Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A structural analysis requires determining the effects of varying damping ratios on a flexible building modeled for seismic action. If the initial ratio is 3%, how might increasing it to 5% impact the structural response?
💡 Hint: Consider how increased damping mitigates movement.
Question 2
Explain how the aging of materials affects the damping capacity over time and its implications for structural safety.
💡 Hint: Think of how wear and tear influence performance in real-life scenarios.
