Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A structure has a spectral acceleration of 1g. If the damping ratio is increased to 20%, calculate the new spectral acceleration using the corresponding reduction factor.
💡 Hint: Multiply the original spectral acceleration by the reduction factor for 20% damping.
Question 2
For a building with a 30% damping ratio, you find that its spectral acceleration before applying the correction is 0.75g. Calculate the adjusted spectral acceleration based on the provided correction factor.
💡 Hint: Check the table for the reduction factor for 30% damping.
