Question 1
Given a scenario of a base-isolated structure in an earthquake zone, analyze how ignoring vertical ground motion could affect its design.
💡 Hint: Consider how the isolation system relies on accurate motion analysis.
Question 2
You have data for horizontal ground motions during an earthquake. How would you estimate vertical ground motion for a specific project location?
💡 Hint: What is the typical range for the V/H ratio?
