Question 1

What does the Elastic Response Spectrum assume about structural behavior?

  • It assumes nonlinear behavior
  • It assumes linear behavior
  • It assumes only static loads

💡 Hint: Think about how structures respond during an earthquake.

Question 2

True or False: The natural period directly affects how buildings respond to earthquakes.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider what affects the way buildings sway.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

Question 2

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.
