Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a building code assumes a damping ratio of 5%, analyze how applying a damping modification factor of 0.77 for a different structure would affect seismic design forces.
💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between spectral response and damping adjustments.
Question 2
Discuss how damping ratios directly correlate with energy-dissipating devices in reducing seismic loads, using compliant building designs as examples.
💡 Hint: Think about specific devices and their operating principles in reducing the impact of seismic forces.
