Question 1

What does the acceleration-sensitive region correspond to?

  • Long-period structures
  • Short-period structures
  • Medium-period structures

💡 Hint: Focus on how quickly a structure reacts to ground shaking!

Question 2

True or False: The displacement-sensitive region is for structures that experience quick seismic movements.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the flexibility and movement range.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a new urban development area with mixed building types. Describe how the design strategies might differ for the structures in the acceleration-sensitive region vs. the displacement-sensitive region.

💡 Hint: Think about what happens to buildings of different heights in an earthquake.

Question 2

Apply the concepts of spectrum shape to propose a design feature for a high-rise building in a seismic zone. How would it tackle the challenges of the displacement-sensitive region?

💡 Hint: Consider methods that allow structures to stay resilient during a quake.
