Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A building has a natural frequency of 5 Hz. An earthquake produces significant vibrations at 5 Hz. Describe the potential outcomes if no tuning is applied and propose a TMD solution.

💡 Hint: Think about how TMDs interact with frequencies.

Question 2

If a bridge utilizes a TMD that effectively reduces vibrations by 40%, what would be the implications on structural design considerations when calculating load-bearing capacities?

💡 Hint: Consider how less vibration might affect material stress.
