Question 1
What does the damping ratio affect during structural response to earthquakes?
- It reduces mass
- It increases stiffness
- It affects peak response
💡 Hint: Think about how shock absorbers work in a car.
Question 2
True or False: An inelastic response leads to permanent deformations in a structure.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Think about a bent beam after a heavy load.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a mass of 500 kg and a damping ratio of 0.5 for an SDOF system with a stiffness of 20000 N/m, calculate the peak response under a sinusoidal ground motion.
💡 Hint: Consider how the damping affects the maximum amplitude during oscillations.
Question 2
Discuss the implications of earthquake frequency on various structures. How would the design differ for a tall building versus a bridge?
💡 Hint: Think about how different structures perform under varying frequencies.
