Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a building with a low natural frequency, identify the types of seismic forces that could significantly affect its stability. Propose a dynamic analysis approach to evaluate its load response.

💡 Hint: Consider different analysis methods that can capture real-world conditions.

Question 2

Evaluate the consequences of neglecting dynamic analysis in the design of a highly asymmetrical earthquake-resistant structure. Discuss potential failure mechanisms that could arise.

💡 Hint: Think about how different forces interact in irregular structures.
