Abstract

Summary

The vital step in preparing structures which can bear the maximum possible shaking is to understand how structures respond to ground motions from earthquakes. Response of structures to the maximum level of shaking is studied by determining the expected shaking intensity produced by an earthquake which is expressed in form of Peak ground acceleration (PGA), duration of shaking and local site conditions. The comparison of average response spectra with BIS code shows the current Indian code is applicable for the entire country is well within the structural limits proposed for the seismic forces at all periods for alluvium sites. If the buildings are designed as per the norms given by the BIS (2002), then a considerable amount of loss in terms of life and property can be reduced.
