3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What happens to seismic wave amplitude in soft soils?
Think about how softer mediums differ from harder ones.
Describe what resonance means in the context of seismic waves.
Consider how a swing works.
What effect do soft soils have on seismic wave amplitude?
Think about how energy dissipates in softer vs harder materials.
True or False: Resonance occurs when the frequency of earthquake waves mismatches a structure's natural frequency.
Consider the swing analogy.
Analyze a hypothetical 10-story building on soft soil. Given that its natural frequency is 1 Hz, how would an incoming Rayleigh wave of 1 Hz affect it?
Consider the relationship between the wave frequency and the building's natural frequency.
Evaluate a scenario where a new design is proposed to mitigate resonance effects. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of base isolation for this structure.
Balance between effectiveness and feasibility.
