Question 1

What is the difference between static and dynamic loading?

  • Static loads are time-varying
  • Dynamic loads are time-invariant
  • Static loads do not change rapidly

💡 Hint: Consider the time dependency of each type of load.

Question 2

True or False: Dynamic loading can cause stress spikes even under low loads.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Reflect on how forces interact with structures dynamically.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a simple bridge structure accounting for both static and dynamic load factors. Discuss what parameters you would consider measuring stress distribution.

💡 Hint: Consider both the steady and sudden forces on your structure.

Question 2

Analyze a scenario where a building designed only for static loads is subjected to a sudden earthquake. Predict the failure points based on stress distribution.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how different areas within the structure adapt to changing stress.
