Question 1
What is the purpose of a response spectrum?
- To predict ground motion
- To describe SDOF peak responses
- To measure time during an earthquake
💡 Hint: Focus on what response spectra actually visualize.
Question 2
True or False: Damping has no effect on the response of a structure during an earthquake.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Consider the purpose of damping in real-world structures.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Create a hypothetical scenario where an SDOF system exhibits high damping. Explain how this would affect its response spectrum.
💡 Hint: Think about how energy dissipation changes with different damping levels.
Question 2
Evaluate how the characteristics of ground motion influence the shape of the response spectrum for a given SDOF. Provide a brief explanation.
💡 Hint: Consider how different earthquake types might change structural responses.
