Question 1.
What is base isolation?
Show hintHide hint
Focus on how it affects the building's interaction with ground movements.
Question 2.
Name one type of energy dissipation device.
Show hintHide hint
Think about types of devices that absorb shock.
3Question 3.
What is the purpose of base isolation?
- To increase the building's weight
- To reduce ground motion effects
- To enhance electrical systems
Show hintHide hint
Think about how this method changes building interactions with ground forces.
4Question 4.
True or False: Energy dissipation devices convert kinetic energy into heat.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the main function of these devices in structures.
Question 5.
A 20-story building in a seismic zone is to be designed with a base isolation system. Describe the considerations that must be taken into account regarding the materials and overall design.
Show hintHide hint
Consider both the technical and practical aspects of installation.
Question 6.
Construct a hypothetical case where a tuned mass damper fails. Describe the consequences on the structure and the reasons for the failure.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how system interaction plays a role in successful mitigation.
