Practice Questions
Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.
Question 1
Easy
What effect does higher damping have on spectral acceleration?
💡 Hint: Think about how damping absorbs energy.
Question 2
Easy
Calculate the spectral acceleration for a building with a damping ratio of 10% if S_a,5% is 1.5 m/s².
💡 Hint: Use the damping correction factor from the table.

Question 1
A new skyscraper is being designed in a high seismic zone. If the expected damping ratio is 25%, calculate the adjusted spectral acceleration if the raw S_a,5% value is 2.0 m/s².
💡 Hint: Use the given damping ratio to apply the reduction factor.
