Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A 6-story building is modeled using lumped mass idealization with masses of 1000 kg per floor. If each spring representing stiffness has a constant of 5000 N/m, calculate the natural frequency of the system.
💡 Hint: Remember the formula for calculating natural frequency.
Question 2
Discuss how using lumped mass idealization could impact the seismic design of a complex structure fitted with numerous irregularities.
💡 Hint: Consider the balance between simplification and accuracy in structural behavior.
