Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A building has a height of 30 meters and needs to calculate the base shear during an earthquake. If the calculated lateral force is 150 kN, how would you distribute this base shear along the height of the building?

💡 Hint: Consider how the forces distribute based on height and structural support.

Question 2

Critically analyze a situation where applying the Simplified Static Equivalent Method might lead to inadequate design measures in an irregularly shaped building.

💡 Hint: Reflect on building shapes and how they straightforwardly translate to lateral forces.
