Question 1

What does the Design Response Spectrum represent?

  • Maximum response under static load
  • Maximum response to ground motion
  • Structural strength

💡 Hint: Remember how structures behave during earthquakes.

Question 2

True or False: A higher damping ratio always means a more effective earthquake-resistant structure.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how different materials influence damping.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A structural engineer is designing a building in a zone with a high peak ground acceleration. How should they utilize the Design Response Spectrum to ensure safety?

💡 Hint: Consider how various factors such as soil and building height might influence the type of design needed.

Question 2

Analyze the implications of a poorly designed structure without consideration of the Design Response Spectrum. What failures could occur?

💡 Hint: Think about the consequences of ignoring seismic considerations in building codes.
