Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A building has a desired target displacement of 10 cm under seismic loading. If pushover analysis indicates a maximum base shear before reaching that displacement is 50 kN, discuss what this implies for performance-based design.
💡 Hint: Consider what happens to safety considerations if maximum loads are exceeded.
Question 2
A multistory building undergoes pushover analysis revealing a sharply increasing capacity curve followed by a plateau. What does this indicate about the structure's performance during seismic loading?
💡 Hint: Analyze the implications of the curve's shape on potential design adjustments.
