Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

An SDOF system has a natural frequency of 3 Hz, and its damping ratio is 0.05. If it experiences earthquake ground motion with a peak acceleration of 2g, calculate the expected peak response using the response spectrum.

💡 Hint: Use appropriate response spectrum formulas based on the provided values.

Question 2

A building designed as an SDOF system is found to exhibit inelastic behavior during an earthquake. Discuss the implications of this on the design spectrum and propose design alterations.

💡 Hint: Think about how construction might need to adapt to changing dynamics.
