Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a 3-story building modeled as an MDOF system, where each floor has different masses and stiffnesses, derive the coupled differential equations governing their motion.

💡 Hint: Think about how the motion of one floor affects the others.

Question 2

Explain the impact of neglecting the coupled nature of MDOF systems in seismic design.

💡 Hint: Consider how dynamics should account for interactions, not just isolated events.
