Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Using the given empirical data from two different regions, compare the effectiveness of the Boore–Joyner–Fumal model to the Abrahamson–Silva model in those areas.
💡 Hint: Look for geological factors that differentiate the regions.
Question 2
Design a conceptual earthquake-resistant structure for a region using one of the attenuation models discussed. Justify your choice based on the model’s strengths in that geological context.
💡 Hint: Relate structural design back to model effectiveness.
