explain the method of damping the systems
CO2 Do the dynamic analysis of system / structures with Multi degrees of freedom under
free And forced vibration
CO3 Derive a mathematical model of a continuous system and do a dynamic analysis under
free and forced vibration
CO4 Explain the causes and effects of an earthquake
CO5 Design masonry and RC structures for the earthquake forces as per their
commendations of IS codes of practice
