Question 1
What is a site-specific response spectrum designed to represent?
- Only the average ground movement.
- Unique seismic responses for a specific location.
- Generic seismic responses applicable everywhere.
💡 Hint: Think of terms like 'unique' vs 'average'.
Question 2
True or False: Site-specific spectra ensure that structures always overperform in seismic assessments.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Consider the meaning of 'overperform' and what it's compared to.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Evaluate a new construction site that sits atop soft clay versus hard rock. Analyze how each site might respond differently during a seismic event and the implications for structural design.
💡 Hint: Consider how the material characteristics impact seismic responses.
Question 2
Design a brief study plan to assess the site-specific factors impacting a proposed new bridge in a seismic zone. What steps would you include, and why?
💡 Hint: Think about the questions you would need to answer for a safe and functional bridge design.
