Question 1

What is a family of response spectra used for?

  • To identify total energy consumption
  • To assess structural responses under different damping ratios
  • To analyze thermal performance

💡 Hint: Focus on the relationship between damping and structural response.

Question 2

True or False: Higher damping leads to higher spectral ordinates.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about what damping achieves in structural behavior.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A structure is designed with a damping ratio of 10%. Evaluate how this choice impacts its performance in a seismic event compared to a structure with 2% damping.

💡 Hint: Focus on the relationship between damping and peak load capacities.

Question 2

Consider a scenario where you need to design a bridge with varying damping ratios between 2% and 10%. Analyze how this range affects your response spectrum and the resultant design choices.

💡 Hint: Assess the importance of reducing forces through proper damping.
