Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A structure experiences a maximum displacement of 12 inches with a yield displacement of 4 inches. Calculate its ductility demand and discuss its implications for design.

💡 Hint: Remember the formula for ductility demand.

Question 2

Consider a seismic design scenario where structural materials can achieve 10% ductility. If the expected maximum displacement during an earthquake is 8 inches, calculate the yield displacement and discuss the implications.

💡 Hint: Think about how ductility impacts material choice.
