Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A bridge is monitored using ambient vibration testing after a significant earthquake. The results showed increased damping ratios compared to pre-earthquake data. Discuss what this implies for the structural integrity and what actions might be taken.

💡 Hint: Consider how the structure's response reflects its physical condition.

Question 2

Compare ambient vibration testing with shake table testing in terms of data accuracy and disruption level. Which method would be preferred in a highly populated urban area?

💡 Hint: Think about the benefits of each method in your response.
