3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does the elastic response spectrum assume about a structure's behavior?
Consider how a spring behaves when you pull it.
What is the role of the ductility factor (μ) in inelastic response spectra?
Think about how materials stretch under stress.
What is assumed by the elastic response spectrum?
Think about how the behavior of a rubber band differs from a piece of clay.
True or False: The inelastic response spectrum uses a response modification factor (R).
What happens to materials under extreme stress?
Given a structure exposed to seismic activity, evaluate whether to use an elastic or inelastic response spectrum and justify your choice.
Reflect on the structural requirements typical for buildings in high vs. low seismic zones.
Create a comparative analysis of design requirements when applying elastic versus inelastic response spectra based on historical earthquake data.
Think about how risk management plays a role in design strategies during different seismic conditions.
