Question 1

What is the primary purpose of a site-specific response spectrum?

  • To reflect general seismic guidelines
  • To provide a highly accurate prediction of site response
  • To apply to all buildings uniformly

💡 Hint: Consider why standard designs may not be sufficient for complex sites.

Question 2

True or False: Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis assesses maximum credible scenarios only.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how probabilities are calculated and applied.
