Question 1
What is the purpose of a site-specific response spectrum?
- To provide a generic response for all areas
- To tailor seismic input for a specific location
- To define the distance from an earthquake source
💡 Hint: Focus on the purpose of tailoring designs.
Question 2
True or False: Site conditions do not significantly affect structural responses during an earthquake.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Think about the effects of different soil types on structure viability.

Question 1
Given a site's soil profile and historical seismic data, predict how the response spectrum might differ with varying water table levels.
💡 Hint: Consider how pore pressure in saturated soils can alter mechanical properties.
Question 2
Design a building's foundation in a soft soil region based on its site-specific response spectrum. Outline the critical elements to include.
💡 Hint: Think about how foundations should react to ground acceleration and resonance.
