Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A building has fixed supports at the base and free supports at the top. Design a hypothetical test to evaluate its response to an earthquake, discussing predicted outcomes based on boundary conditions.

💡 Hint: Focus on how the interaction of these supports will impact behavior under dynamic loading.

Question 2

How would you recommend adjusting the boundary conditions of an existing structure to enhance its earthquake resilience?

💡 Hint: Think about balancing support types to manage frequencies effectively.
