Lesson Objectives
Upon completing this lesson, participants will recognize the background
to the building code seismic provisions, including:
Source, nature, and characteristics of earthquake ground motions;
The nature of building response to ground motion;
The concepts of frequency, period, damping, resonance, inertia force,
and load paths,
The concept of inelastic structural response and consequent need for
proper detailing;
Seismic force-resisting structural systems.

Resonance
When the frequency contents of the ground motion are
centered around the building's natural frequency, the
building and the ground motion are in resonance.
Resonance tends to increase or amplify building
response.
Because of this, buildings suffer the greatest damage
from ground motion at a frequency close or equal to
their natural frequencies.

Inertia Force
In some circumstances, dynamic amplification (due to near-
resonance) can increase the building acceleration to a value
two or more times that of the ground acceleration at the
base.
Generally, buildings with higher natural frequencies or short
natural periods tend to suffer higher accelerations but
smaller displacements.
In the case of buildings with lower natural frequencies or
long natural periods, this is reversed and the buildings
experience lower accelerations but larger displacements.
