Question 1

What is a limitation of using SDOF models?

  • Only considers one mode of vibration
  • Includes all dynamic modes
  • Simplifies material properties

💡 Hint: Think about how complex structures actually behave.

Question 2

True or False: SDOF models can accurately capture localized deformations.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall what localized deformations mean in structural contexts.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a multi-story building of 10 stories, analyze the potential dangers of applying SDOF modeling compared to multi-modal analysis.

💡 Hint: Focus on how vibrations propagate through structures and different structural behaviors.

Question 2

Imagine you are tasked with designing a seismic-resistant building. Discuss how you would address the limitations of SDOF models in your design choices.

💡 Hint: Consider various factors contributing to structural behavior under dynamic loads.
