Question 1
What is the primary purpose of idealizing a structure as SDOF?
- To simplify complex responses
- To increase complexity
- To ignore seismic effects
💡 Hint: Recall why we want to make our analysis simpler.
Question 2
True or False: We only consider lateral movements in SDOF systems.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Think about what types of displacements are included.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a 10-story building with uniform mass distribution, describe how you would approach the idealization process for seismic analysis.
💡 Hint: Step through each idealization step.
Question 2
A building's seismic analysis shows high sensitivity to stiffness changes. Discuss how you would adjust the idealization process in this case.
💡 Hint: Think about how structural adjustments affect your model.
