Question 1

What happens if the frequency of ground motion matches the natural frequency of a building?

  • It results in a stable structure.
  • It can cause amplified response.
  • It has no significant effect.

💡 Hint: Think of musical instruments when they vibrate.

Question 2

True or False: Higher frequency content results in less significant structural responses.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the concept of matching frequencies.
