Question 1
What is the typical natural frequency range for high-rise buildings?
- 0.5-1.5 Hz
- 0.2-1.0 Hz
- 1-3 Hz
💡 Hint: Think about the building height.
Question 2

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A new low-rise building experiences an earthquake with a dominant frequency of 5 Hz. If the natural frequency of the structure is 5 Hz, what considerations should engineers keep in mind regarding resonance?
💡 Hint: Consider strategies to mitigate resonant effects.
Question 2
Assess a situation in which a medium-rise building encounters an earthquake with frequencies predominantly between 1-3 Hz. What structural adaptations can significantly lower the risk of resonance?
💡 Hint: Think about additional mechanisms to absorb shocks.
