Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A building is designed to withstand static loads only. During an earthquake, it experiences significant amplifications due to resonance. Discuss the implications and what design changes could improve its resilience.

💡 Hint: Think about how structures are tested for various load types.

Question 2

From the above equation of motion, determine how would you modify the response of a structure under dynamic loading if the damping matrix C is increased. Explain the effects this could have.

💡 Hint: Consider how damping affects oscillations in physical systems.
