Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A building is designed using a response spectrum with a damping ratio of 5%. Calculate the expected spectral acceleration for a natural period of 1 second if PGA = 0.5g.
💡 Hint: Use the formula S_a = PGA * normalization factor for damping.
Question 2
Given two structures with different damping ratios (2%, 5%), determine which one would likely experience greater deformations under the same seismic event. Justify your answer using concepts discussed.
💡 Hint: Refer back to the relationship between damping and structural response.
