Question 1

What is the main purpose of site-specific response spectra?

  • To provide general design guidelines
  • To tailor seismic responses for critical structures
  • To analyze historical earthquakes

💡 Hint: Consider the critical nature of facilities like hospitals.

Question 2

True or False: Ground motion selection only involves picking random earthquake records.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how one would accurately describe local earthquake potential.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a new hospital being built in a region with diverse soil types. Outline the steps for developing site-specific response spectra for the facility.

💡 Hint: Think about what data each step needs to ensure a solid approach.

Question 2

Evaluate the potential inaccuracies that might arise if a general response spectrum is used instead of a site-specific spectrum for a critical structure.

💡 Hint: Consider how local conditions can drastically affect performance.
