What is a vertical response spectrum?
Think about how it relates to horizontal spectra.
Name one type of structure that must consider vertical motions.
Consider structures that extend vertically.
What fraction of horizontal response spectra do vertical response spectra typically represent?
Consider how different fractions represent vertical aspects.
True or False: Vertical response spectra are irrelevant in the design of cantilevers.
Think about the structural characteristics of cantilevers.
A bridge is designed to minimize vertical movements during seismic events. If the horizontal spectra reaches a peak of 0.5g, what would you expect the vertical response spectra to be?
Recall the ratios we discussed.
Consider how the design of heavy equipment like cranes incorporates vertical response spectra. Describe how engineers analyze potential risks.
Think about the implications of vertical loading.
