4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does the term Pseudo Spectral Acceleration refer to?
Think about what happens during an earthquake.
What is a Response Spectrum?
Connect it to SDOF systems.
What does a response spectrum plot?
Consider what you are measuring.
True or False: Spectral Velocity represents the maximum displacement of an SDOF system.
Think about what 'velocity' means.
Given a seismic event characterized by specific ground motions, calculate the response spectrum for a target SDOF system with known mass and stiffness. Explain how the spectral values change with respect to damping.
Use the relationships of damping to peak acceleration and displacement.
Consider an engineer tasked with using response spectra to design a new office building in a seismically active area. Detail the steps they must take, including the significance of peak response parameters.
Think about design processes and safety standards.
