Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a building designed with a natural frequency of 2 Hz. Analyze how a narrow-band earthquake motion with a peak frequency of 2 Hz will affect the structure.

💡 Hint: Focus on the resonance effect when frequencies align.

Question 2

Imagine a scenario where several vibrations from different earthquakes impact a structure. How would you use PSD analysis to decide on structural reinforcements?

💡 Hint: Think about the importance of frequency knowledge for design decisions.
