Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A building with a damping ratio of 3% is subjected to seismic loading. How does this damping affect its peak displacement compared to a building with 1% damping?
💡 Hint: Consider the principles of energy absorption in damping.
Question 2
Describe the implications of inadequate damping in a newly built tall structure during an earthquake. Provide potential solutions.
💡 Hint: Think about engineering practices that enhance stability.
