Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
