Show hintHide hint
Consider why forces acting on structures need to be calculated.
Question 5.
Discuss the relationship between base shear and seismic design. What factors influence the calculation of base shear?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the variables that affect a building's response during seismic events.
Question 6.
Create a design approach for an MDOF system that incorporates multi-mode analysis. What steps would you take to execute this analysis?
Show hintHide hint
Think about both the computational methods and the physical responses of the structure.
