Question 1.
What is pushover analysis?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how structures react to static loads.
Question 2.
Why do we perform time-history analysis?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the dynamics of an earthquake.
3Question 3.
What is the primary goal of pushover analysis?
- To predict lateral loads
- To determine failure points
- To assess ground conditions
Show hintHide hint
Think about what you're trying to find out when pushing a structure to its limits.
4Question 4.
True or False: Time-history analysis can reflect real earthquake motions.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider whether this analysis mirrors actual conditions.
Question 5.
A retrofitted building using pushover analysis shows no failure until a lateral load of 200 kN is applied. If the building experiences an unexpected seismic load of 300 kN, what implications does this analysis have for building safety?
Show hintHide hint
Consider real-world implications of the pushover test results.
Question 6.
Using time-history analysis, a building responds to an earthquake simulation in a way that exceeds expected displacements. List factors that might influence this response.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the components that contribute to building performance under load.
