Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Imagine a 10-story building designed under traditional force-based methods. The expected lateral force is 100 kN. Discuss how this design may fail when focusing only on force without considering the displacement experienced during an earthquake.

💡 Hint: Consider the performance history of buildings during past earthquakes.

Question 2

You are tasked with designing a new commercial building in a seismic zone. Outline how you would apply displacement-based seismic design principles to ensure adequate safety.

💡 Hint: Refer to actual building codes for guidelines on seismic load calculations.
