Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a structure with known initial displacements before an earthquake, analyze how ignoring these in calculations using Duhamel's Integral may lead to dangerous outcomes.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how the structure was set just before the load application.

Question 2

If a building is modeled using Duhamel's Integral but shows signs of inelastic behavior during an earthquake, what deeper analysis could be conducted to assess structural integrity?

💡 Hint: Consider methods outside linear approaches when plastic behavior is detected.
