Question 1

What does the 'M' represent in the Equation of Motion?

  • Mass matrix
  • Damping matrix
  • Stiffness matrix

💡 Hint: M's significance is in its relationship to acceleration.

Question 2

True or False: Time history analysis provides a detailed view of the structure's performance over time during an earthquake.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider what aspect of the motion is tracked.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a structure with a mass of 5000 kg and a damping coefficient of 10 Ns/m, derive the equation of motion including the stiffness multiplier and ground acceleration of 5 m/s².

💡 Hint: Remember to keep each term consistent with units and parameters.

Question 2

Assume a building uses time history analysis to evaluate responses to a ground motion with varying acceleration over time. Discuss its impact relative to a simple average response from response spectrum analysis.

💡 Hint: Think about the detailed aspect of how structures react as conditions change.
