Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A new base-isolated system has a damping ratio of 30%. If an existing system has a ratio of 20%, calculate the improvement in performance in terms of energy dissipation.
💡 Hint: Think about stiffness and how the damping ratios might influence overall building response.
Question 2
In a recent project, an engineer finds that their reinforced concrete structure has a damping ratio of 6%, while they expected 5%. Discuss the implications of this change.
💡 Hint: How does improved performance affect design considerations?
