Question 1

What is the duration of motion in the context of earthquakes?

  • The strength of shaking
  • The length of time shaking occurs
  • The total number of aftershocks

💡 Hint: Think about 'how long' rather than 'how strong'.

Question 2

True or False: Longer duration of shaking leads to more cumulative damage.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Reflect on the time aspect of shaking.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

An engineer is tasked with designing a residential building in an area prone to long-duration earthquakes. What considerations and materials should the engineer focus on, and why?

💡 Hint: Think about how materials respond to repetitive stress.

Question 2

Evaluate the risks associated with cumulative damage in a structure that experiences repeated seismic loading compared to one that does not. Provide specific examples and implications for design strategies.

💡 Hint: Consider how both types of structures react over time under seismic conditions.
