Question 1
What does spectral acceleration (Sa) indicate in seismic design?
- Maximum displacement
- Maximum acceleration
- Maximum velocity
💡 Hint: Focus on the key measurement we are assessing in response to ground motion.
Question 2
Is it true that soil conditions do not affect calculated spectral acceleration (Sa)?
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between soil properties and structural responses.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A new bridge design requires computation of spectral acceleration. Given the site conditions of sandy soil and a span of 250 meters, outline the steps you would take to ensure accurate Sa calculation.
💡 Hint: Think about how each factor interacts in seismic contexts.
Question 2
Evaluate how an increase in damping ratio from 5% to 15% would affect the spectral acceleration for a newly constructed tower. Provide calculations to support your analysis.
💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between damping and spectral acceleration quantitatively.
