Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a city with a major road running parallel to a fault line. If an earthquake occurs and lateral offsets are observed, what engineering strategies can be employed to mitigate the impact on infrastructure?

💡 Hint: Think about how structures can adapt to movement.

Question 2

A pipeline runs along a fault line that experiences significant vertical displacement after an earthquake. Discuss the potential risks and suggest measures to reduce them.

💡 Hint: How can we ensure the pipeline is secure despite ground movement?
