Question 1

Given a structure with various mass and stiffness properties, calculate the dynamic response when subjected to an earthquake. Consider all damping effects.

💡 Hint: Break down the problem by first listing all relevant properties.

Question 2

Evaluate how changing boundary conditions from fixed to free can affect the natural frequencies of a building structure.

💡 Hint: Consider that different supports will alter how much a building can flex or move.
