technique based on your analysis.
Show hintHide hint
Use specific IS codes to validate your proposed intervention.
