7. Damping in structures

Damping is a significant source of energy dissipation in case of earthquakes. More than 50% energy is dissipated by the damping itself. Strain energy and inelastic energy are like 30% or so. Then there is stiffness proportional damping taking care of rest of the energy pumped into the system. But what is the damping value for buildings with various heights? Can we develop some sort of relations between damping and period of the building?

The reason for doing so is, we need to make sure that we are not overestimating the damping and under designing the elements or underestimating the damping and over designing the elements. I know it is hard to describe damping but we can get that value if we get building motion records during earthquakes or even free oscillations.

Freedom at midnight

. Do you think cinema can capture the reader’s imagination from a book? Ans: Not always. I will give an example of a passage from Larry Collins and Dominique Lappiere’s book “Freedom at midnight”. “In the August of 1947 a mirage of prosperity concealed the reality of Calcutta. The lush green sweep of the maidan, the Georgian mansions and the offices of the great trading companies along Chowringee Road were a façade as false as a cinema set. Behind them lay a human sewer packed with the densest concentration of human beings on the face of earth. They included 400,000 beggars and 40,000 lepers. The slums they inhabited were a fetid stinking horror. The rare water that flowed through the pumps was usually polluted with the corpses decomposing in the Hooghly river. At the time India was about to attain her freedom 3 million people in Calcutta lived in a state of chronic undernourishment and existed on an intake inferior to that of which was given to the inmates of Hitler’s death camps.

Madhavdara – Simhachalm The view of Vizag this place has to offer during this trail is amazing. Starting from Madhav Swamy temple in Madhavdara, one can reach the top of the hill in two hours.  Madhavdara – Simhachalm trail  is one of the first and oldest trails from the temple at the foot of the hill to Simhachalm. One the way you can find some beautiful viewpoints from which the city looks beautiful. You can stop by a lake that you will across while climbing to relax.
