Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Evaluate how incorporating a tuned mass damper in a high-rise building would impact its fundamental frequency and mode shapes.

💡 Hint: Think about how the mass and position of the TMD interact with the building's structure.

Question 2

Given a building with weak stories, design a retrofitting approach that highlights the changes in mode shapes.

💡 Hint: Consider practical retrofitting methods used in real-world applications.
