Question 1
What is a major limitation of SDOF systems in relation to seismic analysis?
- They account for all types of motion
- They do not capture multi-modal responses
- They include detailed local failures
💡 Hint: Consider what happens during an earthquake in complex buildings.
Question 2
True or False: SDOF idealizations can effectively predict localized deformations in a structure.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Think about what SDOF models focus on.
