1. Choose Siesmic Vibration Control, Discuss and Illustrate.

Hysteretic Damper. The device is a combination of a mechanical bearing to carry the vertical load and a
hysteretic elasto-plastic damper capable of controlling the horizontal force level and to dissipate energy
due to the earthquake.
The devices fulfill the following requirements:

Transmit the vertical loads due to permanent and accidental effects;

Allow the rotation between the structure and the infrastructures up to 0.01 rad

Allow, with very low reaction the parasite reaction due to structure length variations due to creep,
shrinkage and thermal effects

Transmit the horizontal service load with small movements remaining with elastic response behavior

In the case of significant earthquakes limit the reaction force and dissipate energy by hysteretic behavior

Guarantee a stable response characteristic during a dynamic response with no cycle deterioration

The devices assure the following advantages:

- Very simple maintenance equal to the standard POT and spherical bearing because all the structural
parts made by steel

- Possibility of controlling the horizontal force transmitted from the superstructure to the substructure

- Reaction characteristic very simple (bilinear), stable with no temperature dependence

- After a catastrophic earthquake only the elements that dissipate energy by yielding must be replaced
with no damage to other components of the structure
 2. Make a case study of a certain Philippine earthquake,Discuss the magnitude, occurrence and
necessary details and its implications to the trends in structural or earthquake engineering for
future design.

The 1918 Celebes Sea earthquake occurred on 15 August at 12:18 UTC near the Moro Gulf coast of
Mindanao.[2] It had a magnitude of 8.3 on the moment magnitude scale[3] and a maximum perceived
intensity of X (Extreme) on the Mercalli intensity scale.

Its overall goal is to make such structures more resistant to earthquakes. An earthquake (or seismic)
engineer aims to construct structures that will not be damaged in minor shaking and will avoid serious
damage or collapse in a major earthquake. Foresee the potential consequences of strong earthquakes
on urban areas and civil infrastructure.
Design, construct and maintain structures to perform at earthquake exposure up to the expectations
and in compliance with building codes.[2]
A properly engineered structure does not necessarily have to be extremely strong or expensive. It has to
be properly designed to withstand the seismic effects while sustaining an acceptable level of damage.
