Question 1

What does the Elastic Response Spectrum represent?

  • The accuracy of seismic models
  • The maximum displacement of structures
  • The relationship between ground motion and structural response

💡 Hint: Reflect on what we discussed regarding the behavior of structures under seismic conditions.

Question 2

True or False: Spectral acceleration is independent of the damping ratio.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how damping usually influences system responses during shaking.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A building has a natural period of 0.5 seconds. Discuss the implications of this period concerning maximum spectral acceleration in a seismic zone rated with high ground acceleration values.

💡 Hint: Think about how natural frequency relates to seismic forces.

Question 2

Graph an Elastic Response Spectrum for a hypothetical structure with known maximum responses at multiple periods ranging from 0.1s to 2.0s. Discuss how the results inform design choices.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how you model structural responses in your graph.
