Question 1

What is the term for the frequency at which a structure tends to vibrate naturally?

  • Damping
  • Natural Frequency
  • Resonance

💡 Hint: This is a foundational concept in structural dynamics.

Question 2

True or False: Damping significantly alters the natural frequency of a structure.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Focus on the role of damping versus its effect.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A 10-story building has a natural frequency of 1 Hz. During an earthquake, the ground motion has a frequency of 1 Hz. Analyze the effect of this resonance without sufficient damping.

💡 Hint: Think about how resonance changes the amplitude of vibrations.

Question 2

Propose an engineering solution to reduce the impact of resonance in a high-rise structure undergoing severe seismic loading.

💡 Hint: Consider how mass can be used to counteract movement.
