Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Based on given mode shapes and a mass distribution for a structure, derive the modal mass for the first mode of vibration. Discuss the implications if the modal mass is underestimated in seismic design.
💡 Hint: Make sure to detail the calculations clearly.
Question 2
Evaluate a scenario where a multi-story building's design failed due to not considering modal mass correctly. Propose a revised calculation method utilizing effective parameters.
💡 Hint: Focus on how modal mass could have changed results.
