Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a building structure with specific materials and dimensions for a city located near a known fault line. Define a scenario earthquake and discuss how you would consider hypocentre parameters in your design.

💡 Hint: Consider how the parameters you've defined will influence building material choices and design features.

Question 2

Analyze how a deep-focus earthquake might differently impact an urban setting compared to a shallow-focus earthquake, specifically in relation to hypocentre parameters.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the relationship between depth and ground motion intensity.
