Consider a new high-rise building with a natural period of 1.5 seconds. If the damping is increased from 2% to 10%, discuss the expected effects on the Elastic Response Spectrum.
💡 Hint: Focus on how damping influences building response.
Design a hypothetical scenario where an Elastic Response Spectrum would differ for two structures: a skyscraper and a low-rise building. What differences in parameters would you expect?
💡 Hint: Think about how building height and response times interact.
