Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Design a simple conceptual model of an MDOF structure with base isolation. What key parameters will you consider in your calculations?
💡 Hint: Sketch the structural layout and think about how each component interacts under seismic forces.
Question 2
Analyze a building's performance during seismic activities with and without base isolation. Discuss the expected outcomes.
💡 Hint: Consider how the building's responses differ under similar seismic events.
