Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a short narrative describing a scenario where a building uses both base isolation and tuned mass dampers during an earthquake.

💡 Hint: Focus on how the two systems work together to minimize structural movement.

Question 2

Analyze the potential effects of a poorly designed active control system in a high-rise building during an earthquake.

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between feedback and structural response.
