5 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What are seismic design codes?
Think about the safety measures for buildings.
Define natural period.
What does 'cycle' refer to in vibration?
What is the primary purpose of seismic design codes?
Think about what’s most important during an earthquake.
True or False: Importance factors consider the type of occupancy of a building.
Recall which buildings need to function post-earthquake.
Given a new code introduces a higher base shear for buildings in seismic zones, discuss potential implications on construction costs and design considerations.
Consider how safety might outweigh costs in earthquake-prone areas.
In a specific region, buildings with a natural period of 1 second are found to perform poorly in earthquakes. Propose modifications in the design or code that could enhance their performance.
Think about strategies to avoid resonance.
