    1) Earthquake magnitude and intensity are different, with magnitude expressed in numbers and intensity expressed in Roman numerals. Peak ground acceleration and zero period acceleration are the same. 2) The expected shaking intensity in seismic zone IV is intensity VIII on the Modified Mercalli scale. The likely peak ground acceleration in zone IV is between 0.15g to 0.30g, with the Indian code providing a value of 0.24g. 3) As shaking intensity increases, the peak ground acceleration almost doubles with each level of increased intensity.

    Part II: True / False


    1.1) Earthquake Magnitude and Intensity are two different things. True. 1.2) Shaking intensity is expressed in Arabic numerals (for example, 6.5) False. Shaking intensity is expressed in Roman numerals (I, II, III, XII). Earthquake magnitude is expressed in Arabic numerals (e.g., 6.6) 1.3) Indian seismic zone map gives probabilistic zone map. False

    True / False

    1.4) Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) and Zero Period Acceleration (ZPA) are same. True 1.5) A rigid structure experiences same motion as that of the ground. True 1.6) Base isolation technique is very effective for flexible structures. False. Base isolation is most effective for stiff structures.

    Part III: Questions


    1.1) What is the expected shaking intensity in seismic zone IV?
    Areas in zone IV are liable to shaking intensity of VIII on the Modified Mercalli or MSK intensity scale.

    Questions
    1.2) What is the likely peak ground acceleration in seismic zone IV?
    Zone IV corresponds to intensity VIII. There can be a large variation in the PGA value recorded in intensity VIII area itself. Based on the recorded data from intensity VIII, an average value can be estimated. As seen in the table on slide 22 of Lecture 1, different empirical relationships estimate the average value of PGA in the range of 0.15g to 0.30g. Of course, these are average values only and the real value can be higher than 0.30g or lower than 0.15g. In this context, notice that the new code provides a Z value of 0.24g for zone IV which is consistent with the above values.

    Questions
    1.3) How does the peak ground acceleration increase with increase in shaking intensity?
    Notice the values in table on slide 22 of Lecture 1. Every time intensity increases by one, average value of PGA almost doubles. Compare this with the values of Z used in IS:1893-2002. As we go one zone higher, the Z value increases by a factor of 1.5 or 1.6. Again, this is consistent with the above.
