Question 1

What is a characteristic of high-frequency ground motions?

  • They occur at low frequencies
  • They can lead to significant structural damage
  • They do not affect tall buildings

💡 Hint: Consider why height matters during an earthquake.

Question 2

True or False: Lateral-torsional coupling can be ignored in tall building designs.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how buildings sway in an earthquake.
