Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Design a building in a region with high PGA values. How will you factor in spectral content to mitigate the risk of resonance?
💡 Hint: Evaluate the building's frequency and compare it to expected seismic conditions.
Question 2
You are assessing a site with a recorded long duration of ground shaking. Discuss your structural considerations in light of this.
💡 Hint: Think about what structures endure under prolonged stress.
