Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A building has a weight of 800 kN and is located in a high seismic hazard zone, yielding an A_h of 0.3. Calculate the design base shear and discuss implications.
💡 Hint: Use the base shear formula and reflect on the design importance.
Question 2
You are provided with a ductility demand of 3. If the yielding force of a structure is 100 kN, what maximum displacement can the structure handle without collapsing?
💡 Hint: Remember how to manipulate the ductility expression.
