Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
