2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does a response spectrum represent?
Think about how structures react in an earthquake.
What is pseudo spectral acceleration?
It relates to the expected peak actions on structures.
What does a response spectrum visualize?
Focus on the structural responses during earthquakes.
True or False: Pseudo spectral acceleration represents real, measured responses during an earthquake.
Think about what 'pseudo' means.
Assess the implications of using outdated response spectra in seismic design. What factors must engineers consider to maintain safety standards?
Think about advances in seismic understanding and their impacts.
If a building’s design does not incorporate the pseudo spectral acceleration correctly, how might this affect its performance during an earthquake? Provide hypothetical scenarios.
Consider what could happen if safety margins are not met.
