Question 1
What happens to peak displacements when damping increases?
- Increase
- Decrease
- Remain constant
💡 Hint: Think about how energy dissipation affects movement.
Question 2
Higher damping results in lower inter-story drift.
- True

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a tall building with a damping ratio of 0.2, estimate the peak displacement if the base displacement is measured at 0.5 meters. What implication does higher damping have on this scenario?
💡 Hint: Think about how damping affects energy fluctuation.
Question 2
Explain how the relationship between damping and inter-story drift can be modeled in a simulation. What factors need to be accounted for?
💡 Hint: Consider what aspects will change the earth's impact on floors.
