Question 1

What does spectral acceleration measure?

  • Maximum velocity response
  • Maximum displacement response
  • Maximum acceleration response

💡 Hint: Consider the focus on movement response when analyzing structures.

Question 2

True or False: Hazard curves represent a linear correlation between Sa and probability of exceedance.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the complexity of seismic events.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a set of spectral acceleration values and their corresponding exceedance probabilities, create a hazard curve graphically representing this data.

💡 Hint: Remember how you can join points in a scatter plot to illustrate trends!

Question 2

Evaluate the impacts on building design if Sa values increase in high seismic risk zones. How would this influence decision-making in materials and structural reinforcements?

💡 Hint: Think of how a stronger response in Sa equates to a need for more durable structures.
