Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a new code introduces a higher base shear for buildings in seismic zones, discuss potential implications on construction costs and design considerations.

💡 Hint: Consider how safety might outweigh costs in earthquake-prone areas.

Question 2

In a specific region, buildings with a natural period of 1 second are found to perform poorly in earthquakes. Propose modifications in the design or code that could enhance their performance.

💡 Hint: Think about strategies to avoid resonance.
