Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Analyze a hypothetical scenario where a building is constructed on a site with a shallow hypocentre nearby. Discuss the design strategies that would mitigate the impact of seismic waves.
💡 Hint: Look at how building materials respond to shaking.
Question 2
Compare the seismic responses of two regions, one with primarily shallow hypocentres and the other with deep hypocentres. What implications might these differences have for urban planning?
💡 Hint: Consider the implications on emergency response as well.
