Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A building with a natural period of 1 second has a maximum displacement of S_d = 20 mm during an earthquake. If the damping ratio increases, how will this affect the displacement value? Explain your reasoning.
💡 Hint: Think about how damping interacts with energy absorption.
Question 2
Analyze how a longer natural period would impact the S_v and S_a values for structures. Provide an explanation based on seismic behavior.
💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between frequency and structural response.
