Question 1
What effect do soft soils have on seismic wave amplitude?
- Increase
- Decrease
- No effect
💡 Hint: Think about how energy dissipates in softer vs harder materials.
Question 2
True or False: Resonance occurs when the frequency of earthquake waves mismatches a structure's natural frequency.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Consider the swing analogy.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Analyze a hypothetical 10-story building on soft soil. Given that its natural frequency is 1 Hz, how would an incoming Rayleigh wave of 1 Hz affect it?
💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between the wave frequency and the building's natural frequency.
Question 2
Evaluate a scenario where a new design is proposed to mitigate resonance effects. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of base isolation for this structure.
💡 Hint: Balance between effectiveness and feasibility.
