Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A 15-story building is modeled as an SDOF system with a natural frequency of 2 Hz. If a seismic event has a frequency of 2 Hz as well, what phenomenon would occur and what design considerations should be employed?

💡 Hint: Think back to how a swing moves more when pushed at the same frequency.

Question 2

Using given response spectrum data, calculate the expected maximum acceleration for a building with a period of 0.5 seconds. The response spectrum data shows a peak acceleration of 1.2g at that period. What does this mean for the design?

💡 Hint: Consider how g relates to forces experienced by the building.
