Question 1
What is normalization of response spectra?
- Adjusting data to a common reference
- Ignoring peak ground parameters
- Changing the frequency of the spectra
💡 Hint: Think about why we want to have a consistent reference.
Question 2
True or False: Peak Ground Velocity (PGV) is not used in normalizing response spectra.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Consider a seismic zone where the average PGA is 1.5g. Determine how you would normalize a response spectrum based on this measurement.
💡 Hint: Consider how you would factor in this ground acceleration into spectrum data.
Question 2
Evaluate the impacts of ignoring normalization on the response spectrum for a historical building in a high-PGA area.
💡 Hint: Think about the repercussions of utilizing unrefined data in crucial designs.
