Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Explain how hysteretic damping could change the design approach for a new high-rise building in an earthquake-prone area.

💡 Hint: Consider materials and how they respond during stress.

Question 2

If a structure experiences oscillations with a peak velocity of 10 m/s, and the damping coefficient is 200 Ns/m, calculate the damping force.

💡 Hint: Use the viscous damping formula.
