Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A structure designed for static loading begins to experience dynamic forces during an earthquake. Discuss how this may lead to failure and what approaches engineers can take to mitigate these risks.

💡 Hint: Focus on engineering techniques that address oscillating forces.

Question 2

Consider a bridge exposed to varying traffic loads and potential seismic activity. How can dynamic analysis improve its design and longevity?

💡 Hint: Think about what features could be added to manage the forces.
