Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a seismic event characterized by specific ground motions, calculate the response spectrum for a target SDOF system with known mass and stiffness. Explain how the spectral values change with respect to damping.
💡 Hint: Use the relationships of damping to peak acceleration and displacement.
Question 2
Consider an engineer tasked with using response spectra to design a new office building in a seismically active area. Detail the steps they must take, including the significance of peak response parameters.
💡 Hint: Think about design processes and safety standards.
