Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A base-isolated building has a natural frequency of 2 Hz. An earthquake wave has a dominant frequency of 2 Hz. Analyze how this scenario might unfold and suggest preventative measures.
💡 Hint: Consider how to change the frequency or structural response.
Evaluate a scenario where two adjacent buildings have different natural frequencies but face the same earthquake loading. Discuss the implications for structural integrity.
💡 Hint: Think about how varying building properties influence responses to external loads.
