Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a multi-story building subjected to an earthquake. Explain how higher mode shapes might indicate response locations for stress points and how engineers might use this information.

💡 Hint: Think about both movement patterns and implications for structural integrity.

Question 2

In a structural analysis software, you notice anomalies in higher mode shape outputs after implementing changes in design parameters. Discuss steps to investigate these anomalies.

💡 Hint: Review how design impacts vibration characteristics.
