Increasing the damping ratio generally
Answer: C
Correct answer: reduces the spectral ordinates
Damping dissipates energy in each cycle, so the peak response to the same ground motion is smaller. The effect is largest near the peaks of the spectrum, where the response is built up over many cycles, and smallest at very short and very long periods where the ordinates are governed by the peak ground acceleration and displacement instead.
