Question 1
A structural engineer is analyzing a 5-story building with a natural frequency of 1.5 Hz. If an earthquake occurs with high energy in the frequency range of 1.5-3 Hz, what mitigation strategies would you recommend?
💡 Hint: Think about how to reduce amplification effects.
Question 2
Explain how a longer duration of shaking would affect a high-rise building designed to withstand short bursts of earthquake motion.
💡 Hint: Consider how fatigue plays a role in material failure under continuous stress.
