Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A structure shows a natural frequency of 3 Hz. During an earthquake, the ground motion was recorded with a frequency of 3 Hz. Discuss the potential implications for the structure.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the concepts of resonance and frequency.

Question 2

In a multi-storey building, it has been observed that the first mode contributes 70% to the overall response. What does this imply for the design and analysis of the building?

💡 Hint: Think about how modal participation informs engineering decisions.
