3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does ductility mean in the context of structural design?
Think about how materials behave under stress.
Define base shear.
Consider forces acting horizontally during seismic activity.
What does the Importance Factor (I) represent?
Think about critical structures like hospitals.
True or False: The Response Reduction Factor (R) is used to increase seismic loads.
Consider how flexible structures behave during seismic events.
Calculate the base shear for a 10-story building weighing 200 tons, located in a high seismic zone where the seismic coefficient is 0.2.
Remember to convert tons into a consistent unit if needed.
Discuss how the design spectrum is relevant for a structure located on soft soil as opposed to hard rock.
Reflect on how ground conditions influence seismic design.
