Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the required base shear for a building designed for seismic load using a Response Reduction Factor of 3 and a static base shear of 240 kN.

💡 Hint: Remember the purpose of the Response Reduction Factor.

Question 2

Consider a building’s natural frequency is 2 Hz, and its structure is dynamically loading during ground shaking of 3Hz. What approach could be taken to avoid resonance?

💡 Hint: Consider devices that alter vibration responses.
