Show hintHide hint
Think about forces that don’t change quickly.
Question 2.
Why is dynamic analysis important in earthquake engineering?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the unpredictable nature of earthquakes.
3Question 3.
What primarily distinguishes static forces from dynamic forces?
- Static forces are time-independent.
- Dynamic forces are predictable.
- Static forces involve inertia.
