3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What are Rayleigh waves?
Consider their movement and the type of seismic wave.
Why is dispersion important in Rayleigh waves?
Think of how different frequencies might impact buildings.
What motion characterizes Rayleigh waves?
Think about their wave motion compared to other types.
True or False: Dispersion in Rayleigh waves means all frequencies travel at the same speed.
Consider what this means for seismic analysis.
Given a layered soil profile, determine how the presence of a soft layer affects the propagation of Rayleigh waves during an earthquake.
Consider how energy transfer works through different soil types.
Design a structural element that mitigates the effects of Rayleigh waves on multi-story buildings.
Think about how vibrations can be absorbed or dampened.
