Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given an SDOF structure with an effective mass of 500 kg and an effective stiffness of 10000 N/m, calculate the natural frequency.

💡 Hint: Use the formula ω = √(k/m) to find the frequency.

Question 2

If an effective damping ratio is 0.05, how does this affect the structural response during a seismic event?

💡 Hint: Consider how damping impacts vibrations and movement.
