Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a scenario where an earthquake occurs at depth of 50 km with a hypocentre, explain how the epicentral location might differ in impact based on soil type and building design in urban areas.

💡 Hint: Consider how energy dissipation and structural integrity interact.

Question 2

You are tasked with redesigning a building near a known epicentre. Discuss the elements you would integrate based on seismic data.

💡 Hint: Think about construction techniques that enhance resilience against earthquakes.
