Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a building designed as an SDOF system. How would its design change if it were subject to resonance during seismic events?

💡 Hint: Reflect on the effects of resonance we've discussed.

Question 2

Discuss the adjustments needed for multi-story buildings when transitioning from SDOF to MDOF analyses.

💡 Hint: Think about how multiple degrees of freedom change the dynamics compared to a single focus.
