Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Design a structural model for an 8-story building using MDOF principles, considering modal responses to earthquake forces and outlining how to estimate base shear from these modes.
💡 Hint: Use modal participation factors for a more accurate representation.
Question 2
Evaluate the seismic performance of a specific high-rise building using modal analysis and time-history data from prior earthquakes. How would you ensure safety and resilience?
💡 Hint: Remember to use effective mass calculations to justify your design choices.
