      Effect of stiffness on T: Compare fundamental natural periods of buildings E & F as well as G & H. Why is there a marginal or significant difference in the fundamental natural periods?    The time period of E and F are 1.6891.622 . The time pperiod of both building arer same . The…

1Q)  As the structure is more restrained it will be more shrinkage , and cracking. There will be more shrinkage , the shear wall in the structure is also decide the vibration is more or not  The Torsion in structure C is more than compared to A,B. The redundancy in structure A,B is smore compared to Structure…

1) Symmertry : Symmertry section are the same which reflects same as the mirror image. it is obeserved that mass and stifeness are distributed symmetrically. Redundancy: The energy dissipation is low    Bi- Directional stifness The Horizontal building may not assit the Seismic action in the short direction. Ductility:…

1)    2a) 2b)   3) 4)

1A) This is flexural failure of a beam . When imposed load is exceed  Flexural capacity of a beam this types of failures happen. This type of failures are repaired we have to cut that part with the help of jacks we have to adject . 1B)   This is honey combing failure .This failure happens when concrete not vibrated…
