Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the effect of damping ratio on the response of a building during a hypothetical earthquake scenario. Discuss the implications of insufficient damping.

💡 Hint: Use known damping ratios for reference structures and compare the results.

Question 2

Develop a case study analyzing a specific structure's design using IS 1893. Discuss how effective use of ground motion records informed the design process.

💡 Hint: Select a real structure and use actual data from past earthquakes for the analysis.
