Question 1

What does a DAF of greater than 1 indicate?

  • No amplification
  • Amplified motion
  • Static behavior

💡 Hint: Think about whether the motion increases.

Question 2

True or False: DAF only applies to static loads.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider if DAF relates to dynamic forces.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A structure experiences a maximum dynamic displacement of 15 cm and a static displacement of 5 cm. Calculate the DAF and discuss its implications in earthquake engineering context.

💡 Hint: Use the ratio of the two given displacements.

Question 2

Examine a scenario where two buildings with different natural frequencies are subjected to the same dynamic load during an earthquake. How would their DAF values differ? Discuss the potential outcomes.

💡 Hint: Think about how frequency relations affect DAF.
