Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Analyze an urban area at risk of earthquakes with varying hypocentral depths. How would you approach the design of buildings in each scenario? Discuss material choices and structural techniques.
💡 Hint: Consider how materials respond to different intensities.
Question 2
Develop a comprehensive safety plan for a newly proposed development in a region with known shallow hypocentres. What considerations will you take into account for construction and post-construction phases?
💡 Hint: Think about what can be done before and after construction.
