Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A structural engineer designs a building only considering static loads. What risks does this pose in an earthquake-prone region?

💡 Hint: Think about how buildings react during natural events.

Question 2

Given a structure with a total dead load of 500 kN and a live load of 300 kN, calculate the total static load the structure must support.

💡 Hint: Add the dead and live loads directly.
