Peak ground velocity is generally a better index than peak acceleration for
Answer: C
Correct answer: intermediate and long-period structures
Peak velocity is governed by the intermediate frequencies, which is where the energy that matters to medium and long-period structures lies. Peak acceleration is dominated by very high frequencies, whose brief spikes shake a stiff structure but carry little energy for a flexible one, so it correlates poorly with damage to taller buildings.
