Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
You are designing a multi-story building with a base isolator system. Calculate the expected reduction in design force when using 20% damping with a DMF of 0.58. What challenges might you face in real-world application?
💡 Hint: Consider the formula for calculating design forces with the DMF.
Question 2
Propose a strategy for evaluating damping effectiveness in existing structures. What methods would you use to ensure accurate assessment?
💡 Hint: Think of both laboratory and field-testing methods.
