Abstract:
The recent advancement in technology has brought about a huge amount of change in the
method of design of structures. Now, apart from the gravity load carrying capacity the
engineers are also concerned about the vulnerability of the structures on account of seismic
loads. Ultimately, the structure has to be erected on the ground only. Hence, the ground
response to various earthquake loads becomes highly important. In this report, two ground
motions (near-field and far-field) are applied at a station in Delhi. The same is done for a
station in Guwahati and the difference in ground response to both the applied motions is
obtained and discussed.
