Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a building with a natural frequency of 5 Hz, analyze the risk if an earthquake produces seismic waves primarily in the range of 4 to 6 Hz. What measures would you suggest for safety?

💡 Hint: Consider the frequency overlap.

Question 2

Design a brief proposal for a new high-rise building in a seismic zone. Outline strategies to mitigate resonance effects based on expected earthquake frequencies.

💡 Hint: Focus on proactive design strategies.
