Question 1

What is relative displacement?

  • The movement of a mass.
  • The difference between mass displacement and ground movement.
  • The total displacement of a structure.

💡 Hint: Think about what 'relative' means.

Question 2

True or False: Increased damping always decreases relative displacement.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Connect damping with energy dissipation.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A building oscillates with a natural period of 1.5 seconds during an earthquake. If the mass displaces 0.75m and the ground moves 0.5m during shaking, find the relative displacement and evaluate the significance of the results.

💡 Hint: Use the subtraction mentioned for ur.

Question 2

Discuss how varying levels of damping in structures affect their response to earthquake motions. Provide examples of structures with high and low damping characteristics.

💡 Hint: Consider examples of damping systems in real structures.
