Part II: True / False
Identify the following statements as True or False
2.1) Seismic force depends on mass of the structure.
2.2) In IS 1893(Part 1):2002, there are five seismic zones.
2.3) In IBC 2003, response modification factor for buildings with good ductility is lower than that for elevated tanks on frame type staging.
2.4) In IS 1893:1984, performance factor, K for buildings with good ductility is more than that for elevated tanks.
2.5) Importance factor for tanks is higher than for buildings.
2.6)Damping of structure does not affect base shear coefficient.
2.7) In IS 1893(Part 1):2002, base shear coefficient depends on type of foundation.
